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 Bundle Inbox SetupOne-time setup skill that builds a personalized inbox triage knowledge base via interactive interview.

Run this once before using inbox-triage for the first time. Re-run when business, pricing, or priorities change significantly. Triggers: 'set up my inbox', 'configure inbox triage', 'set up my email system', 'configure email triage', 'build my email knowledge base', 'initialize email management', 'set up inbox triage', 'onboard email triage', or any variation where someone wants to get the email triage system running for the first time.
