Use this when the user asks to research something current, compare options, enrich people or companies, or turn repeated lookups into a monitored workflow.
This is the operator wrapper around the repo's research stack. It is not a replacement for deep-research, exa-search, or market-research; it tells you when and how to use them together.
Pull these ECC-native skills into the workflow when relevant:
exa-search for fast current-web discoverydeep-research for multi-source synthesis with citationsmarket-research when the end result should be a recommendation or ranked decisionlead-intelligence when the task is people/company targeting instead of generic researchknowledge-ops when the result should be stored in durable context afterwardNormalize any supplied material into:
Do not restart the analysis from zero if the user already built part of the model.
Choose the right lane before searching:
exa-search for fast discoverydeep-research when synthesis or multiple sources mattermarket-research when the outcome should end in a recommendationlead-intelligence when the real ask is target ranking or warm-path discoveryFor important claims, say whether they are:
Freshness-sensitive answers should include concrete dates.
If the user is likely to ask the same research question repeatedly, say so explicitly and recommend a monitoring or workflow layer instead of repeating the same manual search forever.

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 22 cases were attempted, and 16 counted toward the lift figure. The other 6 produced results that are not comparable between the two arms, so they are excluded from the headline rather than averaged into it. The headline lift of +50 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 16 comparable cases. 6 cases got worse with the skill loaded, and they are included in that figure.
The per-case answers from this run were removed by the retention sweep, so the case table below shows the verdicts without the text either arm produced. The counts above were recorded at the time and are unaffected. Answers are now kept for 180 days.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
