Idea brainstorming and validation grounded in evidence. Triggers on "brainstorm", "is this worth building", "has anyone built X", "validate my idea", "check if X exists", "research this idea", "what are the prior-art options for Y". Researches GitHub, npm/PyPI, and the web in parallel, then synthesizes a decision-ready brief — not code or designs.
Use this skill whenever a researcher wants to test, validate, stress-test, or falsify a research idea or hypothesis — especially in AI/ML/deep learning. Trigger on phrases like "I have an idea," "would this work," "test this hypothesis," "sanity check my idea," "what's wrong with this idea," "review my results," "is this publishable," "why isn't this working," or any request to evaluate the feasibility, novelty, or correctness of a research concept.
Part of the quantum-loop autonomous development pipeline (brainstorm \u2192 spec \u2192 plan \u2192 execute \u2192 review \u2192 verify). Deep Socratic exploration of a feature idea before implementation. Asks questions one at a time, proposes 2-3 alternative approaches with trade-offs, presents design section-by-section for approval, and saves an approved design document. Use when starting a new feature, exploring an idea, or before writing a spec. Triggers on: brainstorm, explore idea, design this, think through, ql-brainstorm.
Run SciNet's idea-evaluate workflow to collect evidence about a research idea's novelty, feasibility, soundness, and differentiation. Use when the user asks whether an idea is worth pursuing, wants prior-art checks, feasibility review, research-risk assessment, or literature-grounded idea evaluation.

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Quick Start:
Import/download skills (.zip/.skill), then place locally:
~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code)
~/.codex/skills/ (Codex CLI)
One SKILL.md can be reused across tools.
Everything you need to know: what skills are, how they work, how to find/import them, and how to contribute.
A skill is a reusable capability package, usually including SKILL.md (purpose/IO/how-to) and optional scripts/templates/examples.
Think of it as a plugin playbook + resource bundle for AI assistants/toolchains.
Skills use progressive disclosure: load brief metadata first, load full docs only when needed, then execute by guidance.
This keeps agents lightweight while preserving enough context for complex tasks.
Use these three together:
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
Most common reasons:
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
