Outputs plain-language reasoning, ranked research priorities, evidence chains, risks, and next verification steps. Research support only; no trade execution.

| Company discovery and deep research skill. Researches a company's product and ICP, discovers target companies to sell to using Browserbase Search API, deeply researches each using a Plan→Research→Synthesize pattern, and scores ICP fit — compiled into a scored research report and CSV. Supports depth modes (quick/deep/deeper) for balancing scale vs intelligence. customers, (3) discover companies matching an ICP, (4) build a target company list, "company research", "find prospects", "ICP research", "target companies", "who should we sell to", "market research", "lead research", "prospect list".

| Event prospecting skill. Takes a conference / event speakers URL, extracts the people, filters their companies against the user's ICP, then deep-researches only the speakers at ICP-fit companies. Outputs a person-first HTML report where each card answers "why should the AE talk to this person?" with all public links and a one-click DM opener. conference, (2) prep for an event, (3) research event speakers, (4) build a target list from a sponsor/exhibitor page, (5) scrape conference speakers and rank by ICP fit. "prospect this conference", "stripe sessions leads", "ai engineer summit prospects", "event prospecting", "scrape conference speakers", "who should I meet at".

Use this skill to verify CLAIM-LEVEL grounding of a documentation page (or set of pages) against the source code. Activate when you have specific pages to check for factual accuracy -- not when sweeping a whole corpus (use docs-corpus-audit for that) and not when triaging a PR diff (use docs-sync for that). Trigger nouns: "is this doc accurate", "verify the page against the code", "fact-check this section", "any claims that drifted from source", "fact-checking", "grounding audit", "drift hunt", "claim verification". Returns per-claim verdicts (GROUNDED | PARTIAL | CONTRADICTED | UNSUPPORTED) with file:line evidence citations. Catches paragraph-level inaccuracies that page-level audit averages over -- e.g. a paragraph with 5 claims where 4 are grounded and 1 is fabricated. Does NOT modify files (returns advisory only); does NOT re-architect the docs; does NOT triage PRs.

> Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — make content rank in AI search answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Audits existing content, rewrites for AI citation, and produces per-engine strategy. Use when asked to "optimize for AI search", "rank in ChatGPT", "GEO audit", "improve AI citations", "rank in Perplexity", "AI Overview optimization", "AI Overview ranking", "LLM SEO", "answer engine optimization", "AEO", "get cited by AI", "GEO", "generative engine optimization", "show up in ChatGPT", "appear in AI answers", "be cited by Perplexity", "SGE optimization", "Search Generative Experience", or "make my content show up in AI answers". Distinct from regular SEO — this targets generative engines, not traditional Google rankings.

Hunt Host Header Injection — password reset poisoning → ATO, web cache poisoning via unkeyed Host/X-Forwarded-Host, routing-based SSRF (Host picks upstream → cloud metadata/internal services), path-override SSRF/ACL-bypass (X-Original-URL/X-Rewrite-URL), OAuth redirect_uri/issuer poisoning, and absolute-URL link poisoning in emails. High to Critical when it reaches ATO or mass cache poisoning. Built on public Host-header research (PortSwigger 'Practical web cache poisoning' + James Kettle, and the classic password-reset-poisoning class). Use on any forgot-password flow, CDN/reverse-proxy-fronted app, OAuth/OIDC endpoint, or absolute-URL-in-email feature.

Investigate a topic against preserved sources and write a provisional research article under `research/` in a Knowledge Base project (the `knowledge-base` starter pack). Read when asked to research a topic, compare options, synthesize sources, gather evidence, or extend an existing research doc. Carries the full procedure: scan existing coverage, agree a research rubric, capture every source verbatim before analyzing, write the article incrementally so a crash never loses work, cite every claim, and link it back into the graph. Does not promote findings to canonical knowledge — that is the sibling `consolidate` skill, after a decision lands.

> Use this skill whenever the user wants to evaluate a startup, assess whether to invest in or join a startup, do due diligence, evaluate a job offer from a startup, understand a startup's competitive position, or assess company health and trajectory. "evaluate [company]", "due diligence on [company]", "what do you think of [startup]", "should I take this startup job offer", "how healthy is [company]", "startup assessment", "company analysis", "is [company] worth joining", "what's the outlook for [company]", "research [company] for me", any mention of evaluating or assessing a startup or tech company from investment, career, or strategic perspectives — provide all three perspectives by default.

Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-research [topic]", "research X", "find everything about Y", "do a deep dive on Z", "autonomous research on X", or wants comprehensive, web-sourced knowledge on a topic filed directly into their wiki.

The complete two-phase Init Mode protocol the Squad coordinator runs when no team exists yet in the current repo. Phase 1 = propose the team (no files created, wait for user confirm). Phase 2 = create .squad/ scaffolding, casting state, .gitattributes for merge drivers, and the always-on built-ins (Scribe, Ralph, Rai, Fact Checker). Loaded on demand when the coordinator detects no .squad/team.md exists.

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).
