Quickstart: use your first research skill
Start with one task and one skill. You can add more after you see how your agent uses it.1
Install citation verification
In a project with a bibliography, run:The skills.sh installer lets you select an agent harness. It installs into this project by default;
use
--global if you want the skill available across projects. Restart your agent if it was open
during installation.2
Try a real research task
Open your agent in the project and ask:
Verify every reference in refs.bib. Separate confirmed, mismatched and unverified entries,
and show the scholarly record used for each decision.
Replace refs.bib with your own reference file. Check the cited records before using the
result in a manuscript; a missing match is not proof that a paper does not exist.3
Add skills for your field
List every available skill, then pick another one that matches your next task:See skills by discipline for starting points in ML, AI, biology, chemistry,
medicine and physics, or browse all 281 skills.
More first tasks
The agent normally selects a skill from your task. You can name the skill when you want to be explicit.
