From the source SKILL.md

Research records the external evidence behind a decision: technology evaluations, library comparisons, industry-practice surveys. Research is dated, sourced, and append-only — a snapshot of what the evidence said at a point in time, not a living opinion.

What this skill does

Research Artifacts 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/research-artifacts/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when recording research output, structuring a docs/research/ session, enforcing source discipline (primary sources, vendor-COI flags, inference-vs-fact labels, confidence levels), or wiring the research → decision → issue traceable chain. Pairs with deep-research (which gathers/verifies the evidence) and living-docs (which owns the ADR/BDR/issue artifacts research feeds into).

Who uses this skill

The Research Artifacts Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Research Artifacts skill?
Use Research Artifacts when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the research methods area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Research Artifacts" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Research Artifacts skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Research Artifacts is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.
