What Research Skills is
Research Skills is a plugin published in the borghei/Claude-Skills repository on GitHub, which has about 834 stars. The repository describes itself as: “372 AI skills, 76 expert agents, and 867 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, and research. Installs on Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, and 6 other AI assistants.”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Research Skills adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
