AI Research Skills Library is a collection of reusable instructions that guide AI agents through research and machine-learning engineering tasks, from finding ideas and writing papers to training, evaluation, and deployment. It is for configuring agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini to perform research workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

distributed-training scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

}What it installs
The manifest is a name and a version. 6 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 372 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.
What ships with it
1 file beside marketplace.json#distributed-training in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

distributed-training is a plugin published in the GitHub repository Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs (12,316 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

data-analytics
Data governance, warehouse and semantic modeling, business intelligence, and AI/ML governance.
medsci-modeling
Clinical AI model research engineering: choose a paper-grounded architecture, scaffold a reproducible PyTorch training repo, validate the model's split and validation design, document it (Model Card / Datasheet), and evaluate models or LLMs/MLLMs on clinical tasks. Integrates MONAI / nnU-Net, never replaces them.
medsci-data
Study design and validity review, literature-grounded variable operationalization, sample-size planning, data cleaning, de-identification, codebook generation, and dataset versioning.
geoai-skills
GeoAI-powered skills for Claude Code: inspect geospatial files, download satellite imagery, search STAC catalogs, fetch Overture Maps data, process rasters, run AI object detection, and search session logs.
rad-context-prompter
Write, debug, reverse-engineer, and migrate AI prompts — now including agentic loops and goal conditions. The prompt-engineering skill covers writing patterns and platform-specific shape (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex/AGENTS.md, image generators, agentic tools).
