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.

kbanc85 Bundle Research 2Deep research on a topic with web sources, memory integration, and stored findings. Also handles quick context-aware lookups when current information would improve the conversation. Triggers on "research this", "look into", "find out about", "dig into", "look up", "what's new with", "check current", "any updates on", "latest info".
-
kbanc85 Bundle Auto Research 2Iteratively improve a local artifact (draft, document, page) by running a hill-climbing loop. The user names the artifact, the evaluator, and the budget. Claudia edits the artifact, scores it, keeps it if better or reverts if worse, repeats. Use when user says "iterate on this", "loop on this until it's better", "run experiments on this draft", "auto-research this", "make this better and don't stop until it's good". Workspace-scoped, never touches live files, no external actions during the loop.

-
fabioc-aloha Skill Anti Hallucination 4Prevent fabricated facts, invented APIs, and citation confabulation at the point of generation. Use when generating factual claims, code examples, API references, library names, configuration values, error messages, or citations — anything where 'sounds plausible' is not the same as 'is real'.
