Research Claude Skills
2 269 research skills from 396 authors. They find sources and get you up to speed on unfamiliar ground. Half of them fit into 2 278 tokens or less — that is what one costs your context window when the agent loads it. 663 ship runnable scripts rather than instructions alone. 4 of them cannot work without an MCP server, most often rube. We also found 291 copies of these same skills sitting in other people's repositories — counted once here, not 291 times.

Systematic workflow for MoE training optimization in Megatron Bridge, based on the Megatron-Core MoE paper. Covers the Three Walls framework, parallel folding, recompute strategy, dispatcher choice, and CUDA-graph bring-up.
Autonomous NeMo-RL research agent workflow for directed hypothesis testing and open-ended discovery. Guides agents through the full experiment lifecycle: understanding recipes and environments, wiring RL or NeMo-gym runs, launching reproducible baselines and iterations, analyzing results, preserving human oversight, and using git plus TSV logs as the research ledger. Do NOT use for: bug fixes, code review, documentation, refactoring, dependency updates, or single-file changes.
Wire Commands, Agents, and Skills together for complex features. Use when building features that need research, planning, and implementation phases.
Compile a structured literature survey on any AI/ML topic. Agent curates a research bundle (taxonomy + sections + bibliography of real papers) from a public anchor resource, then a chosen LLM generates the survey artifact. Output target is a wiki page (markdown), not a one-off HTML — survey lands in `<wiki>/derived/surveys/<slug>.md` with full bibliography rows in `sources.md`. Provider-agnostic (Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter/Fireworks/custom OpenAI-compat). Use when the user asks for a "survey", "literature review", "lit review", or "deep dive" on a technical topic.
Start, structure, and grow a persistent research wiki indexed in pro-workflow's SQLite knowledge base. Each wiki is a folder of markdown pages with provenance, plus a shadow FTS5 index so any session can recall it. Use when the user says "start a wiki", "add to wiki", "compile a page", "wiki on X", or wants a long-lived knowledge base on a topic, paper, product, person, project, or codebase.
Query pro-workflow wikis via SQLite FTS5 BM25 retrieval. Returns top-K passages with citations. Use when answering a question that any of the user's wikis already covers, when the user says "what does the wiki say about X", "ask wiki", "search wikis", or before drafting a new wiki page (to avoid duplication).
Auto-grow a pro-workflow wiki by running a budget-capped BFS research loop over pluggable source fetchers (web, arXiv, GitHub). Each iteration pops a seed from the queue, fetches sources, drafts a wiki page, dedupes claims against existing pages, enqueues follow-up seeds. Halts on budget cap, depth cap, or convergence. Use when the user says "research <topic>", "grow the <slug> wiki", "auto-research", or wants a knowledge base that builds itself overnight.
Render a self-contained HTML viewer for a pro-workflow wiki. Pages, sources, claims, seed queue, page-link graph and full-text search all in one file. No external dependencies, no JS framework, S3-uploadable. Use when the user wants to browse a wiki visually, share its current state with someone, audit research progress, or hand off a knowledge base. Inspired by Thariq Shihipar's "Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" — favors information density and shareability over markdown-only outputs.
Transforms research findings into executive-ready briefings. Automatically activated when user mentions 'executive', 'briefing', 'C-suite', 'board', 'leadership', or 'presentation'.
Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Resolve bibliographic identifiers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, deduplicate references, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to verify citation information, convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.
Design experiments and quasi-experiments before analysis. Use when choosing study design, treatment/control structure, outcomes, assumptions, validation plans after scientific experiment failure, or which of DiD, ITS, synthetic control, or regression discontinuity fits the research question. For fitting models or estimating effects on existing data, use performing-causal-analysis instead.
Query FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) API for 800,000+ economic time series from 100+ sources. Access GDP, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, housing, and regional data. Use for macroeconomic analysis, financial research, policy studies, economic forecasting, and academic research requiring U.S. and international economic indicators.
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).
Generate comprehensive market research reports and industry/competitive analysis in the style of top consulting firms. Use for market sizing, competitive landscape, market entry, investment thesis, strategic recommendations, and consulting-style business reports. Do not use for scientific reports, paper writing, LaTeX submission/PDF builds, EDGAR/FRED/Treasury/Data Commons data retrieval, or biomedical literature evidence work.
Query and analyze scholarly literature using the OpenAlex database. This skill should be used when searching for academic papers, analyzing research trends, finding works by authors or institutions, tracking citations, discovering open access publications, or conducting bibliometric analysis across 240M+ scholarly works. Use for literature searches, research output analysis, citation analysis, and academic database queries.
Use when converting academic papers into dissemination assets such as Paper2Web websites, Paper2Video video abstracts, or Paper2Poster conference posters from LaTeX or PDF sources.
Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
Perform AI-powered web searches with real-time information using Perplexity models via LiteLLM and OpenRouter. This skill should be used when conducting web searches for current information, finding recent scientific literature, getting grounded answers with source citations, or accessing information beyond the model knowledge cutoff. Provides access to multiple Perplexity models including Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search (advanced agentic search), and Sonar Reasoning Pro through a single OpenRouter API key.
Direct REST API access to PubMed. Advanced Boolean/MeSH queries, E-utilities API, batch processing, citation management. For Python workflows, prefer biopython (Bio.Entrez). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or custom API implementations.
> Prowler documentation style guide and writing standards.
Write 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.
Systematically evaluate scholarly work using the ScholarEval framework, providing structured assessment across research quality dimensions including problem formulation, methodology, analysis, and writing with quantitative scoring and actionable feedback.
Open-ended scientific ideation partner. Use for research gaps, mechanism exploration, interdisciplinary connections, assumptions, possible research directions, and lightweight literature matrix or A+B paper-combination idea mapping. For structured testable hypotheses and validation plans, use hypothesis-generation instead.
Build slide decks and presentations for research talks. Use this for making PowerPoint slides, conference presentations, seminar talks, research presentations, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design templates, timing guidance, and visual validation. Works with PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer.
Generate concise (3-4 page), focused medical treatment plans in LaTeX/PDF format for all clinical specialties. Supports general medical treatment, rehabilitation therapy, mental health care, chronic disease management, perioperative care, and pain management. Includes SMART goal frameworks, evidence-based interventions with minimal text citations, regulatory compliance (HIPAA), and professional formatting. Prioritizes brevity and clinical actionability.

Not for finding specific creators to contract — use influencer-discovery; not for scoring a shortlist on Suitability — use fit-scorer. 目标受众画像/人群分析 · 细分社群/亚文化调研
Use when the user asks to "optimize entity presence", reconcile an entity identity, or update canonical Knowledge Graph facts; audits and maintains machine-facing identity, sameAs, schema, disambiguation, and AI-recognition evidence through the entities registry. Not for page-level AI-citation readiness - use geo-content-optimizer; not for human-facing brand canon - use narrative-registry. 实体注册/知识图谱
Use when auditing domain authority, trust, or citation credibility; runs a peer-relative 40-item CITE profile with evidence coverage and verified manipulation/penalty veto checks. Not for page-level content quality — use content-quality-auditor; not for backlink profiling alone — use offsite-signal-analyzer. 域名权威/网站可信度

A friendly, hand-drawn sketch interface inspired by pencil illustrations on warm cream paper. Soft teal brand accents, hand-written display headings, rounded pill controls.
Discuss a domain with the user, research it from real sources, then generate a trusted skill bundle for it - a step-by-step workflow with a flowchart, a domain adapter, a trap fixture, and a smoke eval. Use when the user says "/fable-domain <sector>", "make a skill for <domain>", "add a domain to the fable method", or "give a lesser model Fable's workflow for <domain>". The bundle is the deliverable; a workflow without its flowchart, sources, and trap is not done.
Search papers across arXiv, DBLP, OpenAlex, OpenReview, Semantic Scholar, and Crossref for a given query and year range, using ./scripts/search_papers.py. Use when the user asks to find papers, related work, prior art, or recent publications on a specific topic, especially when they mention a date range or specific venues like NeurIPS, ICLR, or ICML.
Check whether a proposed research novelty (given a problem statement and claimed idea/novelty) overlaps with existing published work. TRIGGER when the user asks to verify research novelty, check if an idea is new, compare a proposed contribution to prior art, do a literature/prior-art search for a specific claim, or assess whether a paper idea has been scooped. DO NOT TRIGGER for general literature reviews unrelated to a specific novelty claim, or for writing related-work sections of an already-validated idea.
Extract a research paper PDF into a structured set of poster-agnostic assets reusable by any downstream renderer (paper2poster, paper2blog, paper2audio, paper2video). Produces a `<outdir>/` containing the paper's full text (assets/meta/text.txt), per-figure captions (assets/meta/captions.json), cleaned figure rasters (assets/figures/*.png + assets/meta/figures.json manifest), paper metadata (assets/meta/metadata.json: title / authors / institutes / venue / paper_url / code_url), institute logos (assets/logos/*), URL QR codes (assets/qr/*), and a 9-section structured paper summary (assets/meta/paper_spec.md). The bundle follows the Output Contract layout (deliverables at top, everything else under `assets/`). Use when the user wants to extract paper content into reusable assets, OR as the mandatory upstream stage of any paper-rendering pipeline — e.g., "extract this paper", "build paper assets", "get the figures and spec from this PDF", "paper2assets".
