research

80 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Use when user invokes /research command with any source — URL, GitHub repo, YouTube video, podcast, Reddit post, academic paper, documentation page, product site, local file, or empty. Processes and indexes research materials with raw source preservation and topic-level synthesis coalescing. Do NOT use for quick factual questions — use /explain instead.

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/'research' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'research' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named research already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/harnessprotocol/harness-kit' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '4094970dee9a31be7b899126aca1cd4256f57ca8' -- 'plugins/research/skills/research' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/research/skills/research' ~/.agents/skills/'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/'research' ~/.claude/skills/'research' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
