Research

Deep code review with web research to verify against latest ecosystem. Use when user says 'double check against latest', 'verify versions', 'check security', 'review against docs', or needs deep analysis beyond automatic quality hook.

Expert in ALL computational collage composition: photo mosaics, grid layouts, scrapbook/journal styles, magazine editorial, vision boards, mood boards, social media collages, memory walls, abstract/generative arrangements, and art-historical techniques (Hockney joiners, Dadaist photomontage, Surrealist assemblage, Rauschenberg combines). Masters edge-based assembly, Poisson blending, optimal transport color harmonization, and aesthetic optimization. Activate on 'collage', 'photo mosaic', 'grid layout', 'scrapbook', 'vision board', 'mood board', 'photo wall', 'magazine layout', 'Hockney', 'joiner', 'photomontage'. NOT for simple image editing (use native-app-designer), generating new images (use Stability AI), single photo enhancement (use photo-composition-critic), or basic image similarity search (use clip-aware-embeddings).

CREATE/REPLAN Stories for Epic (5-10 Stories). Delegates ln-001-standards-researcher for standards research. Decompose-First Pattern. Auto-discovers team/Epic.

Use this skill for rigorous theoretical derivation with supercollider mode (G1-G7 simultaneous), diffusion reasoning, and synthesis engine. Applies enhanced Dokkado Protocol with generator hooks, meta-pattern recognition, and cognitive state awareness. Essential for MONAD-level framework development, cross-domain isomorphism detection, and resonant pattern synthesis. Evolution of reasoning-patterns with full gremlin-brain integration.

Document APIs comprehensively with signatures, parameters, return values, errors, and working code examples for developer reference

Provides FastMCP templates, patterns, and reference materials. Use when building MCP servers, implementing FastMCP tools/resources/prompts, or working with MCP protocol compliance.

Generates comprehensive documentation and API references

Systematic approach to gathering book research including source evaluation, citation formatting, fact-checking, and research organization. Use when conducting research, evaluating sources, or managing citations.

Research-backed prompting techniques for improved AI response quality (+45-115% improvement). Use when optimizing prompts, enhancing agent instructions, or when maximum response quality is critical. Invoked by /ai-eng/optimize command. Includes expert persona, stakes language, step-by-step reasoning, challenge framing, and self-evaluation techniques.

Transforms workflow to use Manus-style persistent markdown files for planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage. Use when starting complex tasks, multi-step projects, research tasks, or when the user mentions planning, organizing work, tracking progress, or wants structured output.

Use this skill for early-stage project planning. It leverages the Gemini CLI to generate high-quality first drafts of Product Briefs, Research Documents, and full PRDs, guiding users from idea to validated requirements. Triggers include "create PRD", "product brief", or "validate requirements".

Document citations and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns for Claude. Activate for source attribution, document grounding, citation extraction, and contextual retrieval.

Deep code review with web research. USE WHEN user says 'double check against latest', 'verify versions', 'check security'. Complements automatic quality hook with ecosystem verification.

Deep research on features before building with co-founder mindset. Use when user wants to research a feature idea, explore if something is worth building, or says 'research this feature', 'is this worth building', 'explore this idea', or wants product + market + tech analysis.

Use when multiple tools are available for a task and intelligent routing is needed. Activates when routing-detector hook suggests it, or when user asks "which tool should I use" or "what's the best plugin for this". Provides context-aware tool ranking based on file context, user preferences, and tool specialization.

Execute AI security CTF challenges across any competition platform with adaptable workflows for indirect prompt injection, jailbreaks, agent exploitation, and evidence collection with research-grounded techniques

WHEN: Machine Learning/Deep Learning code review, PyTorch/TensorFlow patterns, Model training optimization, MLOps checks WHAT: Model architecture review + Training patterns + Data pipeline checks + GPU optimization + Experiment tracking WHEN NOT: Data analysis only → python-data-reviewer, General Python → python-reviewer

Research technical solutions by searching the web, examining GitHub repos, and gathering evidence. Use when exploring implementation options or evaluating technologies.
