advanced-topics
Explore advanced CS topics including advanced data structures, parallel computing, security, functional programming, and quantum computing.
user-research
User research methods, customer insight gathering, and problem validation for product discovery.
user-research
Master user research methods - interviews, surveys, personas, journey mapping, usability testing
comprehensive-research
Multi-phase research orchestration for thorough codebase, documentation, and external knowledge investigation. Invoked by /ai-eng/research command. Use when conducting deep analysis, exploring codebases, investigating patterns, or synthesizing findings from multiple sources.
technical-research
Explore ideas, validate concepts, and research broadly across technical, business, and market domains. Preliminary phase before discussion-specification-plan-implement-review workflow. Use when: (1) User has a new idea to explore, (2) Need to research a topic deeply, (3) Validating feasibility - technical, business, or market, (4) Learning and exploration without necessarily building anything, (5) User says 'research this' or 'explore this idea', (6) Brain dumping early thoughts before formal discussion. Creates research documents in docs/workflow/research/ that may seed the technical-discussion phase.
Getting Started with Research Superpowers
Introduction to literature search & review skills - systematic paper finding, screening, extraction, and citation traversal
zotero-mcp-code
Search Zotero library using code execution for efficient multi-strategy searches without crash risks. Use this skill when the user needs comprehensive Zotero searches with automatic deduplication and ranking.
feature-researching
Use when change proposal presented - follow structured research workflow to produce directive specification
design-research
Conducts user experience research and analysis to inform design decisions. Reviews first-party and third-party user data, analyzes industry trends from UX and visual design perspectives, and plans user research studies. Creates personas, customer segments, design principles, design roadmaps, and research discussion guides.
ctx:researcher
Efficiently research topics using parallel agents via Contextune's /ctx:research command. Use when users ask to research, investigate, find information about topics, compare options, or evaluate libraries/tools. Activate for questions like "research best X", "what's the best library for Y", or "investigate Z".
papi
Help with paper references using paperpipe (papi). Use when user asks about papers, wants to verify code against a paper, needs paper context for implementation, or asks about equations/methods from literature.
research
Use when needing to understand requirements before implementation. Gathers context from Jira, Confluence, codebase, and docs. Produces research document with confidence scoring.
web-research
Use when researching markets, analyzing competitors, comparing technologies, or finding case studies. Ensures all findings include credible sources and URLs.
