Force adversarial code review stance that eliminates confirmation bias — reviewer must find issues or re-analyze

Systematic heuristic approach to solving mathematical and logical problems through four-phase framework (understanding, planning, executing, reviewing). For problems requiring invention and discovery. NOT for rote calculation or memorized procedures.

Research methodology for formulating problems readers care about, constructing evidence-based arguments, and writing credible academic work. NOT for journalistic reporting or creative writing.

Analyze complex systems through stocks, flows, and feedback loops to find high-leverage interventions. For organizational, environmental, social, and technical systems exhibiting circular causality.

Systematic research methodology for formulating problems, building evidence-based arguments, and communicating findings in academic contexts. For scholarly writing, thesis development, and

'Multidisciplinary decision-making using mental models from psychology, economics, mathematics, and science to identify high-conviction opportunities and avoid cognitive biases. Keywords: latticework,

Reverse-engineers your manager from pasted comms — an email thread, Slack history, or a described situation — to show what they actually want, how to manage up, and where the politics sit. Two tiers: a fast anonymised read on what you paste, or an opt-in deep dossier adding public research on the named boss. Gottman communication analysis plus Munger misjudgment inversion. Activate on 'decode my boss', 'boss whisperer', 'how do I manage up', 'what does my boss actually want', or pasted workpl...

Generates a weekly academic literature report based on keywords using PubMed. Use when the user wants to track recent research progress on a specific topic, automatically retrieving, classifying, and summarizing relevant papers from the last 7 days.

Entry point for the investigation toolkit. Routes to the right investigation skill based on what you're trying to establish. Use when you say 'investigate', 'verify this', 'check this claim', 'where does this come from', 'is this true', 'trace the source', 'stress-test this belief', 'what's the evidence', 'could something else explain this', or want to know whether something you've heard is actually true.

Verifies a claim across genuinely independent sources, distinguishing amplification from true corroboration. Use when you want to know if multiple sources actually confirm something — 'can I verify this from multiple angles', 'do independent sources agree', 'is this confirmed by more than one source', 'are these sources actually independent', 'how well-corroborated is this claim'.

Traces a claim back to its origin: who first made it, what evidence it rested on, and how it has been distorted in transmission. Use when you've heard something and want to know where it actually came from — 'where does this claim come from', 'who first said this', 'I've heard that X is true', 'trace the source', 'is this just a rumor', 'how did this become conventional wisdom'.

Evaluates the quality, strength, and completeness of evidence for a claim. Covers evidence type hierarchy, sample quality, methodological soundness, conflicts of interest, and what's notably absent. Use when you want to know how good the evidence is — 'is this evidence strong', 'evaluate the research', 'how solid is this', 'is this just one study', 'what kind of evidence supports this', 'what's missing from the evidence'.

Structures the feedback loop between making and learning — prototyping, testing, and convergence toward fit. Triggers: 'prototype and test', 'iterate on the design', 'how do we test this', 'get feedback on the design', 'what should we prototype', 'design feedback loop', 'test and learn', 'are we converging'.

Verify academic references and bibliographies for citation errors and AI hallucinations using live database APIs (OpenAlex, OpenAIRE, K10plus, lobid, DNB, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, ZBW EconBiz, Open Library, arXiv, Library of Congress, GESIS). Trigger whenever a user wants to check, verify, or validate ANY bibliography, reference list, or Literaturverzeichnis — their own or someone else's (a student's thesis, a colleague's paper, an AI-generated draft). Trigger on phrasings like "prüfe mein...

Write conference/journal author-response rebuttals that clarify and convince, following Parikh–Batra–Lee's "How we write rebuttals" method (two-audience mindset, itemize→brain-dump→draft→revise, 18 tactics, the neutral-third-party test). Use when responding to peer reviews, writing an author response / rebuttal / reviewer reply for NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR/ICCV/ECCV, AAAI, ACL/ARR/EMNLP, or any venue, planning rebuttal experiments, or when the user says "rebuttal", "author response", "respon...

End-to-end academic paper creation — outline design, structured content writing, review, and assembly. Covers survey papers, empirical research, technical papers, case studies, literature reviews, and any formal academic writing requiring methodology sections, contribution positioning, and rigorous citation. Outputs are delivered in Markdown (`.md`) format. Do NOT use for: industry reports, consulting deliverables, policy briefs (use report-writing).

Conduct thorough, multi-dimensional research on complex questions using file creation and editing, search engines and browsers, code execution, image and multimedia generation, slide creation, website deployment, and visual processing of tool outputs. Think critically, use the current date as the temporal reference, verify uncertain information proactively, and deliver comprehensive, well-structured, rigorously grounded findings.

Orchestrate multi-agent epistemic triangulation: diverge across research dimensions, detect overlaps and contradictions, verify deeply, then converge into a validated synthesis. Swarm parallelism serves epistemic robustness — not merely speed. **Adaptive routing** ensures the pipeline fits the task: wide-search topics get a two-stage parallel swarm (breadth then depth); file-based tasks skip or augment external search; focused queries go straight to dimension decomposition.

Academic review writer and formatting assistant for Chinese academic papers. Use this skill when users need to format, check, and refine academic literature reviews, reference lists, or generate compliant Word documents according to Chinese academic standards.

Verify claims and information using professional fact-checking services. Use this skill when users want to verify facts, check claims in articles/videos/transcripts, validate news authenticity, cross-reference information with trusted fact-checkers, or investigate potentially false or misleading content. Triggers include requests to "fact check", "verify this", "is this true", "check if this is accurate", or when users share content they want validated against misinformation.

UX research and design toolkit for Senior UX Designer/Researcher including data-driven persona generation, journey mapping, usability testing frameworks, and research synthesis. Use for user research, persona creation, journey mapping, and design validation.

Multi-agent cancer research coordinator — assigns TNBC research and QC review tasks to agents who search open-access databases and submit cited findings.

Designs market and user research plans focused on methodology selection and research material authoring (screeners, surveys, interview guides, usability task scripts, etc.). Use this skill whenever the user wants to plan or structure research activities, choose between qualitative and quantitative methods, or draft research artifacts, but not to analyze collected data.
