Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.
-
jeremylongshore Bundle Brain 2Search and analyze Intent Solutions' governed team memory through the Registrar, returning qmd:// citations for supported claims. Use when checking recorded architecture, infrastructure, decisions, runbooks, or conventions. Trigger with "/brain", "ask the team brain", or "check the team knowledge base".
-
leandrodslv Bundle Learn 2Runs a six-phase research workflow that turns unfamiliar domains, source bundles, or collected material into publish-ready output. Use when users ask in any language to research, study, deep-dive, compile sources, synthesize unfamiliar material, or turn a source bundle into a coherent reference. Not for quick lookups or single-file reads.
-
maaarcooo Bundle Handoff 4Create a structured handoff document for seamless continuity across Claude conversations. Use when the user explicitly asks to create a handoff, handover, or session transfer document, or signals they want to stop now and continue this work in a future conversation. Trigger phrases include: "create a handoff", "handoff document", "handover", "save session", "continue later", "session handoff", "transfer context", "let's pick this up tomorrow", "save this so we can continue next time", or "/handoff". Do NOT trigger for general conversation summaries, meeting notes, or when the user simply asks "summarise this conversation" without handoff/continuity intent. Do NOT trigger when the user uploads an existing handoff document to resume from — handoff documents are self-contained and carry their own resumption instructions; this skill is for creating them only.
