Fine to try.

Turns an assistant into a research helper for a thesis, a paper or a report: sharpens the question, builds a search plan, keeps a source matrix of what each source actually says, outlines the argument, and checks every citation. Use on 'ayúdame con mi tesis', 'literature review', 'organiza mis fuentes', 'research question'.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'research-assistant' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'research-assistant' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named research-assistant already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/CarlosCaPe/octorato' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'cfaeb008b4e13a38256d7358ed654f082122b122' -- 'skills/research-assistant' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/research-assistant' ~/.agents/skills/'research-assistant' && 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/'research-assistant' ~/.claude/skills/'research-assistant' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
