Build a timeframe-bounded research dossier by decomposing a topic into year orchestrators and month-level research passes that each write one condensed paragraph plus sources directly into a target file. Use when the user asks for a dossier, timeline, chronology, release history, or month-by-month research bounded by specific years or months. Not for timeless explainers or single-document summaries with no temporal scope.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'timeframe-research' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'timeframe-research' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named timeframe-research already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/av/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8f70341629e3871b17c34b54aca27e02bf1d4b49' -- 'timeframe-research' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'timeframe-research' ~/.agents/skills/'timeframe-research' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'timeframe-research' ~/.claude/skills/'timeframe-research' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
