What it does
Research Merge is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Processes research branches from Claude Code Web sessions - merges content, moves docs to docs/research/, and creates GitHub issues. Use when /popkit:next detects research branches or when manually processing research from mobile sessions. Do NOT use for regular feature branches - only for branches matching claude/research- or containing research documentation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/detect_conflicts.py`, `scripts/merge_findings.py` and `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Development. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- /popkit:next detects research branches
- Manually processing research from mobile sessions
- Regular feature branches - only for branches matching claude/research-
- Containing research documentation
Example prompts
- “Use the research-merge skill to process research branches from Claude Code Web sessions - merges content, moves docs to docs/research/, and creates…”
- “/research-merge”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect Research Branches

- Summary Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
claude.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Research Merge loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 293 words (~1,929 tokens).
“Handles the complete workflow for processing research branches created during Claude Code Web sessions:”

Processes research branches from Claude Code Web sessions - merges content, moves docs to docs/research/, and creates GitHub issues.
When should I use Research Merge?
Research Merge fits situations like: /popkit:next detects research branches; manually processing research from mobile sessions; regular feature branches - only for branches matching claude/research-; containing research documentation.
How do I install Research Merge in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill research-merge -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/jrc1883/research-merge in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/research-merge in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Research Merge in Codex?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill research-merge -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/jrc1883/research-merge in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/research-merge in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Research Merge in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill research-merge -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/research-merge, .gemini/skills/research-merge, .github/skills/research-merge and .opencode/skills/research-merge in your project.
What does Research Merge need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Research Merge needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git and gh). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Research Merge access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: claude.ai; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Research Merge safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Research Merge use?
No licence was found for Research Merge or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Research Merge use?
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Research Merge?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Research Merge: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Greploop (onyx-dot-app/onyx, 32k stars), Check PR (onyx-dot-app/onyx, 32k stars) and Setup Matt Pocock Skills (bestofjs/bestofjs, 3.1k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
