Cody Article Writer: Research-backed article writing workflow with customizable style guides and citations. Use when the user wants to write articles, blog posts, or long-form content with optional web research and source citations. Handles the full workflow: topic ideation with exploratory research, comprehensive research planning, thesis development, outlining, section-by-section writing with citations, article metadata generation, and markdown export. Also handles style guide management including commands like "list writing styles", "create a new article style", "edit my writing style", "delete style", "show my drafts", "continue my article", or "show my articles".
brainstorm
by Aedelon
Multi-agent brainstorming and strategic thinking on any complex topic. Explores the subject deeply, then spawns specialized sub-agents in parallel for diverse expert perspectives. MUST BE USED PROACTIVELY when user faces any decision, architectural choice, design question, strategic dilemma, or open-ended problem that benefits from multiple viewpoints. Triggers: "brainstorm", "explore ideas", "what are the options", "how should I approach", "pros and cons", "compare approaches", "what do you think about", "best way to", "should I use X or Y", "what's the best approach", "help me decide", "trade-offs", "alternatives", "strategy for", "how would you", "what's your take", "opinions on", "which one", "recommend", "suggest", "ideas for", "possibilities", "ways to", "what direction", "where to start", "what's better".
research-protocol
by Aedelon
Conduct rigorous research with proper citations (DOI, arXiv, PMID) and source triangulation. MUST BE USED when user asks: "what is SOTA", "recent developments", "compare X vs Y", "is it true that", "research says", "latest papers on", "scientific evidence", "studies show", "state of the art", "literature review", "find papers", "academic research", "benchmark results", "who published", "when was X released", "current best", "what does the research say", "evidence for", "peer reviewed". Searches multiple sources, evaluates reliability, states confidence level. NOT for verifying API signatures (use anti-hallucination) or general web search (use WebSearch directly).
codebase-research
by alchemiststudiosDOTai
This skill should be used when mapping or researching a codebase to understand its structure, patterns, and architecture. Use when the user asks to "map the codebase", "research how X works", "find all Y patterns", or needs to understand code organization. Produces factual structural maps in memory-bank/research/—no suggestions, no recommendations, just what exists. Uses ast-grep for structural pattern matching.
research
by HJewkes
Use when the user asks to research a topic, investigate options, compare technologies, analyze a problem space, or gather information before making a decision — for both coding and non-coding work
arxiv
by magnusthovsland
"Search arXiv papers by keyword, author, category, or ID."
evidence-research
by krishanraja
Decision-grade research and due diligence for Krish. Use when asked to investigate, research, compare, verify, diligence, map a market, evaluate evidence, establish current truth, or produce a sourced recommendation; when claims are recent, disputed, niche, costly, or consequential; and when strategy depends on external facts. Do not use for a simple stable fact with one authoritative source or as a substitute for execution. Frame the decision first, prefer primary evidence, preserve contradictions and dates, separate fact from inference, and hand a claim-evidence matrix to strategy and verification.
ocr-and-documents
by magnusthovsland
"Extract text from PDFs/scans (pymupdf, marker-pdf)."
vault-evidence-review
by itzikiusa
Review Otto Vault repository documentation specifically for citation precision, claim-to-source support, source hierarchy, invented examples, stale contradictions, coverage-status evidence, and honest uncertainty. Use as a focused post-scan reviewer; do not author or repair docs.
Finding Open Access Papers
by kthorn
Use Unpaywall API to find free full-text versions of paywalled papers
Subagent-Driven Literature Review
by kthorn
Use parallel subagents for large-scale paper screening and deep dive analysis
Getting Started with Research Superpowers
by kthorn
Introduction to literature search & review skills - systematic paper finding, screening, extraction, and citation traversal
Traversing Citation Networks
by kthorn
Smart backward and forward citation following via Semantic Scholar, with relevance filtering and deduplication
Evaluating Paper Relevance
by kthorn
Two-stage paper screening - abstract scoring then deep dive for specific data extraction
Building Paper Screening Rubrics
by kthorn
Collaboratively build and refine paper screening rubrics through brainstorming, test-driven development, and iterative feedback
Answering Research Questions
by kthorn
Main orchestration workflow for systematic literature research - search, evaluate, traverse, synthesize
Cleaning Up Research Sessions
by kthorn
Safely remove intermediate files from completed research sessions while preserving important data
scholar-deep-research
by Agents365-ai
Use when the user asks for a literature review, academic deep dive, research report, state-of-the-art survey, topic scoping, comparative analysis of methods/papers, grant background, or any request that needs multi-source scholarly evidence with citations. Also trigger proactively when a user question clearly requires academic grounding (e.g. "what's known about X", "compare approach A vs B in the literature", "summarize the field of Y"). Runs an 8-phase (Phase 0..7), script-driven research workflow across 7 federated sources (OpenAlex, arXiv, Crossref, PubMed, DBLP, bioRxiv, Exa) with optional Semantic Scholar / Brave MCP enrichment, with deduplication, transparent ranking, dual-backend citation chasing (OpenAlex + Semantic Scholar), self-critique, and structured report output with verifiable citations.
not-ai-writer
by DimitriGilbert
Expert guide for creating authentic, human-sounding content that avoids AI-generated writing patterns. Use when reviewing, editing, or creating content to ensure it sounds genuinely human and avoids AI detection markers.
brainstorming-research-ideas
by L-yifan
Guides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions. Use when exploring new problem spaces, pivoting between projects, or seeking novel angles on existing work.
the-council
by DimitriGilbert
Expert council facilitation for complex decision-making. Use when you need multiple specialist perspectives on a subject, requiring thorough analysis, research-backed opinions, and structured deliberation to reach consensus or properly present diverging views.
creative-thinking-for-research
by L-yifan
Applies cognitive science frameworks for creative thinking to CS and AI research ideation. Use when seeking genuinely novel research directions by leveraging combinatorial creativity, analogical reasoning, constraint manipulation, and other empirically grounded creative strategies.
dialectical-reasoning
by kimasplund
Thesis-antithesis-synthesis reasoning for navigating genuine trade-offs and conflicting requirements. Use when opposing forces are both valid, binary choices are false, or stakeholder conflicts need resolution. Unlike ToT (picks winner), DR synthesizes opposites. Example: "Centralized vs decentralized architecture" → Neither is "right"; find synthesis that captures benefits of both.
Bankr Agent - Market Research
by BankrBot
This skill should be used when the user asks about "token price", "market data", "technical analysis", "sentiment", "trending tokens", "price chart", "market cap", "token research", "what's the price of", "analyze token", or any market research query. Provides guidance on token research, analysis, and market intelligence.
