Finds high-value SEO and GEO keywords using web search, AI analysis, and optionally paid tools like Ahrefs or Semrush. Produces a validated keywords.csv file with a fixed schema for downstream pipeline consumption.

Researches a company from its URL and produces a Brand DNA file covering positioning, audience, competitors, voice, and messaging. Use when starting work with a new brand or customer.

Researches Reddit using a brand's Brand DNA to find promotable pain-point discussions, target subreddits, and real user search language. Produces a prioritized Reddit opportunity list for content seeding, helpful replies, and prompt research inspiration.

Researches what prompts people ask AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) about a product category and produces a prompts.csv artifact — a prioritized, strictly-schema'd list of the queries where the brand should be cited. Feeds the monitor workflow.

Tracks AZIMUTH's 8 primary citation source families for new publications or significant updates. Stages validated findings in research/staged-findings.md for human review before promotion to references/base-rates.md. Invoke with 'run the research scout' or 'promote staged findings'.

Produce a sourced competitive matrix for a focused research question

Prose quality checker for Quarto (.qmd) files, grounded in William Zinsser''s *On Writing Well* (30th Anniversary Edition). Checks for clutter, weak verbs, hollow qualifiers, clichés, inflated academic voice, poor leads and endings, pronoun and tense inconsistency, and unclear explanation. Produces a structured markdown report organized by document section — never modifies the source file. Use when asked to improve prose quality, tighten writing, reduce clutter, or apply Zinsser''s writing pr...

Writes expert academic paper summaries for social science research, particularly political science and applied statistics. Use when asked to summarize, review, or create a reading summary of an academic paper, PDF, or research article. Accepts a file (PDF or text format) or a directory of papers. Produces a structured markdown summary — approximately 400–600 words — covering primary contributions, major questions and answers with point estimates, methods and data, and limitations and robustne...

Translates LaTeX documents (.tex) to Typst (.typ), focusing on article-class documents. Use when asked to convert, port, migrate, or translate LaTeX to Typst. Covers document structure, text formatting, page layout, math equations and symbols, figures, tables, TikZ-to-CeTZ diagrams, bibliography, cross-references, footnotes, and code blocks. Includes comprehensive symbol mapping tables.

Assesses a research paper outline (.qmd file) against structured criteria from Kosuke Imai''s empirical research guide. Evaluates the abstract and section outline for: research question clarity, stated contributions, hypotheses and testable implications, data description, planned results and inferential approach, and robustness checks. Detects causal papers from the abstract and conditionally assesses identification strategy only when causal framing is present. Produces a structured markdown ...

Research a topic using web search and scraping. Use when asked to "look up", "research", "find out about" something.

Research domain expertise for a council agent before generating its definition

Autonomous iterative research loop. Takes a topic, runs web searches, fetches sources, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: program.md configures objectives and constraints, the loop runs until depth is reached, output goes directly into the knowledge base. Triggers on: "/autoresearch", "autoresearch", "research [topic]", "deep dive into [topic]", "investigate [topic]", "find everything about [topic]", "researc...

Use when exploring a new idea before writing formal specifications. Guides users through iterative discovery, research, and critical analysis to crystallize vague ideas into validated requirement drafts. Includes anti-pseudo-requirement checks, competitive research, demand evidence gathering, and "What if we don't build this?" analysis. Supports pause/resume across sessions, stores ideas in the project's ideas/ directory, and graduates validated ideas into the spec-forge auto chain (idea → de...

Write a structured research prompt document — questions only, no answers

子 skill — 研究与学习。当用户问"X 在这个 repo 里怎么工作"（特性解释器，含 TL;DR/折叠步骤/tab 代码/FAQ）或要解释抽象概念（concept.html，含交互式可视化）时使用。当父 skill 路由命中"解释/explain/教我/这是什么/learn"类请求时加载。

Turn user interviews into actionable insights. Advanced synthesis techniques and frameworks.

Deep competitive analysis + ongoing monitoring. Checks user research for competitor mentions, sales notes, existing analysis. Integrates with retention-analysis and user-research-synthesis.

Autonomous research loop that iteratively improves code through experiments. Runs experiments on local or remote GPUs, tracks results, keeps improvements, discards failures, and never stops. TRIGGER THIS SKILL when users want to autonomously research, optimize, or experiment on a problem — whether they say "run experiments overnight", "optimize this model", "try different approaches and keep what works", "do research on this", "iterate on this until it gets better", "run an experiment loop", ...

Look up any arxiv paper on alphaxiv.org to get a structured AI-generated overview. This is faster and more reliable than trying to read a raw PDF.

Plan, conduct, and analyze UX research using proven methodologies. Use when planning user research, writing interview scripts, creating test plans, recruiting participants, analyzing qualitative data, or synthesizing findings into actionable insights. Covers generative, evaluative, and continuous discovery research with specific frameworks, scoring rubrics, and templates.

Create customer journey maps, service blueprints, experience maps, empathy maps, and other alignment diagrams. Guides diagram type selection, content structure, illustration syntax, and alignment workshops.

Discover how a codebase already handles a specific concern — search broadly, find every instance, and assess consistency. The "how does this app do X?" tool.
