Github Skill Research

GitHub Skill Research

Research reusable AI-agent skill patterns from real repositories and primary documentation.

Workflow

1. Define the research target

• Identify whether the user wants structure, trigger logic, workflow design, operating rules, examples, portability, or repository organization.
• If the target is unclear, make a narrow useful assumption and state it.

1. Search sources

• Prioritize real repositories with SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, prompt libraries, workflow playbooks, or MCP/tooling examples.
• Prefer official documentation and maintained repositories over generic blog advice.
• Include thananon/9arm-skills as a useful comparison point when evaluating concise skill structure.

1. Analyze examples

• Extract frontmatter style, trigger descriptions, workflow steps, output formats, safety rules, bundled resources, and repo layout.
• Identify whether each pattern is portable across agents or tied to one tool.

1. Compare against the user's repo

• Mark patterns to copy, adapt, skip, or keep private.
• Call out duplication, overbroad skills, stale instructions, and missing validation.

1. Produce recommendations

• Respond in the user's language.
• Include links or local file paths.
• Keep templates short enough to install or edit immediately.
