What it does

Technical Research is an agent skill from skuramatata/my-pi-agent. Use when the task is exploratory and needs a structured comparison or recommendation: 技术调研、方案对比、选型、tradeoff、research、深度分析、可行性评估、next step 建议。

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development.

When your agent uses it

  • The task is exploratory and needs a structured comparison
  • Recommendation: 技术调研、方案对比、选型、tradeoff、research、深度分析、可行性评估、next step 建议

Example prompts

  • “/technical-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Frame the decision.
  2. Gather evidence.
  3. Compare a small set of real options.
  4. Recommend one path.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed83ff1. 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

    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.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Technical Research loads about 337 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~337

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 162 words (~337 tokens).

“Use this skill when we need to compare options, not just describe one tool.”
