Deep research with citation tracking
Plans new DataHub connectors by classifying the source system, researching it using a dedicated agent or inline research, and generating a _PLANNING.md blueprint with entity mapping and architecture decisions. Use when building a new connector, researching a source system for DataHub, or designing connector architecture. Triggers on: "plan a connector", "new connector for X", "research X for DataHub", "design connector for X", "create planning doc", or any request to plan/research/design a DataHub ingestion source.
De-Anthropocentric Research Engine — the main entry point for all research tasks. Use this skill whenever the user wants to research a topic, find papers, survey a field, trace citation chains, explore research gaps, generate novel ideas, or run experiments. This skill routes to the appropriate mode (quick/survey/deep/web/hybrid/research/execute) based on user intent. For full research mode, it orchestrates the complete pipeline: brainstorming → literature survey → gap analysis → idea generation → review loop → spec writing → implementation planning → experiment execution. ALWAYS use this skill as the starting point for any research-related request. --- # DARE DARE is a Vibe Researching Toolkit. You are a research assistant that uses DARE's external MCP tools to accomplish research tasks. ## Your Role You are an autonomous research agent. Given a research topic or question, you: 1. Understand intent, gauge desired depth and breadth 2. Automatically select the appropriate mode 3. Orchestrate tool calls autonomously, adapting based on intermediate results 4. Deliver structured research output ## Philosophical Orientation <HARD-GATE> Before proceeding to ANY mode (quick, survey, deep, research, web, hybrid, or execute), you MUST read `skills/dare/references/de-anthropocentric.md` in full. This is the value system that governs all research activity in DARE. Do NOT skip this step, do NOT summarize it from memory — read the actual file every time. </HARD-GATE> This philosophy is not a set of instructions. It is a lens. After reading it, carry its principles forward into every decision you make: which papers matter, which gaps to prioritize, which ideas to pursue, how to evaluate progress. The document will tell you what those principles are. ## Tools See `skills/tools/SKILL.md` for full reference, `skills/tools/references/dare-scholar.md` for detailed paper tool usage. | MCP Server | Tool | Purpose | |---|---|---| | apify | `google-scholar-scraper` | Google Scholar search
Use when evaluating academic papers or surveying a research topic. Gathers venue, citations, GitHub stats, social buzz, reproducibility, and author signals to produce a scored markdown report. Triggers: "evaluate paper", "paper review", "research survey", "literature review", "is this paper good", "find papers on", "compare papers", "paper impact
Strategic research framework that compresses months of market/competitive research into hours through structured power questions. Extracts unspoken industry insights, fragile market assumptions, and strategic attack surfaces from competitor data, reviews, and industry sources using parallel Exa-powered intelligence gathering. Use when user says "attack surface", "research the market", "competitive analysis", "analyze competitors", "find market opportunity", "stress-test this idea", "market research", "evaluate opportunity", "find blind spots", "market entry", or when they want to deeply understand a market, evaluate a new direction, find industry blind spots, assess a partnership, or analyze opportunities. Do NOT use for code review, testing, deployment, bug fixing, or implementation tasks. --- # Attack Surface — Strategic Research Framework Compress months of market research into hours. The difference between 3 hours and 3 months isn't the amount of information — it's knowing which questions actually matter. Instead of "summarize these" or "analyze the competition", this framework extracts: - **UNSPOKEN INSIGHTS** — what successful players understand that customers never say out loud - **FRAGILE ASSUMPTIONS** — beliefs the entire market is built on, and how they break - **ATTACK SURFACES** — the blind spots, the fragile consensus, the opening nobody is talking about ## When to Use - Entering a new market or vertical - Evaluating a new feature direction for an existing project - Assessing a partnership or platform opportunity - Stress-testing a business idea before committing - Finding competitive blind spots and underserved niches - Any strategic question that benefits from deep evidence-based analysis ## Workflow Overview 7 phases, alternating between automated intelligence gathering and user-guided analysis: | Phase | Name | Mode | Output | |-------|------|------|--------| | 1 | Briefing | Interactive | Research brief | | 2 | Source Collection | Automated (parall
End-to-end user research assistant — qualitative and quantitative. Use this skill whenever the user mentions user research, user interviews, discussion guides, interview guides, research plans, qualitative research, quantitative research, user surveys, survey design, usability studies, participant recruitment, research synthesis, interview transcripts, research reports, running studies with AI, or explicitly mentions Cookiy AI. Also trigger when users want to talk to customers, conduct discovery research, create a study or survey, analyze interview data, run AI-moderated interviews, or collect survey responses. Covers the full lifecycle: planning studies, creating discussion guides, running AI-moderated interviews (real or synthetic) via Cookiy, designing and distributing surveys, and synthesizing results into reports. --- # User Research, End to End Route to the right workflow based on user intent. ## Routing Infer the intent/stage from context. | Intent | Route | |---|---| | Explicitly wants a study plan, screening questionnaire, or discussion guide | [Route A: Plan a Study](#route-a-plan-a-study) | | Has transcripts/notes, needs a report | [Route B: Synthesize](#route-b-synthesize-a-report) | | Explicitly mentions Cookiy AI | [Route C: Cookiy](#route-c-run-with-cookiy) | | Other | [Orchestration](#orchestration) | If ambiguous, ask one clarifying question. ### Orchestration When the user has a research goal but hasn't specified qual vs quant, help them decide — or choose both in sequence. - **If qualitative (interviews) is decided:** Offer Cookiy AI for end-to-end execution. Route to [Route C](#route-c-run-with-cookiy) if yes, [Route A](#route-a-plan-a-study) if they prefer to plan manually. - **If quantitative (survey) is decided:** Offer Cookiy AI for end-to-end execution. Route to [Route C](#route-c-run-with-cookiy) if yes. --- ## Route A: Plan a Study **When:** User wants to create a research plan, discussion/interview guide, or screening questionnaire. **Do:

End-to-end user research assistant — from planning to synthesis. Use this skill whenever the user mentions user research, user interviews, discussion guides, interview guides, research plans, qualitative research, usability studies, participant recruitment, research synthesis, interview transcripts, research reports, running studies with AI, or explicitly mentions Cookiy AI. Also trigger when users want to talk to customers, conduct discovery research, create a study, analyze interview data, or run AI-moderated interviews. Covers the full lifecycle: planning a study, creating discussion guides, running AI-moderated interviews (real or simulated) via Cookiy, and synthesizing raw transcripts into evidence-backed reports. --- # Cookiy Skill — User Research, End to End This skill routes you to the right workflow based on what the user needs. There are three core capabilities, and they often chain together. --- ## Step 1: Identify the User's Intent Ask the user what stage they're at, or infer from context: | What the user wants | Go to | |---|---| | **Explicitly wants a detailed study plan, screening questionnaire, or interview/discussion guide** — they specifically ask to create these artifacts | [Qualitative Research Planner](#route-a-plan-a-study) | | **Synthesize a report** — they already have interview transcripts/notes and need analysis | [Synthesize Research Report](#route-b-synthesize-a-report) | | **Explicitly mentions Cookiy AI** — they want to use the Cookiy platform | [Cookiy AI Platform](#route-c-run-with-cookiy) | | **Has a rough research idea or already has a plan/guide** — didn't mention Cookiy | Ask: *"Would you like to use Cookiy AI to run this study end-to-end? Cookiy can generate a research plan and interview guide from your goal, recruit participants, conduct AI-moderated interviews (or simulated interviews with AI personas), and synthesize the results into a report."* Route to [Cookiy AI Platform](#route-c-run-with-cookiy) if yes, or [Qualitative Re

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:
