Transparent, rigorous research with full methodology — not a black-box API wrapper. Conducts exhaustive investigation through mandated 2-cycle research per theme, APA 7th citations, evidence hierarchy, and 3 user checkpoints. Self-contained using native OpenClaw tools (web_search, web_fetch, sessions_spawn). Use for literature reviews, competitive intelligence, or any research requiring academic rigor and reproducibility.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Initial engagement: ask 2–3 clarifying questions and confirm understanding.

    line 23

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Academic Deep Research 🔬

When to Use

Native tools: web_search, web_fetch, sessions_spawn

Trigger this skill when the user wants:

  • Deep research, exhaustive analysis, or literature review
  • Multi-source verification and evidence hierarchies
  • Academic-style reports with citations

Required Stop Points

  1. Initial engagement: ask 2–3 clarifying questions and confirm understanding.
  2. Research plan: present themes, steps, and deliverables; wait for approval.
  3. Final report: deliver full narrative report with citations.

Minimum Requirements

  • Two full research cycles per theme.
  • Analyze between every tool call.
  • Multiple sources per claim; contradictions addressed.
  • APA 7th in-text citations and reference list.
  • Narrative-only final report (no lists or tables).

References

  • reference/protocol.md — research phases, tool order, and analysis rules
  • reference/writing-style.md — narrative constraints and phase formatting
  • reference/citations-apa.md — citation rules and examples
  • reference/report-template.md — required report structure
  • reference/error-handling.md — gaps, contradictions, failures
  • reference/quality-standards.md — evidence hierarchy and confidence levels
  • reference/parallel-research.md — sessions_spawn workflow
  • quickref.md — short checklist
  • example.md — sample usage

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
