research
Use when user invokes /research command with any source — URL, GitHub repo, YouTube video, podcast, Reddit post, academic paper, documentation page, product site, local file, or empty. Processes and indexes research materials with raw source preservation and topic-level synthesis coalescing. Do NOT use for quick factual questions — use /explain instead.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-harnessprotocol-harness-kit --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 Material Processing ## Overview Process research materials using **raw source preservation + synthesis**: raw sources in `resources/` (always), synthesized analysis in `research/[category]/`. **Core principles:** 1. **Raw content preservation is NON-NEGOTIABLE.** Enables verification, re-processing, and future RAG indexing. 2. **One synthesis per topic.** If you've already researched something about the same subject, update the existing synthesis rather than creating a parallel one. Multiple raw sources feed one synthesis document. ## When to Use User types `/research:` followed by: - **One or more sources** (comma-separated) → Extract and synthesize each - **File path** → Copy and synthesize - **Empty** → Audit for unsynthesized materials, then organize **Accepted source types** (the medium doesn't matter — process them all): | Medium | Examples | |--------|---------| | GitHub repository | `github.com/owner/repo` | | Documentation page | docs.temporal.io, readthedocs.io, /docs/ paths | | Product/marketing site | company homepages, feature pages | | Academic paper | arxiv.org, PDF URLs, DOIs | | Blog post / article | dev.to, Substack, Medium, personal sites | | Reddit po

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-harnessprotocol-harness-kit --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.
