Research Catalog

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods  ·  Last updated:
Whenever you do real external research (WebFetch, WebSearch, or Explore-agent fetches of URLs outside the repo), catalog it in docs/research/ before sending the synthesis back to the user. Credits the sources, captures the findings, and creates a traceable link from the decision back to the evidence.

From the source SKILL.md

External research is someone else's work. The papers, blog posts, vendor docs, and open-source projects we lean on were written by named humans (or named orgs), and the project owes them three things: visible credit, a usable citation back, and a record of which decision their work informed. This skill is the way the project pays that debt.

What this skill does

Research Catalog 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-catalog/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Research Catalog 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 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
