Researching Features
Use this whenever a user wants to add a new feature or explitly states to research a feature/API or building a plan for a new feature. It iterviews the user for feature details (if not provided), research the best API/service for their needs, confirm choice, then gather all implementation notes for their request and save them as a .claude/plans file.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill feature-research --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Feature Researcher ## Instructions Invoked when the user requests to research a feature, create a plan, or work on a big change such as a new feature: 1. **User Interview** - If the user's requirements are unclear, politely ask for more details (deatails on feature, free/paid API options, constraints). - If details are provided, proceed directly. 1. **Service & API Discovery** - Take the user's answers and consider them in your search - You MUST use `context7` to identify the APIs/services/libraries that best match the user's requirements. - DO NOT use `web_search` if `context7` is being used - Go with the top 3 options that the tools return/suggest 3. **User Confirmation** - Summarize every provider you found and suggest - After selecting the best API/service, briefly summarize your choice and reasons. - Ask the user to confirm before proceeding with implementation research. 4. **Implementation Notes Gathering** - Once confirmed, use context7 to retrieve official docs, key endpoints, authentication steps, usage patterns, and constraints for the selected API/service. - Structure your notes clearly around: - Have page and UI elements to be built first before backend functions etc

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill feature-research --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
