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.

kirillklem Bundle Post Research To PlanConvert completed research, option analysis, or architecture work into an execution-ready implementation plan. Trigger when the user wants to move from research to delivery, including phrases like "сделай план внедрения", "переведи ресёрч в план", "что делать дальше", "разложи это на этапы реализации", "из этого нужен план", or similar. Start from what is already known, separate proven conclusions from open hypotheses, identify the cheapest first experiments, decide where spike or POC is necessary, and build a phased implementation plan with the right validation depth at each stage. Keep the plan minimal and evidence-aware: do not pretend that uncertain parts are solved, and do not propose heavy validation where lightweight checks are enough. Do not use for raw research analysis, architecture option comparison, or generic milestone planning with no prior technical investigation.
