Research & Knowledge Kit

Research with cited sources, deep-read papers into Markdown or Obsidian-style vaults, keep a living wiki, and hand work between sessions without losing context or project memory.

A setup for AI coding agents, made by Kitloom. One source, generated for every major agent: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin), opencode and Aider.

Install

1. Download this repository as a ZIP, or use the Check and download button on its Kitloom page, which checks it first.
2. Read the files. Nothing here runs on its own: the kit has no hooks and no install scripts.
3. Copy the folders and files you want into the root of your project. AGENTS.md is the shared instructions file; edit it to fit your project.

What is inside

Skills

• research — Investigate a question against primary sources and save the findings as a Markdown file in the repo.
• deeppapernote — Turn one paper (title, DOI, arXiv ID or PDF) into a polished deep-reading note in an Obsidian-style vault.
• wiki-ingest — Add a new raw source to the wiki: extract key facts, update pages and cross-references, log the change.
• wiki-query — Answer a question from the wiki with citations, and file valuable answers back as pages.
• wiki-lint — Periodically check the wiki for contradictions, stale claims, orphan pages and missing links.
• grounded-vault — Keep every number or quote in a compiled page traceable to an immutable source, with cheap drift detection.
• handoff — Compact the current conversation into a handoff document so another session or agent can continue.
• context-engineering — Set up rules and context files at session start, or when output quality degrades mid-task.
• neat-freak — At the end of a work stretch, reconcile project docs and rule files with what is actually true.
• retro — Run a short retrospective after a session and capture what to do differently next time.

Commands

Invoke by name (for example /start-research).

• start-research — Research a question from primary sources and write a cited findings note.
• write-handoff — Write a compact handoff note so a fresh session can continue the work.
• capture — Save a decision, fact or lesson from this session into the project memory notes.

Sub-agents

• source-reader — Delegate to read one long document or paper and return a faithful, cited summary without polluting the main context.
• vault-librarian — Delegate to audit the notes folder for broken links, orphan notes, duplicates and uncited claims.

Scoped rules

• cite-sources — Always on: every factual claim in research output names its source, and unverified claims are labelled.
• vault-notes — Conventions for Markdown notes, links and frontmatter in the notes, research and wiki folders.
• handoff-files — Format and hygiene for handoff and project-memory files.

Skills are stored twice (.agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/) because Claude Code reads only its own folder. Agents that read both may list a skill twice; delete the copy you do not need.

Use at your own risk

Read every file before you use it. Agent instructions can make an agent run commands on your machine. This kit was checked with Kitloom's pre-download check, which looks for warning signs but cannot prove anything is safe.
