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/'creative-thinking-for-research' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'creative-thinking-for-research' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named creative-thinking-for-research already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '773a52944ba4747a18bd4ae9ade53fff041adcbc' -- '21-research-ideation/creative-thinking-for-research' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'21-research-ideation/creative-thinking-for-research' ~/.agents/skills/'creative-thinking-for-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/'creative-thinking-for-research' ~/.claude/skills/'creative-thinking-for-research' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
