Overview

About This Skill

Co-Researcher is a professional research suite that automates academic research workflows using specialized PhD-level agents. It provides intelligent orchestration across literature review, critical analysis, quantitative analysis, and hypothesis testing—coordinating multi-agent workflows to produce rigorous, integrated research findings. The tool includes 16 specialized skills governed by Systemic Honesty principles, covering systematic reviews, ethics compliance, grant writing, and research synthesis. Compatible with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, and OpenCode, it supports interactive, automated, and plan-only execution modes with pre-configured templates for quick, rigorous, or comprehensive research approaches.

How to Use

Install via your platform's plugin marketplace: Claude Code slash commands (/plugin install), Gemini CLI extension install, or Codex/OpenCode via their respective installers. Run /research with your topic to trigger intelligent agent orchestration, or use --template flags (quick/rigorous/comprehensive) for preset research approaches. Interactive mode requires plan approval before execution.

Use Cases

Conducting systematic literature reviews with automated methodology validation

Academic research project planning with multi-agent orchestration

Grant proposal development with funding strategy guidance

Critical analysis of research studies for bias and methodological flaws
