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 Deep research with multi-source synthesis. Uses `multi-ai` skill for provider routing when available. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Determine Depth Use AskUserQuestion if depth is not specified: - **Quick**: Fast overview of key concepts (2-3 sources) - **Standard**: Comprehensive analysis with examples (5-8 sources) - **Deep**: Thorough research with citations and evidence (10+ sources) If the user provides `--depth`, skip the question. ### Step 2: Provider Routing - If `ARC_MULTI_AI=true` and providers are available, use multi-provider research via `multi-ai` skill. - Otherwise run Claude-only research with the same structure. ### Step 3: Multi-Source Synthesis Launch the `persona-research-synthesizer` agent with gathered context: ``` subagent_type: "arc:persona-research-synthesizer" run_in_background: true prompt: "Research topic: <topic>\nDepth: <depth>\nProviders: <available providers>" ``` Output a status message and end your turn. The system wakes you when the agent finishes. ### Step 4: Report Results ``` ## Research Complete **Topic**: <topic> **Depth**: <quick|standard|deep> **Sources Consulted**: <count> ### Key Findings [Structured findings with evidence] ### Compa

What does the research skill do?
Use when the user asks to research, investigate, compare approaches, or explore a topic in depth. Supports configurable depth and multi-source synthesis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-cmtkdot-arc --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.
