Research

Use this agent when delegating research tasks that require collecting and verifying beyond surface-level sources. The agent crawls, collates, verifies, and fact-checks information, providing evidence of its verification process.

Search academic paper repositories (arXiv, Semantic Scholar) for scholarly articles in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, AI/ML, and related fields

Generates comprehensive reports on recent company developments using web search. Use when analyzing stocks, researching companies, evaluating investments, or when users mention company names, stock tickers, market analysis, or financial research.

Browse Bluesky content via API and firehose - search posts, fetch user activity, sample trending topics, read feeds and lists. Use for Bluesky research, user monitoring, trend analysis, feed reading, firehose sampling.

Advanced memory operations reference. Basic patterns (profile loading, simple recall/remember) are in project instructions. Consult this skill for background writes, memory versioning, complex queries, and edge cases.

Multi-conversation methodology for iterative stateful work with context accumulation. Use when users request work that spans multiple sessions (research, debugging, refactoring, feature development), need to build on past progress, explicitly mention iterative work, work logs, project knowledge, or cross-conversation learning.

Structured development workflows using /brainstorm, /write-plan, and /execute-plan patterns. Transform ad-hoc conversations into systematic project execution with hypothesis-driven planning, incremental implementation, and progress tracking.

Systematic research methodology for building comprehensive, current knowledge on any topic. Requires web_search tool. Use when questions require thorough investigation, recent developments post-cutoff, synthesis across multiple sources, or when Claude's knowledge may be outdated or incomplete. Triggered by "Research", "Investigate", "What's current on", "Latest info on", complex queries needing validation, or technical topics with recent changes.

Create and configure Claude Code agents with YAML frontmatter, tool selection, model specification, and naming conventions. Reference for building specialized AI subagents that handle complex, multi-step tasks.

Expert research analyst specializing in comprehensive information gathering, synthesis, and insight generation. Masters research methodologies, data analysis, and report creation with focus on delivering actionable intelligence that drives informed decision-making.

Configure CLAUDE.md project memory files for persistent context, coding standards, architecture decisions, and team conventions. Reference for the 4-tier memory hierarchy and quick-add commands.

Research and configure new/custom AI models not yet in models.dev. Use when user mentions a new model release, asks to add a model from a non-standard provider, or wants to configure a custom/self-hosted model. Triggers: "new model", "just released", "configure [model name]", "add [provider] model", "set up [model]", custom endpoints, self-hosted models, bleeding-edge releases.

Expert on Aptos Object Model - ObjectCore, Object<T> wrapper, constructor references, ExtendRef/DeleteRef/TransferRef capabilities, object ownership, named vs generated objects, composability, and migration from resource-only patterns. Triggers on keywords object model, objectcore, constructorref, extendref, deleteref, transferref, named object, object ownership, composable object

Analyze AI/ML technical content (papers, articles, blog posts) and extract actionable insights filtered through enterprise AI engineering lens. Use when user provides URL/document for AI/ML content analysis, asks to "review this paper", or mentions technical content in domains like RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, LLM deployment.

Research-backed creation and enhancement of opencode agents. Use when creating new agents from requirements, improving underperforming agents, or designing agent configurations. Triggers on "create an agent for X", "improve my Y agent", "design a specialized agent", "my agent isn't working well".

Expert on Move programming language - abilities (copy/drop/store/key), generics, phantom types, references, global storage operations, signer pattern, visibility modifiers, friend functions, inline optimization, and advanced type system. Triggers on keywords move language, abilities, generics, phantom type, borrow global, signer, friend, inline, type parameter

Create slash commands for Claude Code with $ARGUMENTS handling, agent invocation patterns, and template best practices. Reference for building user-triggered workflow shortcuts.

UX research and analysis for identifying gaps, mapping customer journeys, benchmarking against top companies (OpenAI, Apple, Stripe, Notion), and measuring UX success using frameworks like JTBD, Kano Model, Double Diamond, and Service Blueprints.

Comprehensive reference for creating Claude Code skills with progressive disclosure, SKILL.md structure, resources/ organization, frontmatter specification, and best practices for modular capability development.

Scaffolds a structured investigation in scratch/ for empirical research and documentation. Use when the user says "start an investigation" or wants to: trace code paths or data flow ("trace from X to Y", "what touches X", "follow the wiring"), document system architecture comprehensively ("document how the system works", "archeology"), investigate bugs ("figure out why X happens"), explore technical feasibility ("can we do X?"), or explore design options ("explore the API", "gather context", "design alternatives"). Creates dated folder with README. NOT for simple code questions or single-file searches.
