# Research Council Skill ## Purpose Orchestrate parallel research across multiple sources without the full Architecture Council process. Used when you need comprehensive research from different angles but don't need architectural debate and synthesis. ## When to Use | Use Research Council | Use Architecture Council | |---------------------|-------------------------| | Pure information gathering | Architectural decisions | | Multiple search queries | Design tradeoff analysis | | External standards research | Specification writing | | Quick multi-angle investigation | ADR creation | | Technology evaluation | System design | ## Council Composition | Agent | Query Focus | MCP | |-------|-------------|-----| | **Internal Oracle** | Codebase patterns | Grep, Glob, Read | | **Docs Oracle** | Effect documentation | deepwiki | | **Standards Oracle** | Industry standards | exa, playwright | | **Community Oracle** | Best practices, examples | exa | ## Protocol ### Phase 1: Query Definition Define parallel research queries: ``` 1. Internal: "How does our codebase handle X?" 2. Docs: "What does Effect documentation say about X?" 3. Standards: "What industry standards apply to X?" 4. Community:

What does the research-council skill do?
Lightweight parallel research orchestration without full council debate. Spawns oracle agents with different queries, collects findings, synthesizes report.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-council --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.
