technical-researchTechnical spike and research investigation specialist. An agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace.
Technical Research is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Technical spike and research investigation specialist. Use when exploring options for a technical decision, conducting timeboxed investigations, or evaluating technology choices.
Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/technical-spike.template.md` and `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Prototyping. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Technical Research loads about 364 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 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.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 121 words (~364 tokens).
“Structured approach to technical spikes, proof of concepts, and technology evaluations.”

Technical Research fits situations like: exploring options for a technical decision; conducting timeboxed investigations; evaluating technology choices.
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill technical-research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/89jobrien/technical-research in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/technical-research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill technical-research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/89jobrien/technical-research in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/technical-research in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill technical-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/technical-research, .gemini/skills/technical-research, .github/skills/technical-research and .opencode/skills/technical-research in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Technical Research is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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. Review the folder before installing.
No licence was found for Technical Research or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
About 364 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 781 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Technical Research: Native Feel Cross Platform Desktop (yetone/native-feel-skill, 1.9k stars), Compound Engineering Prototype (EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin, 25k stars), Collaborating With Codex (GuDaStudio/collaborating-with-codex, 132 stars) and Digikey (aklofas/kicad-happy, 1.4k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
aiskillstore (a GitHub organization) maintains it in aiskillstore/marketplace, which has 430 GitHub stars. The repository holds 1,108 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
