Use this skill whenever the user asks to write a scientific article, literature review, research paper, case report, systematic review, or any academic/scholarly document.
Plan management and strategy literature reviews before drafting, build and freeze a reusable review framework inside the workspace, trace key construct definitions back to anchor sources, and refine the section and paragraph blueprint with the user before handing off to the writing skill.
Academic research assistant for literature reviews, paper analysis, and scholarly writing.
Search Google Scholar Labs through BrowserOS MCP to find the top 3 best-fit papers for a topic, with optional seminal or survey mode and manual handoff for sign-in or anti-bot interruptions. Use when Codex needs an on-demand literature search against Scholar Labs rather than a full literature review.

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:
