research
Web research skill for augmenting agent context with current information. Used when outdated information could lead to broken implementations or wasted effort.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-krosebrook-source-of-truth-mono --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 ## Core Philosophy Research when **getting it right matters**. When current information saves hours of debugging, ensures secure implementations, or guides you to the right abstraction—research first. ## Natural Triggers Clear signals that research is needed: - Hitting an error that smells like an API change - Implementing something security-critical (auth, payments, file handling) - Making architecture decisions you'll live with for months - Working with libraries you know evolve rapidly - That moment of "wait, is this still how we do this?" ## Two Modes ### Quick Check **When:** Mid-flow verification **Time:** Under a minute **Examples:** - "Is `useEffect` still the way to handle this in React 18?" - "Did Stripe change their webhook payload?" - "What's the current Node LTS version?" Just search, grab the answer, keep coding. No storage, no ceremony, no permission needed. ### Deep Dive **When:** The decision really matters **Time:** 5-15 minutes **Examples:** - Choosing between competing technologies - Understanding a new architectural pattern - Debugging something that doesn't match documentation **Always ask first**: "This needs deeper research (5-15 min). Should I di

What does the research skill do?
Web research skill for augmenting agent context with current information. Used when outdated information could lead to broken implementations or wasted effort.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-krosebrook-source-of-truth-mono --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.
