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.
-
thedixitjain Skill Jpam WorkflowUse when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpsp RebuttalUse when responding to a Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) decision — revise-and-resubmit or accept-with-revision — across a section editor and multiple masked reviewers, deciding when a concern needs new analyses, an internal-meta-analysis update, or new studies. Guides response strategy; it does not fabricate results or write the paper.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpsp WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) manuscript. Routes to the right JPSP sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and — first of all — which of the three independently edited sections (ASC, IRGP, PPID) fits the paper. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jqte RebuttalUse when responding to peer-review / R&R comments on a 《数量经济技术经济研究》 (JQTE) manuscript — structuring a point-by-point response letter that addresses the journal's characteristic concerns (method transparency, measurement / parameter sensitivity, out-of-sample evaluation, CGE/IO reproducibility, data caliber) and reframing weak-causal pushback toward the paper's real measurement contribution. Use only after the manuscript itself is revised.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Lancet EthicsUse to satisfy The Lancet's clinical-ethics and research-integrity requirements — ethics-committee approval and informed consent under the Declaration of Helsinki, the Declaration of interests, ICMJE author contributions, the role-of-the-funding-source statement, the data-sharing statement, patient and public involvement, and SAGER sex/gender plus equity reporting.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Market SizingEstimate market size using TAM, SAM, and SOM with top-down and bottom-up approaches. Use when sizing a market opportunity, estimating addressable market, preparing for investor pitches, or evaluating market entry.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mgsci MethodsUse when choosing and defending the method for a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript — selecting an analytical modeling approach (optimization, stochastic, game/economic theory) or an empirical design (econometric identification, lab/field experiment, structural, data science) that matches the question and the Department's standards. It designs; it does not execute the analysis (mgsci-data-analysis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mind WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Mind (philosophy journal) article. Routes to the right Mind sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the piece is an article, discussion note, book review, or critical notice. Mind is analytic philosophy — argument, not data — so the router's first job is to confirm there is a sharp thesis and a sound argument. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mis QuarterlyUse when targeting MIS Quarterly (MISQ) or deciding whether an information-systems behavioral / design-science / economics-of-IS manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Misq WorkflowUse when deciding which misq-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through revision for a MIS Quarterly (MISQ) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it first helps you name which of the four IS research traditions (behavioral, design science, economics, organizational) your paper lives in.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mw Submission用于《管理世界》投稿前的最终 preflight 检查,规避因形式问题在初审被技术性退稿。Use when "明天就要投了"、点提交按钮前做最后核对、不确定投稿系统需要哪些附件、或担心双盲与查重不合规时使用。锚定《管理世界》国务院发展研究中心主办、规范实证大刊的投稿要求,覆盖格式、字数、双盲(致谢/基金单独提交、自引去身份化)、中英文参考文献规范、知网查重、研究类型勾选、作者信息与补充材料的逐项检查,具体阈值以编辑部最新稿约为准。 本技能服务于《管理世界》(Management World, MW)。
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nature EnergyUse when targeting Nature Energy or deciding whether an energy research manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nature PlantsUse when targeting Nature Plants or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad-significance and Nature-framing bar, evidence and reproducibility expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nejm CitationUse to convert references to NEJM's Vancouver / ICMJE numbered style — numbered in order of appearance, limited author lists then et al., NLM journal abbreviations, and a capped reference count. Late-stage style pass.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nejm WorkflowUse when deciding which nejm-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical manuscript from significance test through response to reviewers for The New England Journal of Medicine. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Plos MedicineUse when targeting PLOS Medicine or deciding whether a medicine or public-health manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pnas AbstractUse to write the PNAS abstract — a single self-contained paragraph of ~250 words, quantified and accessible to a broad scientific audience. Distinguishes the abstract (what/how/found, for scientists) from the Significance Statement (why-it-matters, for everyone). Late-stage polish.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pnasnexus FitUse before any writing — as the first gate — to stress-test whether a result fits PNAS Nexus — high-quality, broadly significant, multidisciplinary research across biological/health/medical, physical sciences & engineering, and social & political sciences — and to make the realistic call between PNAS Nexus, flagship PNAS, and a field journal, including the PNAS-to-PNAS-Nexus transfer route.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pods WorkflowUse when planning an ACM PODS project timeline across its multiple submission cycles per year, from venue fit through the EasyChair abstract-then-paper deadlines, the 48-hour rebuttal, the accept/reject/revision decision and shepherded revision round, PACMMOD-track publication, the arXiv full version, and presentation — with backward-planning offsets for a theory paper and honest handling of cycle choice.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Prl Scope FitUse when deciding whether a physics result clears Physical Review Letters' importance-and-broad-interest gate, or whether it belongs in Physical Review A–E / PR Research. Diagnoses venue fit; does not write or frame the result.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Psci RebuttalUse when writing the response to a Psychological Science revise-and-resubmit. Reviews here often demand added robustness, fuller disclosure, or stronger transparency, so the response must address every point and strengthen credibility without breaking the tight format. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Rural EconomyUse when targeting 《农村经济》(Rural Economy — 四川省社会科学院主办的农村经济综合月刊, 1983 年创刊, CN51-1029/F, ncjj.alljournal.cn 在线投稿, 摘要≤150字+顺序编码参考文献) or deciding whether a Chinese 三农/农村经济 manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Socs WorkflowUse when deciding which socs-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from problematic framing through rebuttal for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies). Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills, and re-routes off-discipline drafts to other journal packs.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill User PersonasCreate refined user personas from research data — 3 personas with JTBD, pains, gains, and unexpected insights. Use when building personas from survey data, creating user profiles from research, or segmenting users for product decisions.
2 -
rsmdt Bundle User ResearchUser research and insight synthesis for interviews, usability testing, personas, journey mapping, and actionable product/design recommendations. Use when planning studies, collecting evidence, synthesizing patterns, or converting findings into prioritized decisions.
-
thedixitjain Skill Vldb WorkflowUse when planning a VLDB project on the PVLDB rolling calendar, covering month-picking strategy, the volume-to-conference mapping and acceptance cutoff, budgeting a possible three-month revision, coordinating author caps across a group, and backward planning from the 25th-abstract / 1st-paper rhythm.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wsdm WorkflowUse when planning the calendar for a WSDM submission - the single annual cycle from August abstract and paper deadlines through October notification to the February conference, backward milestone planning, the September short-paper fallback, alternate entrances (demos, WSDM Cup, doctoral consortium), and coordination with sibling-venue deadlines.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Amann Tables FiguresUse when building exhibits for an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — the signature framework figure, who-studied-what synthesis tables, and search/coverage exhibits that summarize across a literature. Designs review exhibits; it does not produce original-estimate regression tables (an Annals review reports no new data of its own).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Icde Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a project is a strong IEEE ICDE fit, routing among the three database venues from ICDE's seat (SIGMOD's quarterly rounds vs PVLDB's monthly deadlines vs ICDE's two rounds), choosing ICDE research vs industry track, applying the data-management-primitive test, and comparing with TKDE, EDBT, or systems venues.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Misq Topic SelectionUse when shaping or stress-testing a research question for MIS Quarterly — confirming it is a genuine information-systems question, naming which of the four IS traditions (behavioral, design science, economics, organizational) it lives in, and choosing the matching manuscript category before any data are collected or any artifact is built.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Msom Topic SelectionUse when shaping or stress-testing a research question for Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) — confirming an operations decision is central, choosing the analytical-vs-empirical lane, and matching the question to the right editorial Department before any modeling or data work begins.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nsdi Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a project belongs at NSDI, picking among its research, operational-systems, and frontiers tracks, or re-routing to SIGCOMM, OSDI, SOSP, FAST, or SIGMETRICS — testing the networking-stack contribution, the CFP's out-of-scope lines, and which of the two yearly deadlines to aim at.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Osdi Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a systems project fits OSDI, choosing between its Research and Operational Systems tracks, or routing the work to SOSP, NSDI, FAST, EuroSys, or the post-USENIX ATC instead — applying the built-and-measured test before a December deadline is spent on a misfit.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pmla Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a literary or language-studies project fits PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) and which venue to target. PMLA is the discipline's generalist flagship, so the test is interest to scholars and teachers of language and literature broadly, not narrow specialist novelty. Helps frame the question; it does not gather sources.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Conbio WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Conservation Biology manuscript. Routes to the right conbio sub-skill based on where you are in the science lifecycle and which article type (Contributed Paper, Research Note, Review, Essay, Conservation Practice and Policy, Comment) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
