Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add ai4s-research/ai4s-skills
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add ai4s-research/ai4s-skills --skill ai4s-agent — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/ai4s-research/ai4s-skillscp -r "ai4s-skills/skills/ai4s-agent" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the ai4s-agent skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add ai4s-research/ai4s-skills
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
ai4s-agent
Use when the user wants an end-to-end AI4S research pipeline — broad direction or specific topic in, full research package out (exploration + literature survey + experiment + paper). Meta-skill that chains the four downstream skills in order. Pure markdown, no Python runtime.
skills/ai4s-agent/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
experiment-suite
Use when the user has a research question and needs a complete experiment package — design document, runnable code, results (measured or simulated with honest provenance), publication-grade figures, structured report. Single-stage, no Python runtime.
skills/experiment-suite/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
integrity-auditor
Use when the user wants a paper audited for integrity issues — image misuse, numerical anomalies, logical gaps — and needs a reviewable evidence report. Works on external papers (PDF / DOI / arXiv) and on outputs from a local paper-writer run. Single-stage skill.
skills/integrity-auditor/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
literature-survey
Use when the user wants a comprehensive literature survey on a specific research topic. Outputs a complete PDF survey (6–20 pages, 60+ real citations, 100+ recommended) with LaTeX source, topic-specific publication figures, and a classified literature table. Single-stage, no Python runtime.

mindmap-render
Generate beautiful, high-resolution mindmaps from Markdown unordered lists. Outputs interactive HTML, HD PNG, and PDF with colorful branch themes.
skills/mindmap-render/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-writer
Use when the user wants a complete, publication-grade research paper on a specific topic — produces 200+ real citations, 4–8 publication-grade figures, and 7 sections of substantive prose compiled to PDF in one pass. No skeleton stage.
skills/paper-writer/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
research-explorer
Use when the user has a vague research direction and wants to explore feasible specific topics. Outputs a structured analysis with candidate topics, innovation/feasibility scoring, and a pre-survey of 20–30 representative works. Single-stage, no Python runtime.
skills/research-explorer/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
