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 264 copies of these same skills sitting in other people's repositories — counted once here, not 264 times.

>- Generate ONE reviewer-defensible, implementable research idea with a concrete method and falsification plan from a stated research direction. Use when the user asks for a research idea, novelty analysis, bottleneck diagnosis, or paper-shape suggestion. Skip code review, debugging, and unconstrained brainstorming without research context.
Score the QUALITY of a research idea at the idea stage — given a Markdown file with Title / Motivation / Method sections (no experiments needed), produce a per-axis quality assessment with cited evidence and an overall 0–100 score plus a verdict; or, given two such idea files, a blind head-to-head comparison. TRIGGER when the user asks "how good is this idea", "rate / score / grade this research idea or proposal", "review my idea .md before I write it up", "is this contribution strong enough to pursue", "which of these two idea files is stronger", or hands over an idea Markdown file (Title/Motivation/Method) and wants a quality judgment. Use this even when the user does not say the word "score" but clearly wants an assessment of how strong an idea is. DO NOT trigger for prior-art / overlap / "is this novel vs existing work" checks (that is a literature-collision task), for full reviews of finished papers that already have results, or for generating the idea itself.
Render a pre-extracted paper's structured 9-section spec (`paper_spec.md`) into a single-page HTML academic poster, fit the layout to the page via an iterative measured-fill loop, and export it to print-ready PDF + PNG thumbnail. Requires the upstream `paper2assets` skill to have produced the input `<outdir>/` package (`manifest.json` at the root + an `assets/` folder holding `meta/paper_spec.md`, `meta/text.txt`, `meta/figures.json`, `meta/metadata.json`, `figures/*.png`, `logos/`, `qr/`) first. Use when the user wants an HTML poster, PDF/PNG export, or PPTX from a paper they already have extracted assets for — e.g., "render the poster", "make the poster from this spec", "export poster to PDF", "paper2poster". The three skills paper2assets → paper2poster → html2pptx run in sequence, each invokable on its own.
Use when transforming an academic paper, arXiv/OpenReview PDF, conference paper, technical report, poster, slide deck, repository README, or related research materials into a bilingual editorial package for an editing team. Produces two articles by default — a Chinese WeChat public-account version (`blog_zh.docx`) and an English research-blog version (`blog_en.docx`). Use for drafting, revising, or packaging article copy, figure placement, captions, image prompts, and the final `.docx` deliverables.
> Turn a research paper, a paper2assets package, or an existing PPT deck into a narrated MP4 video. Prefer the shared paper2assets package when present so paper2poster, paper2blog, paper2slides, and paper2video use the same section order and narration. Preserve the advanced deck route by delegating slide authoring to the external `hugohe3/ppt-master` project, then synthesize audio with `skills/paper2poster/scripts/generate_audio.py`, render with `skills/paper2video/scripts/render_video.py`, and burn final subtitles with `skills/paper2video/scripts/add_subtitles.py`.
Workshop coach for the Research Desk (SEC agents) workshop. Use when the user types /workshop, asks for a workshop act or module ("act 2", "next act", "where am I"), wants a TODO(workshop-N) implemented or explained, or asks for help following WORKSHOP.md.

Generate a FigJam project plan board from a PRD plus codebase context. Interactive flow: research → propose sections → per-section deep research → per-section content + block-shape proposal → create FigJam → skeleton → fill → diagrams → wrap. Each content block (section, nested section, intro callout, table, multi-column text, sticky column, diagram section, metadata strip) has its own subskill reference file. Use when the user asks for 'project plan in FigJam', 'interactive project plan', '/generate-project-plan', or provides a PRD and wants per-section confirmation on content + rendering.
Build a weekly cadence of customer touchpoints using Opportunity Solution Trees, assumption mapping, and interview snapshots. Use when the user mentions "continuous discovery", "opportunity solution tree", "weekly interviews", "assumption testing", "discovery habits", "product trio", "outcome-based roadmap", "how do I talk to customers regularly", "we keep building things nobody uses", or "connect research to the roadmap". Also trigger when setting up regular customer feedback loops, prioritizing which experiments to run, or tying discovery insights to delivery work. Covers experience mapping, co-creation, and prioritizing opportunities. For interview technique, see mom-test. For team structure, see inspired-product.
Apply lean thinking to UX: hypothesis-driven design, collaborative sketching, and rapid experiments instead of heavy deliverables. Use when the user mentions "Lean UX", "design hypothesis", "outcome over output", "design studio method", "assumption mapping", "lightweight research", "too much design documentation", or "get the team designing together". Also trigger when reducing design-documentation overhead, getting cross-functional teams to co-design, or running fast usability experiments. Covers hypothesis statements, MVPs for UX, and cross-functional collaboration. For Build-Measure-Learn, see lean-startup. For usability audits, see ux-heuristics.
