Research pipeline: literature search, paper reading, hypothesis generation, and systematic field mapping. Use when reading papers, finding sources, generating ideas, or surveying a research area.
Literature search, paper reading, note-taking, and knowledge synthesis for ML research and tech exploration. Use when the user wants to find papers, read and extract from academic or technical content, take structured notes, build a bibliography, or synthesize knowledge across sources. Also use when the user says 'note this paper', 'find papers on X', 'summarize what I know about X', 'what does this paper say', or 'search for related work'.
Structured ideation frameworks for generating research ideas, finding novel angles, and tracking hypotheses over time. Use when the user wants new ideas, says 'I'm stuck', 'what could I try', 'find me an angle on X', 'brainstorm', 'what's novel here', or when gap analysis reveals unexplored territory. Also use to manage the ideas/ tracker.
Systematic literature review, field mapping, bibliography building, and gap analysis. Use when the user wants to map an entire research area, build a structured bibliography, find gaps in the literature, or produce a survey. Also use when the user says 'what's the state of the art in X', 'map this field', 'build a bibliography on X', or 'where are the gaps'.
A curated set of AI skills for design, writing, and research — with more to come.
LLMs are already capable. A skill's job is to focus that capability, not replace it — specialized enough to be precise, minimal enough to be cheap. Every token in a skill is a token that could have gone to your actual task, so each one has to earn its place. No filler, no redundancy — just the signal that unlocks the right behavior across any context.
