ResearchStudio: Our AI co-author, from research problem to final publication.

About the project

ResearchStudio is a collection of skills that helps researchers develop an initial research direction into a paper and its related publication materials. It is used with Claude Code and Codex to create outputs such as papers, posters, videos, blogs, and reels. The catalogue entries are its own workflow skills for different stages of the research lifecycle.
