Research

Automated hypothesis generation and testing using large language models. Use this skill when generating scientific hypotheses from datasets, combining literature insights with empirical data, testing hypotheses against observational data, or conducting systematic hypothesis exploration for research discovery in domains like deception detection, AI content detection, mental health analysis, or other empirical research tasks.

CLI tool (arxivterminal) for fetching, searching, and managing arXiv papers locally. Use when working with arXiv papers using the arxivterminal command - fetching new papers by category, searching the local database, viewing papers from specific dates, or managing the local paper database.

Create epistemically honest Source of Truth documents that pass Clarity Gate verification. Use when consolidating research, documenting project state, creating verification baselines, or building authoritative references. Triggers on "create source of truth", "document verified state", "consolidate research", "create verification baseline", "build authoritative reference".

Auto-creates skills at threshold (2+ uses).TRIGGERS - Keywords: create skill, create agent, new skill, new agent, skill creation, agent creation, unfamiliar technology, unknown framework, no specialist, missing skill, need expert, technology specialist, extend capabilities.TRIGGERS - Phrases: "create a skill for", "make an agent for", "need a specialist", "don't have a skill for", "unfamiliar with this tech", "research and create", "add support for", "extend to handle".TRIGGERS - Automatic: New technology encountered 2+ times without existing skill, learning agent proposes new agent, repeated documentation lookups for same technology.

Architecture analysis, violation detection, and pattern validation.USE WHEN: reviewing code architecture, identifying violations,verifying patterns, updating technical documentation.Reference: docs/02-architecture/ARCHITECTURE.mdExamples:<example>Context: User wants to check if code follows architecture.user: "Analyze if the payment module follows our architecture"assistant: "I'll use architecture-analyzer to review against ARCHITECTURE.md."<commentary>Architectural review is architecture-analyzer specialty.</commentary></example><example>Context: Need to identify technical debt.user: "Find architectural violations in the services layer"assistant: "I'll use architecture-analyzer to scan for violations."<commentary>Violation detection is architecture-analyzer responsibility.</commentary></example>

Use when searching academic papers on arXiv, understanding research content, building literature reviews, or generating citations for academic writing

Fetch web content from URLs, extract specific topics using subagents, and save structured summaries as markdown. This skill should be used when other skills or workflows need to retrieve and analyze web documentation. Input is URL(s) and topic names, output is detailed markdown summaries saved to specified paths.

Find and fix bugs systematically. Use when encountering errors, test failures, or unexpected behavior. Hypothesis-driven debugging to locate root causes and implement minimal fixes.

Web research via Gemini CLI with Google Search grounding. Generates markdown report. Claude MUST append analysis section after. Use for real-time data: news, docs, code examples, fact verification.

NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript indicator scaffold and patterns. Provides C# structure guidance and triggers doc-researcher for API verification. Use when developing NinjaTrader indicators.

Comprehensive toolkit for product managers including RICE prioritization, customer interview analysis, PRD templates, discovery frameworks, and go-to-market strategies. Use for feature prioritization, user research synthesis, requirement documentation, and product strategy development.

Create new Claude Code Skills using Ruby as the control flow language. Use this skill when users want to author Skills with programmatic logic, conditionals, loops, and dynamic behavior using Ruby code. Ideal for Skills requiring IF/THEN conditionals, variable-driven control flow, dynamic file references, or complex multi-step workflows that benefit from a programming language over static markdown.

Tracking document for SND plugin skills, repository references, and missing documentation. Use this to find official sources and prioritize skill creation.

Master coordinator for complete project setup from ideation to ready-to-code. Manages workflow through ideation, research, tech stack selection, documentation, and project initialization to deliver working projects in minutes.

DEPRECATED - Use the journal and notes skills instead

Optimize markdown files for LLM consumption by adding YAML front-matter with metadata and TOC, normalizing heading hierarchy, removing noise and redundancy, converting verbose prose to structured formats, and identifying opportunities for Mermaid diagrams. Use when preparing technical documentation, notes, research, or knowledge base content for use as LLM reference material or in prompts.

Applies personalized Claude Code settings. Use when setting up Claude Code preferences on a new machine.

Automatically reference and validate schemas from both legacy data sources and medallion layer data sources (bronze, silver, gold) before generating PySpark transformation code. This skill should be used proactively whenever PySpark ETL code generation is requested, ensuring accurate column names, data types, business logic, and cross-layer mappings are incorporated into the code.

Manages multi-phase tasks using persistent markdown files as cross-session memory. Syncs plan state to TodoWrite for UI visibility. Triggers: 3+ phase tasks, research, multi-session work, refactors, or keywords like "plan", "track progress", "resume", "continue", "break this down", "organize".
