Research and compare the Stateless Agent Methodology (SAM) against other methodologies using only verifiable reference material. Produce overlap/divergence analysis that is useful for comparing strategy, methodologies, and potential implementations, and for identifying weaknesses in the current SAM methodology while changes are still cheap. Creates structured comparison documents following the SAM comparison template, including terminology normalization + attribution notes.

Installing & verifying

Installing Research And Compare writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/research-and-compare/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — research-and-compare should appear by name.

What Research And Compare needs to run

External services: The SKILL.md references pricing, quota, or rate limits — it likely calls a paid or rate-limited API. Check the source before wiring it into unattended automation.
Worked code: 7 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth: ~2,961 words, substantial — top of the catalog distribution.

When to reach for it
