What is it?

AI Research Skills is a collection of markdown-based skill packs for coding agents. Each skill documents a specific AI framework or research stage, such as fine-tuning with Axolotl or LLaMA-Factory, RL post-training with TRL and GRPO, serving with vLLM or SGLang, or quantization with GPTQ and AWQ. The skills are grouped into 23 categories covering model architecture, distributed training, evaluation, RAG, multimodal models, and MLOps.

The library also includes an autoresearch skill that acts as an orchestration layer. It is meant to manage a research workflow from literature survey and ideation through experiments to paper writing, and to route work to the domain skills as needed. Two demo papers in the repository were produced end to end by agents using this skill.

Installation is through an interactive npm command or a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The installer detects supported agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Codex, and links the skills into each one.

Key features

  • 01Covers 98 skills across 23 categories, from fine-tuning and inference to evaluation and RAG.
  • 02Includes an autoresearch orchestration skill that routes research tasks to domain skills.
  • 03Installs with one npm command and detects supported coding agents automatically.
  • 04Also available through the Claude Code plugin marketplace, installable by category.
  • 05Each skill includes a SKILL.md quick reference plus deeper reference documents.

Use cases

  • Giving a coding agent working knowledge of frameworks such as vLLM, TRL or DeepSpeed before a training or serving task.
  • Running a multi-stage AI research project where an agent handles literature survey, experiments and paper drafting.
  • Looking up a quick reference for a specific ML tool when choosing between alternatives in a category.
