What it does

Omk Research is an agent skill from KaimingWan/oh-my-kiro. Multi-level research: built-in knowledge → web search → Tavily deep research API. Trigger when user says 'research', 'investigate', 'find out', 'compare', 'what is', 'how does X work', 'competitive analysis', 'market research', '@research', or needs information beyond the current codebase and knowledge base.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/research.sh`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Web search, Competitor analysis and Deep research. It works with Tavily. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

User says research
How does X work
Competitive analysis
Market research

Example prompts

“research”
“investigate”
“find out”
“/omk-research”

Requirements

A Bash shell
A credential in TAVILY_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Does this problem actually exist in the current codebase? Check existing solutions first.
Is the proposed fix feasible on all target platforms (Kiro + CC)? Check constraints.
Does the benefit outweigh the maintenance cost?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba228be. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- tavily.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- TAVILY_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Omk Research loads about 827 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~827

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

The full file from KaimingWan/oh-my-kiro at commit ba228be, republished under its MIT licence (© KaimingWan). 264 words, ~827 tokens.

Download SKILL.mdSave it as .claude/skills/omk-research/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.

name: omk-research
description: Multi-level research: built-in knowledge → web search → Tavily deep research API. Trigger when user says 'research', 'investigate', 'find out', 'compare', 'what is', 'how does X work', 'competitive analysis', 'market research', '@research', or needs information beyond the current codebase and knowledge base.

Trigger Examples

"@research AutoMQ vs Confluent 对比"
"帮我调研一下这个库怎么用"
"find out how competitors handle this"
"what's the best practice for X in 2026?"
"compare these three approaches"

Research Skill — Multi-Level Search

Search Level Strategy

Always use the lowest level that can answer the question:

Level	Tool	Use Case	Cost
0	Built-in knowledge	Common concepts, basics	Free
1	`web_search`	Quick verification, simple queries	Free
2	Tavily Research API	Deep research, competitive analysis	API credits

Rule: If Level 0 or 1 can answer it, don't use Level 2.

Don't need research: Common knowledge, already in knowledge/, answerable from built-in knowledge.

Level 2: Tavily Research API

Prerequisites

Get your API key at https://tavily.com (1000 free credits/month)

Set environment variable:

bash

export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-your-key-here"

Or add to your agent config:

json

{
  "env": {
    "TAVILY_API_KEY": "tvly-your-key-here"
  }
}

Usage

bash

./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "your research query"}' [output_file]

# Quick research
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "quantum computing trends"}'

# Deep research
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "AI agents comparison", "model": "pro"}'

# Save to file
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "market analysis", "model": "pro"}' ./report.md

Model Selection

Model	Use Case	Speed
`mini`	Single topic, targeted	~30s
`pro`	Multi-angle, comprehensive	~60-120s
`auto`	API chooses based on complexity	Varies

Rule of thumb: "what does X do?" → mini. "X vs Y vs Z" → pro.

Structured Output

bash

./scripts/research.sh '{
  "input": "fintech startups 2025",
  "model": "pro",
  "output_schema": {
    "properties": {
      "summary": {"type": "string", "description": "Executive summary"},
      "companies": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}
    },
    "required": ["summary"]
  }
}'

Citation Formats

Supported: numbered (default), mla, apa, chicago

bash

./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "climate impacts", "citation_format": "apa"}'

Post-Research 沉淀 Checkpoint

After completing research, before writing findings or recommendations:

Socratic validation (mandatory for each recommendation/gap/optimization):

Does this problem actually exist in the current codebase? Check existing solutions first.
Is the proposed fix feasible on all target platforms (Kiro + CC)? Check constraints.
Does the benefit outweigh the maintenance cost?

If any answer is "no" → drop that recommendation. Don't include it in findings.

Then persist:

Record validated findings in docs/plans/findings.md (if working on a plan)
If findings reveal reusable patterns → write to knowledge/episodes.md
Cite sources with URLs — no hallucinated references
