information-literacy
From the author
Skills for finding, evaluating, and using information effectively and ethically across print and digital sources. Covers the research process (question formulation, source identification, evaluation, synthesis, citation), digital literacy (search strategies, database navigation, Boolean operators), source evaluation frameworks (CRAAP, SIFT, lateral reading), media literacy (news literacy, algorithmic curation, filter bubbles), ethical use of information (plagiarism, citation, fair use, intellectual property), and reading across multiple sources to build knowledge. Use when conducting research, evaluating sources, navigating digital information environments, teaching research skills, or addressing plagiarism and citation.

- media-literacyTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorMedia literacy and critical analysis of media messages across platforms and formats. Covers media ecology (McLuhan), encoding/decoding (Hall), news literacy, digital media analysis, propaganda techniques, algorithmic curation, visual rhetoric, and ethical media consumption. Use when analyzing media messages, evaluating news sources, understanding how media technology shapes communication, detecting propaganda, or studying the relationship between medium and message.Other★ 71
- digital-systemsTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorFoundational digital technology literacy covering binary and data representation, computer architecture (CPU, memory, storage, I/O), networking fundamentals (protocols, the internet, LAN/WAN), operating systems, and software concepts. Use when explaining how computers work, how data is stored and transmitted, how networks operate, or how hardware and software interact. Distinct from programming -- this skill covers what digital systems are and how they function, not how to write code for them.Writing★ 71
- critical-readingTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorAnalytical evaluation of texts for argument quality, author purpose, bias, credibility, and rhetorical strategy. Covers the distinction between comprehension and critique, argument analysis (claims, evidence, reasoning, warrants), rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos), bias identification (selection bias, confirmation bias, loaded language, omission), source credibility evaluation (CRAAP test, lateral reading), propaganda techniques, media literacy, and multi-text synthesis. Use when evaluating arguments, identifying bias, assessing source reliability, analyzing rhetoric, or synthesizing across multiple texts on the same topic.Testing★ 71
- research-writingTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorResearch writing conventions for academic and professional contexts. Covers the research process (question formation, literature review, methodology, evidence evaluation), academic genres (research paper, literature review, annotated bibliography, thesis/dissertation, conference paper), citation and attribution (MLA, APA, Chicago, IEEE, in-text vs. footnote, bibliography construction), source evaluation (CRAAP test, peer review, primary vs. secondary, bias detection), research argument construction (hypothesis-driven, question-driven, thesis as evolving claim), and ethical research practices (plagiarism, paraphrase integrity, IRB considerations, data transparency). Use when writing research papers, evaluating sources, constructing academic arguments, or teaching research methodology.Science★ 71
- literature-reviewjaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsConducting systematic, scoping, and narrative literature reviews. Covers PRISMA/PRISMA-ScR protocols, search strategy (Boolean, MeSH), database selection (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase), screening, data extraction, evidence synthesis (narrative, meta-analysis, thematic), and reporting. Use when planning or executing a formal literature review.Engineering★ 383
- research-with-sourcesinkeep/open-knowledgeInvestigate a topic against preserved sources and write a draft-status research article under `research/` in a Knowledge Base project (the `knowledge-base` starter pack). Read when asked to research a topic, compare options, synthesize sources, gather evidence, or extend an existing research doc. Carries the full procedure: scan existing coverage, agree a research rubric, capture every source verbatim before analyzing, write the article incrementally so a crash never loses work, cite every claim, and link it back into the graph. Does not promote findings to canonical knowledge — that is the sibling `consolidate-notes` skill, after a decision lands.Science★ 4.7K
