Curated Skills for Researchers
One best pick per category. No decision fatigue — just install and go.
Security
Scan skills before installing — protect against prompt injection and supply chain attacks
skill-vetter
Security vetting checklist for AI agent skills. 4-step protocol: source authentication, code review with explicit rejection criteria, permission scope evaluation, and risk classification (low → extreme). No code, no dependencies — just a battle-tested review process.
Install this first. Before downloading any third-party skill, run it through this 4-step vetting checklist. 3,000+ downloads on ClawHub. Especially important for corporate networks or sensitive data environments.
scRNA-seq Analysis

autoresearch
End-to-end autonomous AI research pipeline: literature survey → experiment → paper. Two-loop architecture for overnight runs. Best for ML/AI research experiments.
Academic Writing
Paper drafting, LaTeX, and format conversionacademic-pipeline
10-stage academic writing pipeline: research → draft → peer review → revise → finalize. Multi-perspective review with 0-100 rubrics. Outputs APA 7.0, IEEE, or Chicago format.
latex-paper-conversion
Convert academic LaTeX papers between publisher formats: Springer → MDPI, IEEE → Nature, etc. Automates template injection and compilation debugging.
Citation & Reference
BibTeX, DOI lookup, and anti-hallucination verificationcitation-management
Multi-source citation tool: Google Scholar + PubMed + CrossRef + arXiv. DOI/PMID/arXiv ID to BibTeX. Validates citations to prevent AI-fabricated references.
Ideation & Novelty Check
Generate research ideas and verify novelty against literature
ARIS /idea-discovery
Full autonomous pipeline: literature scan → idea creation → novelty check → peer review → iterative refinement. From a topic to a validated, pilot-tested research plan.
ARIS /novelty-check
Verify if your research idea is truly novel. Extracts 3-5 core claims, searches each independently, then runs adversarial cross-model review to probe blind spots.
