web-research
From the author
Use when the user wants web research: gathering cited, multi-angle evidence on a specific question. Triggers on: "research X for me", "do web research on", "look up sources for", "find citations for", "gather evidence on", "what does the web say about X". Also invoked programmatically by other beagle skills (prfaq-beagle Ignition, brainstorm-beagle reference points, strategy-interview context grounding) via the companion contract. Does NOT trigger on codebase lookups ("find this function", "search the repo"), local file search, LLM-as-judge evaluation, or paywalled/auth-gated scraping. Produces a written plan, parallel-subagent findings, and a cited synthesis report on disk — never inline prose, never unsourced claims.

- artifact-analysisexistential-birds/beagleUse when the user wants a cited, structured read of local documents and project knowledge. Triggers on: "analyze these docs", "scan my project for context", "read the docs folder", "summarize what's in .beagle/concepts/", "extract context from docs/", "what's in this folder", "go read everything in X and tell me what's there". Also invoked programmatically by other beagle skills (prfaq-beagle Ignition, brainstorm-beagle reference points, strategy-interview context grounding) via the companion contract. Does NOT trigger on codebase lookups ("find this function", "search the repo"), web research (use web-research), LLM-as-judge evaluation (use llm-judge), or document editing (use humanize-beagle). Produces a written scan plan, parallel-subagent findings, and a cited synthesis report on disk — never inline prose, never unsourced claims.Science★ 84
- topic-researchnaveedharri/benai-skillsResearch any topic end to end and get back a fact-checked, branded HTML report plus an agent-readable markdown brief. Use when the user wants to research a topic, do a deep dive, build a research report or briefing, gather evidence before writing a piece of content, understand 'what does the research say / what are people saying about X', or study a subject across papers, forums, YouTube, and vendor/web sources. Fans out parallel sub-agents (one per source type), verifies every hard claim with the fact-checker, synthesizes one sourced markdown brief, renders it as a branded report, and deploys it live. Connector-adaptive: uses Firecrawl, Apify, a scholarly/PubMed MCP, YouTube/vidIQ, and Reddit where available, and falls back to web search, web fetch, and browser-use where they are not. Trigger on 'research this topic', 'topic research', 'do a deep dive on', 'build me a research report', 'what does the evidence say about', or 'research X before I write about it'.Science★ 73
- search-tipsmalob/nix-configThis skill should be used when performing web research beyond a simple single search -- looking into topics, comparing options, investigating questions, finding recommendations, or any task where effective use of Exa, Firecrawl, and Reddit tools matters. Triggers on "research", "look into", "investigate", "compare", "find out about", "search for", "find information", "what do people think about", "what are the best", "look up", or multi-source search tasks. Also invocable explicitly by deep-research team members via the Skill tool.Science★ 462
- literature-researchfcakyon/phd-skillsUse when the user wants to find related work, survey a research area, identify literature gaps, or discover open-source implementations. Triggers on phrases like "find papers on", "related work", "literature review", "what papers exist", "open source implementation", or "papers with code".Science★ 433
- brainstorm-beagleexistential-birds/beagleUse when the user has a fuzzy idea and wants to shape it into a concrete project spec before planning or building. Triggers on: "brainstorm this", "I have an idea for...", "help me think through this project", "what should I build", "spec this out". Also catches vague feature descriptions needing structured questioning to clarify scope. Does NOT write code, plan implementation, review strategy docs, or run strategy interviews — produces a WHAT/WHY spec through dialogue, not a HOW plan.Planning★ 84
- firecrawl-searchfirecrawl/cliFind web sources with query-relevant page excerpts and optional full-page content, and discover workflows, data APIs, and indexes. Use for web research or finding structured records, listings, transcripts, and datasets. Supports semantic tool discovery, domain matching, and progressive catalogue browsing.Science★ 664
