research-architect-intake
Use when starting or resuming a Research Architect project—including an existing draft that needs review—and you need to capture target reference papers, project materials, constraints, verification status, and the next deliverable.
npx skills add mmTheBest/Research-Architect --skill research-architect-intake --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 Architect Intake Create the smallest reliable starting record. Ask only for information that changes the next research decision. ## Minimum intake Collect: 1. the topic, raw idea, research question, or existing draft; 2. the desired outcome and immediate deliverable; 3. accessible target reference papers and the research functions the user wants to learn from; 4. available notes, data, results, sources, code, drafts, and displays; 5. time, access, ethics, privacy, methods, and resource constraints; 6. whether sources are local, specified by path, or retrieved from the web; and 7. recurring terms, abbreviations, datasets, cohorts, models, conditions, metrics, or other objects whose names or versions may be ambiguous; and 8. `adaptation_depth`: `guided`, `standard`, or `deep`. ## Target-reference record For each target reference, record: | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `source_id` | Stable source ID | | `path_or_identifier` | Local path, DOI, URL, or repository location | | `role` | `primary_exemplar`, `secondary_exemplar`, `method_reference`, or `citation_source` | | `user_target_reason` | Strength the user wants to learn from | | `desired_similarity` | Research functions

What does the research-architect-intake skill do?
Use when starting or resuming a Research Architect project—including an existing draft that needs review—and you need to capture target reference papers, project materials, constraints, verification status, and the next deliverable.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mmTheBest/Research-Architect --skill research-architect-intake --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 mmTheBest/Research-Architect, a repository with 67 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.
