academic-research

This skill should be used for academic paper search, literature reviews, and research synthesis. Combines Exa MCP (research_paper category, arxiv.org filtering) with arxiv-mcp-server for paper discovery, download, and deep analysis. Use when searching for papers, conducting literature reviews, analyzing research trends, or synthesizing findings across multiple papers.

Curate-Ipsum

Code synthesis through belief revision, mutation testing, and verification

gemini-delegate

Use when the task is dominated by large-context reading, synthesis, long-form drafting, bilingual or CJK writing, or second-opinion review rather than bulk code generation. Typical triggers include English or Chinese summaries of large source material, cross-file synthesis, terminology alignment, release-note drafting, and reviewer-style passes over documentation or generated output.

adr-consultation

Multi-agent consultation for architecture decisions. Dispatches 3 specialized reviewers in parallel (contrarian, user advocate, meta-process) to challenge a plan or ADR before implementation begins, producing a synthesis with a PROCEED or BLOCKED verdict. Use for "consult on this ADR", "challenge this design", "review before implementing", "should we proceed", or any Medium+ architecture decision. Do NOT use for trivial changes, simple bug fixes, or decisions already in implementation.

Sensecritiq

UX research synthesis. Upload interviews and get themes, findings, and verbatim quotes in minutes.

skillforge

Intelligent skill router and creator. Analyzes ANY input to recommend existing skills, improve them, or create new ones. Uses deep iterative analysis with 11 thinking models, regression questioning, evolution lens, and multi-agent synthesis panel. Phase 0 triage ensures you never duplicate existing functionality.

Doubao TTS — 豆包语音合成

Generate high-quality speech audio from text using Volcengine's Doubao TTS API. Supports short-form (real-time) and long-form (async, up to 100K characters) synthesis.

zettelforge

ZettelForge v2.0.0 — Production CTI agentic memory system. Hybrid TypeDB (STIX 2.1 ontology) + LanceDB (vector search). Zero external AI dependencies: fastembed for embeddings, llama-cpp-python for LLM. 75% accuracy on CTI queries, 18% on LOCOMO. Use when agents need persistent memory, threat intel retrieval, entity extraction, graph traversal, or RAG synthesis.

debate

Structured AI debate templates and synthesis. Use when orchestrating multi-round debates between AI tools, 'debate topic', 'argue about', 'stress test idea', 'devil advocate'.

video-podcast-maker

Use when user provides a topic and wants an automated video podcast created - handles research, script writing, TTS audio synthesis, Remotion video creation, and final MP4 output with background music

notebooklm-research

Full-autopilot AI research agent powered by Google NotebookLM (notebooklm-py v0.3.4). Ingests sources (URL, text, PDF, DOCX, YouTube, Google Drive), runs deep web research, asks cited questions, and generates 10 native artifact types (audio podcast, video, cinematic video, slide deck, report, quiz, flashcards, mind map, infographic, data table, study guide). Produces original content drafts via Claude, with optional publishing to social platforms via threads-viral-agent integration. Use this skill when the user mentions: NotebookLM, research with sources, create notebook, generate podcast from articles, turn research into content, trending topic research, research pipeline, source-based analysis, cited research answers, generate slides, generate quiz, make flashcards, deep web research, create infographic, compare sources, research report, study guide, source analysis, or knowledge synthesis.

create-smartfolder

Turn a folder hierarchy into a SmartFolder — a tiered navigation-and-knowledge layer over the real files, so people and future Claude sessions can operate in it with full context and synthesized knowledge without opening every file. Use whenever the user asks to create, build, or convert a folder into a SmartFolder, "smartfolder-ize" a directory, add a CLAUDE.md / README / synthesis layer over files, reorganize an archive or document repository so Claude can navigate it, or review, upgrade, or extend existing SmartFolder scaffolding — even if they never say "SmartFolder" but describe wanting a folder of records made self-describing, navigable, or Claude-ready. Also use when asked to organize or reorganize a folder without a scheme the user has already chosen, so deciding it requires understanding the contents: look first, then offer this method rather than assuming it. Not for file operations already specified — renaming to a stated pattern, moving named files, de-duplicating.

cast-subagents

Use when suggesting exactly one Codex subagent lineup before work begins for multi-lane tasks: branch/PR review across bugs, security, tests, maintainability, docs, or regression risk; codepath tracing plus docs/API verification; option research with tradeoff synthesis; auth/codebase mapping before risk assessment or planning. Advisory only; no auto-spawn; approval required. Do not use for delegated subagent handoffs, trivial single-file fixes, wording-only edits, one fact lookup, unclear requests, or explicit opt-out.

rival-search-mcp

Deterministic deep research via RivalSearchMCP. 9 tools: 5-engine web search (DuckDuckGo/Bing/Yahoo/Mojeek/Wikipedia), 9-platform social search (Reddit/HN/StackOverflow/Dev.to/Medium/ProductHunt/Bluesky/Lobste.rs/Lemmy), 5-source news (Google/Bing/Guardian/GDELT/DDG), 5 academic DBs (OpenAlex/CrossRef/arXiv/PubMed/EuropePMC), GitHub search, website mapping, content extraction with OCR, and research topic synthesis. No API keys required. Use when the user needs web research, competitive analysis, content discovery, or academic paper search.
