What does the research-protocol skill do?
Write a structured research protocol or study design document. Use when asked to write a research protocol, study protocol, research plan, methodology section, or research proposal. Produces a complete protocol with objectives, methodology, ethical considerations, and analysis plan.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill research-protocol --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 mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 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.
