What this skill does

Desk Research Project Status is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/desk-research-project-status/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
