Questions, answered from the data.

What is the best research and science skill?

NotebookLM Research Assistant from PleasePrompto/notebooklm-skill ranks first of the 6,175 research and science skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 7.8k GitHub stars, 13 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 2.4k tokens and it has informational notes only in the automated safety check. Next come Exploratory Data Analysis and Hypothesis Generation.

Which research and science skills are official?

49 of the 6,175 research and science skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Hugging Face Paper Publisher, Docs Grounding Verifier, JS Perf Investigation, Physicsnemo Cfd Create Model Wrapper, Scientific Problem Selection and 44 more.

How are these skills ranked?

By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
