Claude Code: use the complete research methods

English | 简体中文

Install

With Git and the client ready, run from your project root. If the destination already exists, use the update guide.

git clone --depth 1 -c core.longpaths=true https://github.com/rrrrrredy/research-toolkit.git .claude/skills/research-toolkit

Start Claude Code in this project and invoke /research-toolkit. Claude web chat and Cowork have different loading rules; use the file/text route there. Official skill requirements.

core.longpaths applies to this Git checkout and prevents long-path checkout failures on Windows.

Try it

Use research-toolkit.
Read .claude/skills/research-toolkit/SKILL.md.
Research question: [Question, audience and intended use.]
Scope and length: [Coverage, information cutoff and expected depth.]
Existing material: [Sources, files or an existing report.]
Load the complete methods as needed and develop the evidence, comparisons,
mechanisms and synthesis. Deliver the complete report with usable citations;
preserve sources and full analysis for handoff; organize independent review, audit and acceptance through the host.

Use the host’s native subagents for production, assembly, independent content review, audit and acceptance. They use the host’s existing model access, without separate API configuration. Share current requirements and original materials, and retain full handoffs.

The shared research guide provides a complete request and setup details.

If it does not load

Run this from the same project directory:

git -C .claude/skills/research-toolkit status --short

No output means the checkout is clean; a path error means the command is running from the wrong directory or the clone failed. Changes may indicate missing or edited files—preserve your edits before updating. If files exist but the skill is absent, reopen the project/session and check the host’s skill settings. You can also ask the agent to read the installed SKILL.md by its exact path. All input methods and limits.
