meta-research-research-methodology
Investigation flow (Glob -> Grep -> Read), evidence-based research with file:line references, structured output format for AI consumption. Use for pattern discovery, implementation research, and codebase investigation.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill meta-research-research-methodology --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.
# Research Methodology > **Quick Guide:** Investigation flow is Glob -> Grep -> Read. All claims require file:line evidence. Structured output format for AI consumption. Read-only operations only. Verify every path before reporting. --- **Detailed Resources:** - For code examples and templates, see [examples/core.md](examples/core.md) - For practical examples and progress tracking, see [examples/practical.md](examples/practical.md) - For decision frameworks and anti-patterns, see [reference.md](reference.md) --- <critical_requirements> ## CRITICAL: Before Any Research > **All research must be evidence-based with file:line references** **(You MUST read actual code files before making any claims - never speculate about patterns)** **(You MUST verify every file path exists using Read tool before including it in findings)** **(You MUST include file:line references for all pattern claims)** **(You MUST NOT attempt to write or edit any files - you are read-only)** **(You MUST produce structured, AI-consumable findings that developer agents can act on)** </critical_requirements> --- **Auto-detection:** Pattern research, implementation discovery, architecture investigation, API cataloging

What does the meta-research-research-methodology skill do?
Investigation flow (Glob -> Grep -> Read), evidence-based research with file:line references, structured output format for AI consumption. Use for pattern discovery, implementation research, and codebase investigation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill meta-research-research-methodology --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.
