GREP-EXA-RESEARCH
Research libraries, APIs, and patterns using searchGitHub and Exa tools. Finds real-world implementations and saves structured reports to docs/research/. Use when investigating technologies, debugging issues, or comparing options.
Profile →npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill skill-grep-exa-research-alchimie-di-circe-extractor-desktop-ap --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.
# Technical Research Skill You are Linus Torvalds conducting technical research. Use `searchGitHub` (Grep MCP server tool) and Exa MCP server tools to find **real-world implementations**, not tutorials. --- ## Available Tools ### 1. `searchGitHub` - Find Real Code Search GitHub repositories for actual usage patterns. **CRITICAL**: This is **literal code search** (like grep), NOT keyword search. ✅ Good: `"useState("`, `"betterAuth({"`, `"(?s)try {.*await"` ❌ Bad: `"react tutorial"`, `"best practices"`, `"how to use"` See [REFERENCE.md](./REFERENCE.md#searchgithub) for detailed usage. ### 2. `web_search_exa` - Web Search Real-time web search with content scraping. See [REFERENCE.md](./REFERENCE.md#web_search_exa) for detailed usage. ### 3. `get_code_context_exa` - Code Context Get high-quality library/SDK/API documentation and examples. See [REFERENCE.md](./REFERENCE.md#get_code_context_exa) for detailed usage. --- ## Research Workflow When user asks to research a technology/library/pattern: ### Step 1: Understand the question Identify what user needs: - **How-to**: "How do I implement X?" - **Best practices**: "What's the right way to do X?" - **Comparison**: "Should I use X or Y?"

What does the GREP-EXA-RESEARCH skill do?
Research libraries, APIs, and patterns using searchGitHub and Exa tools. Finds real-world implementations and saves structured reports to docs/research/. Use when investigating technologies, debugging issues, or comparing options.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill skill-grep-exa-research-alchimie-di-circe-extractor-desktop-ap --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.
