AI is shifting from prompts to skills - reasoning that remembers how to work. We're building what comes next.

# Deep Research
When asked to research a topic:
1. Clarify the question with the user
2. Search academic sources
(see methods/academic.md)
3. Search industry reports
(see methods/industry.md)
4. Scan recent news
(see methods/news.md)
5. Synthesize into report
(see templates/report.md)
## When to stop and ask
- Topic is too broad
- Conflicting information found
- User's intent is unclearYou invoke the skill. AI loads the instructions, follows the steps, pulls in references as needed. Same quality every time. No re-explaining.
Prompts are one-off. Skills are infrastructure. Version-controlled, discoverable, composable. The difference between asking for help and deploying expertise at scale.
Skills have metadata. Names, descriptions, when to use them. AI knows which skill to load without you specifying every time.
Share with your team, publish for the world. Skills are files, not chat history buried in a conversation.
Skills reference other skills. Build complex capabilities from simple building blocks. Your expertise compounds.
We are building something new. Get early access and help shape the future of AI skills.
