research-repo-setup
Set up a research repository the team actually reuses — the atomic-insight format (finding + evidence + source + date), the tagging that makes old research findable by new questions, and the check-the-repo-first norm that stops re-researching. Use when asked set up a research repository, we keep re-learning the same things, where do our user insights live, or make past research findable. Produces the repo structure, the insight-entry format, the intake funnel from studies, and the reuse norms.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Research Repo Setup Skill Teams pay for the same research repeatedly: the churn interviews from last year answer this quarter's question, but they live in a deck nobody remembers, so the question gets re-studied at full price. The repo fixes the *unit* — not "studies" (monolithic decks that answer only their original question) but **atomic insights**: one finding + its evidence + source + date + tags, individually findable by future questions the original study never anticipated. Around the unit: an intake funnel (every study deposits its insights while fresh) and the reuse norm (research requests start with a repo check), because a repo consulted by nobody is a very organized graveyard. ## What This Skill Produces - **The repo structure** — where it lives (searchable > beautiful), the insight-entry format, the study-index layer - **The atomic format** — finding (one sentence) · evidence (the support, with its n) · source study + date · tags · confidence - **The intake funnel** — the end-of-study deposit ritual ([interview-synthesis](../interview-synthesis/SKILL.md) themes flow in directly) - **The reuse norms** — repo-check-first on new research requests, and the citation habit

What does the research-repo-setup skill do?
Set up a research repository the team actually reuses — the atomic-insight format (finding + evidence + source + date), the tagging that makes old research findable by new questions, and the check-the-repo-first norm that stops re-researching. Use when asked set up a research repository, we keep re-learning the same things, where do our user insights live, or make past research findable. Produces the repo structure, the insight-entry format, the intake funnel from studies, and the reuse norms.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill research-repo-setup --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.
