Research

Professional skill creation with research-driven workflow and automated validation. USE WHEN: Creating new skills, validating existing skills, deciding between Skills vs Subagents, migrating documents to skills, or running individual validation tools. PRIMARY TRIGGERS: "create skill" = Full creation (12 steps with research + execution planning) "validate skill" = Validation workflow (steps 3-8) "Skills vs Subagents" = Decision workflow (step 0) "convert doc to skill" = Migration workflow "estimate tokens" = Token optimization "security scan" = Security audit WORKFLOW COMPLIANCE: Structured workflows with validation checkpoints. Research phase (Step 1c-1d) ensures skills based on proven approaches. DIFFERENTIATOR: Research-driven creation. Web search (3-5 queries) before building. Multi-proposal generation. 9 automation scripts. Quality 9.0+/10. REUSED: Anthropic's init_skill.py and package_skill.py (production-tested).

Systematic problem investigation through hypothesis formation, evidence gathering, and elimination methodology. Use when diagnosing failures, investigating incidents, finding root causes, or when root-cause, diagnosis, investigate, or --rca are mentioned. Micro-skill loaded by debugging-and-diagnosis, codebase-analysis, and other investigation skills.

Also use for PDF generation with Pandoc/XeLaTeX, section numbering, table of contents, bibliography, landscape/portrait orientation, printing (one-sided, duplex, simplex, lpr), fixing diagrams breaking across pages, code block page breaks, or double numbering issues. Triggers on - markdown for PDF, write document for printing, create printable doc, pandoc, xelatex, print PDF, PDF generation.

Evidence-based codebase investigation methodology. Use when analyzing codebases, understanding architecture, exploring patterns, or investigating technical problems. Triggers when user asks to analyze, investigate, understand, research, or explore code. Core foundation for analyst and debugger agents.

Build comprehensive randomization lists for creative entropy. Use when you need to create or expand lists of story elements (professions, locations, objects, names, etc.) for use with entropy tools. Leverages research sources like Kiwix/Wikipedia to build lists with good variety and size.

Create an educational MicroSim using the vis-network JavaScript library. Each MicroSim is a directory located in the /docs/sims folder. It has a main.html file that can be referenced with an iframe. The main.html file imports the main JavaScript code to run the educational MicroSim.

Expert in user research, usability testing, feedback analysis, and user-centered design

Conduct comprehensive, multi-source research on any topic using the 7-phase Deep Research protocol with Graph of Thoughts. Use when user needs thorough research with verified claims, citations, and source triangulation. Triggers on "deep research [topic]", "research [topic] thoroughly", "I need comprehensive research on...", or "investigate [topic]".

Use this when creating new projects, generating documentation, cleaning/organizing a repo, suggesting architecture, deploying containers and services, naming files/folders, or when the user references 'ecosystem', 'patterns', or 'containers'. This skill outlines naming conventions, stack preferences, project organization (iMi worktrees), Docker patterns, and PRD structures from past conversations.

Maintain a wiki-style world bible for collaborative fiction. Use for long-running story worlds, shared universes, membership sites, or any fiction requiring persistent canonical reference.

Creates powerful commands for business research, content analysis, healthcare compliance, API integration, documentation automation, and workflow optimization. Outputs organized commands to generated-commands/ with validation and installation guidance.

Search and download images via Google Custom Search API with LLM-powered selection. This skill should be used when finding images for articles, presentations, research documents, or enriching Obsidian notes with relevant visuals. Supports simple queries, batch processing from JSON config, automatic config generation from terms, and full note enrichment with automatic image insertion below headings.

Covers English-only landing page structure, update posts with date-prefixed filenames, PaperMod frontmatter (cover images, table of contents, author field), simple flat organization, and ose-platform-web specific conventions. Essential for ose-platform-web content creation tasks

Personal knowledge management for Obsidian combining GTD, Zettelkasten, and PARA. Six workflows: (1) Capture - "capture this", "remember this", "save this thought", "note this down" - saves thoughts/tasks to daily inbox without categorization; (2) Process inbox - "process my inbox", "organize captures", "GTD processing" - clarifies items and routes to projects or permanent notes; (3) Daily plan - "plan my day", "what should I work on", "morning planning" - creates prioritized task list based on energy and context; (4) Daily closeout - "daily closeout", "review my day", "evening reflection" - marks progress and drafts tomorrow's plan; (5) Setup - "set up my second brain", "configure vault" - configures vault path and user goals; (6) Excalidraw - "create a diagram", "visualize this", "draw flowchart", "sketch this" - creates .excalidraw.md files with rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, arrows, lines, and text. Proactively offers to capture valuable insights during research conversations.
