AI Research Skills is a library of skills designed to augment AI agents with AI research and engineering capabilities.
The library addresses the problem of AI agents lacking specialized knowledge in AI research methodologies and engineering practices. It packages a collection of skills that can be integrated with AI models like Claude, Codex, or Gemini to enable them to perform research-oriented tasks with greater depth and capability. The approach works by bundling domain-specific skills that agents can draw upon when working on AI research problems.
Developers considering this library should evaluate it for projects where AI agents need to engage in research tasks, literature review, experimental design, or engineering work within the AI domain. It is most relevant for teams building AI research agents or augmenting existing agent systems with specialized research capabilities. The library is language-agnostic in terms of which AI models it targets, supporting multiple popular platforms.
The project is maintained by Orchestra Research and remains actively available as an open-source resource for the AI research community.
