Research skills

Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

pyfixest

Fast high-dimensional fixed effects: OLS, Poisson, IV with multi-way FE; DiD (TWFE, did2s, Sun-Abraham); clustered SEs; etable/coefplot/iplot. Use for FE regressions or DiD. For panel RE/between use linearmodels; for GLM without FE use statsmodels. R equivalent: fixest (use when execution language is R).

ghtkn-design

Understand how ghtkn works internally and how its tokens compare to alternatives. Use to explain the token workflow, compare with GitHub CLI OAuth / fine-grained PAT / installation tokens, or discuss API rate limits.

algo-ad-gsp

Implement Generalized Second Price auction for ad slot allocation and pricing. Use this skill when the user needs to understand search ad auctions, compute ad positions and costs-per-click, or analyze bidding dynamics — even if they say 'how does Google Ads auction work', 'ad rank calculation', or 'second price auction for ads'.

algo-blockchain-basics

Explain blockchain fundamentals including distributed ledger architecture, consensus mechanisms, and block structure. Use this skill when the user needs to understand blockchain concepts, evaluate whether blockchain fits a use case, or design a blockchain-based solution — even if they say 'how does blockchain work', 'do I need blockchain', or 'distributed ledger'.

algo-risk-benford

Apply Benford's Law to detect anomalies in numerical datasets by analyzing first-digit frequency distributions. Use this skill when the user needs to audit financial data for fraud indicators, validate data integrity, or detect fabricated numbers — even if they say 'data manipulation detection', 'first digit test', or 'accounting fraud screening'.

grad-action-research

Apply action research through Plan-Act-Observe-Reflect cycles and Participatory Action Research (PAR) to generate knowledge while improving practice. Use this skill when the user needs to design practitioner research that integrates inquiry with intervention, facilitate participatory research with stakeholders, structure iterative improvement cycles, or when they ask 'how do I research my own practice', 'how do I involve participants as co-researchers', or 'how do I combine research with practical change'.

grad-cas

Apply Complex Adaptive Systems theory to analyze phenomena exhibiting emergence, self-organization, co-evolution, and edge-of-chaos dynamics. Use this skill when the user needs to understand why a system behaves unpredictably despite known components, model agent-based interactions that produce emergent outcomes, analyze fitness landscapes, or when they ask 'why does this system behave in ways no one designed', 'how do local interactions create global patterns', or 'why do small changes sometimes cause massive system shifts'.

grad-case-study

Apply case study research design (Yin) to investigate how and why questions within real-life contexts using single or multiple case designs and triangulation. Use this skill when the user needs to choose between single and multiple case designs, apply holistic versus embedded units of analysis, triangulate evidence from multiple sources, or when they ask 'how should I structure a case study', 'single or multiple cases', or 'how do I ensure validity in case research'.

grad-critical-realism

Apply Bhaskar's critical realism to analyze phenomena through three ontological domains (real, actual, empirical), identify generative causal mechanisms via retroduction, and examine structure-agency interplay. Use this skill when the user needs to go beyond surface correlations to underlying causes, design research that distinguishes mechanisms from events from experiences, or when they ask 'what causes this beyond the observed pattern', 'what structures enable or constrain this behavior', or 'how do I move from correlation to causal explanation'.

grad-cultivation

Apply cultivation theory (Gerbner) to analyze how long-term media exposure shapes worldviews. Use this skill when the user needs to study cumulative media effects on audience beliefs, evaluate mainstreaming and resonance phenomena, or assess how media consumption patterns correlate with perceptions of social reality — even if they say 'does watching news make people more fearful', 'how does media shape worldview', or 'mean world syndrome'.
