Use this skill whenever a user asks to find data, locate datasets, identify data sources, or asks "what data exists for...", "where can I get data on...", "is there a dataset that...", or similar.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'find-data' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'find-data' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named find-data already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'data-sourcing/find-data' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'data-sourcing/find-data' ~/.agents/skills/'find-data' && 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/'find-data' ~/.claude/skills/'find-data' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
