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.
-
jakeschincariol Skill Weaponized AutismObsessive-detail mode that reads every relevant file, checks every edge case, questions every assumption, and chases every dependency before answering; slower on purpose and far harder to fool — invoke via /weaponized-autism when a confident-but-wrong answer would be expensive, e.g. deep debugging, auditing, or high-stakes research.
-
panxy1019 Bundle Memory ManagerCapture, update, and retrieve durable project memory for coding work. Use when the user asks to remember project facts, preserve decisions, create reusable context, manage memory across accounts or machines, maintain MEMORY.md/DECISIONS.md/AGENTS.md, or summarize lessons from a completed task for future Codex sessions.
-
deedeeharris Skill Websearch MultilangUse when the task is to FIND ideas, solutions, root causes, workarounds, prior art, or benchmarks ONLINE — researching a problem/idea/solution on the web — NOT a simple single-doc API lookup. Searches across MANY languages in parallel: spawns one research subagent per language (English, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, French, Russian, Hebrew, Spanish), each searching native technical terms and native forums, then synthesizes. Triggers: "research this", "search online for", "find a solution/idea/approach", "how do people solve", "is there prior art", "find workarounds", "deep multilingual web research".
-
ai-agent-lead Bundle InvestigateUse when the user asks for investigation, research, a proposal, or "options" before any code lands; or proactively for non-trivial structural decisions (new dependency, framework choice, API contract change, cross-cutting refactor). Triggered by phrases like "investigate X", "research Y", "give me a proposal", "what are our options", "how would we approach", "let's explore", "should we...". Produces a durable research note in `docs/research/<topic>.md`. Skip for tasks where one obvious approach exists (typo fixes, config tweaks, mechanical refactors). Pairs with `feature-doc` (captures *what* we're building once a direction is chosen) and `grill-plan` (stress-tests a chosen plan).

Emphasize explicit scope, systematic source intake, claim-level provenance, critical appraisal, contradictory and negative evidence, calibrated conclusions, and reproducible outputs.
