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 Nature MedicineUse when targeting Nature Medicine or deciding whether a translational or clinical medicine 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 New PhytologistUse when targeting New Phytologist or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the integrative conceptual-advance and whole-plant/ecosystem-scale bar, evidence and data-deposition expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Orgsci RebuttalUse after an Organization Science R&R to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response letter, following the journal's codified author-response norms — verbatim italic quoting of each comment, no duplicated responses across reviewers, and a non-combative, non-effusive tone, while prioritizing the autonomous senior editor's concerns.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Orgsci WorkflowUse when deciding which orgsci-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an Organization Science manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Orgstud MethodsUse when choosing and justifying the research design for an Organization Studies (OS) manuscript — qualitative/ethnographic, process, historical, or quantitative — and setting the rigor bar OS reviewers expect. Designs the study; it does not run the analysis (see orgstud-data-analysis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Percom WorkflowUse when planning an IEEE PerCom project timeline from venue fit through paper registration, the September submission, the early-rejection gate, the bounded rebuttal, the IEEE Xplore camera-ready, and in-person presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a human-subjects sensing paper and honest handling of the single-annual-deadline cycle.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Physics ReportsUse when targeting Physics Reports (Phys Rep) or deciding whether a long, comprehensive invited review across any area of physics fits this Elsevier review journal (Physics Letters C heritage). Encodes the journal's fit, framing, evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pldi SubmissionUse when auditing a PLDI submission for HotCRP readiness — the single annual November deadline, the 20-pages-of-text-excluding-bibliography cap in single-column acmsmall format, double-blind hygiene across tool names and repositories, dual-submission rules, and summary-rejection triggers before the cutoff.
2 -
hashgraph-online Skill Pmuser Research用户研究方法,通过用户画像和用户旅程图,深入理解目标用户的特征、需求和行为
-
thedixitjain Skill Pods SubmissionUse when auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the chosen cycle's abstract-then-paper deadlines, the acmsmall[review,anonymous] format and 15-page budget, the at-submission proof appendix, lightweight double-anonymity, the declared conflicts of interest, PACMMOD-track publication, and desk-risk triage before the AoE cutoff.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ppsych WorkflowUse when deciding which ppsych-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a broad integrative review, theoretical statement, or meta-science piece from topic through revision for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) manuscript. Routes by lifecycle stage and contribution type; it dispatches and does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Recsys WorkflowUse when planning an ACM RecSys project timeline from venue fit through abstract, full paper, the anonymous repository, rebuttal, decision, ACM camera-ready, registration, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for an offline-evaluation recommender paper and per-track date awareness (Main, Reproducibility, Industry, Resource, R&P Notes).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill RepresentationsUse when targeting Representations or deciding whether a new-historicist or interdisciplinary cultural-analysis manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's new-historicism fit, the archive-driven argument bar, material-culture and contextual expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Research GrantsWrite competitive research proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC. Agency-specific formatting, review criteria, budget preparation, broader impacts, significance statements, innovation narratives, and compliance with submission requirements.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Research LookupCompile current scholarly evidence for a scientific manuscript or research brief. Use when the user explicitly asks to gather literature, references, background evidence, competing findings, or a manuscript research packet. Uses Parallel Search by default, Parallel Extract for source verification, Parallel Research for explicitly deep/exhaustive work, optional explicit Parallel Chat, and optional Perplexity only when requested or allowed as a failure fallback.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Research PolicyUse when targeting Research Policy or deciding whether an innovation-studies / science-technology-policy 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 Respol RebuttalUse when drafting the response to a Research Policy (RP) decision letter — converting double-blind referee and handling-editor comments into a point-by-point response and a revision plan that protects the innovation-studies contribution. Builds the response strategy; it is the terminal skill in the pack.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Respol WorkflowUse when deciding which respol-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for a Research Policy (RP) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sigmod WorkflowUse when planning a SIGMOD project calendar under the PACMMOD round system, covering round selection and hopping, backward planning from abstract and paper cutoffs, the feedback and revision windows, embargo-aware contingencies, and coordinating a systems-building team against quarterly deadlines.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Socs SubmissionUse for the pre-submission preflight to 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — checking in-text author-date citation (作者, 年: 页) plus end references (GB/T 7714, A–Z, 中外文分列), explanatory footnotes, abstract/keyword limits, the official online system (the journal's only channel), anonymity, and document hygiene. Verify every rule against the journal's current 投稿指南.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Amanthro WorkflowUse when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right AA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and section type (Research Article, Vital Topics Forum, World/Public/Multimodal Anthropologies, Review Essay). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Dac Writing StyleUse when drafting or tightening the prose of an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript, covering the QoR-forward first-page arc, stating the design-automation contribution as a measured delta, fitting a complete argument into six double-column pages plus a references-only page, building column-width EDA figures, and third-person self-citation for double-blind review.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Eer Writing StyleUse when revising prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — the abstract, introduction arc, research highlights, and Elsevier house conventions. Makes the general-interest idea land; it does not establish identification, theory, or exhibits.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fcr Writing StyleUse when drafting or polishing a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript so it reads for a general agronomy/crop-science audience, follows FCR structure, and meets the format expectations (abstract <=400 words, 3-5 highlights of <=85 characters, grammatically sound English, concise results, a discussion that interprets rather than repeats). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fse Writing StyleUse when revising an ESEC/FSE paper for a practitioner-grounded software-engineering contribution on the first page, research-question contracts, a threats-to-validity section that argues rather than recites, evidence proportional to the claim, double-anonymous wording, and disciplined use of the ACM-template page budget.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Hri Writing StyleUse when drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jar Writing StyleUse when polishing the prose of a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — a design-forward, economically literate style that states the question, setting, and identification early and reads like recent empirical-archival accounting papers. Polishes prose and house style; it does not build the contribution (jar-contribution-framing) or format exhibits (jar-tables-figures).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jel Writing StyleUse when revising a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey for the JEL voice — authoritative, accessible to non-specialist economists, long-form, signposted, with a strong opening and abstract. Polishes prose and structure; it does not design the framework (jel-organizing-framework) or assign codes (jel-classification-system).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jep Narrative ArcUse when structuring a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article as a story/argument for a general economist reader rather than a literature survey. Builds the essay's spine (hook → tension → synthesis → takeaways); it does not handle sentence-level voice or evidence presentation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jop Writing StyleUse when shaping prose, length, and formatting for a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. JOP counts pages, not words — Research Article <= 35 and Short Article <= 10, double-spaced 12-point, inclusive of notes, references, and exhibits — and follows the JOP Style Guide under double-blind review. Polishes and fits to length; it does not draft the substance.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Summarize MeetingSummarize a meeting transcript into structured notes with date, participants, topic, key decisions, summary points, and action items. Use when processing meeting recordings, creating meeting notes, writing meeting minutes, or recapping discussions.
2 -
hashgraph-online Skill Deepscan MonitorRun and monitor PapersFlow DeepScan jobs. Use when the user wants long-running research progress, intermediate findings, final reports, or plotting from a completed run.
-
thedixitjain Skill Dac SupplementaryUse when deciding what belongs inside the six reviewed pages of an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript versus in an external repository, given DAC's tight 6+1 budget, its references-only seventh page, the double-blind constraint on any linked material, and the absence of a formal reviewed-appendix or artifact-badging track.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Icsme Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a software-engineering project belongs at IEEE ICSME (maintenance, evolution, reverse engineering, program comprehension, technical debt, refactoring, mining software repositories) or should be routed to ICSE, FSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, SANER, SCAM, or an SE journal (TSE/EMSE), and when to use ICSME's Journal-First, Registered Reports, or RENE tracks instead of the research track.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Arecon Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a literature is an Annual Review of Economics (ARE)-scale review topic — mature, important, and genuinely in need of an authoritative, accessible synthesis — and framing the review's animating question. Decides fit; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas SubmissionUse when auditing an AAMAS main-track submission for OpenReview readiness, the 8-page-plus-references limit, the full-paper versus 2-page extended-abstract choice, double-blind anonymity, the supplementary zip cap, track fit across the AAAI/JAAMAS/Blue Sky tracks, dual-submission rules, and desk-reject triggers before upload.
