What it says it does

This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I have an idea for a project", "I'm stuck on my research", "help me evaluate this project", "what should I work on", or "I need strategic advice about my research".

Every number above came out of reading the file and its repository. Nothing is a judgement call, nothing is a model’s opinion, and nothing can be paid for. The full method is published. Source last committed 2026-08-21.

Put this measurement in your README

A badge carrying how many listings this index holds from the repository and how many pass every static structural check. It reads from this index every time somebody loads your page, so it changes when the measurement changes and there is nothing to keep up to date. Free, no account, and the value is not something you or we can set by hand.

SkillWorks badge

[![SkillWorks](https://toolproof.kynth.studio/badge/skillworks/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.svg)](https://skillworks.kynth.studio/?q=anthropics%2Fknowledge-work-plugins)

Would rather not hotlink us? Every badge is also served in shields.io’s endpoint schema, so shields renders the image and your readers never talk to our domain:

Published by Toolproof, the masthead over this index and eight others. The method behind the number is at toolproof.kynth.studio/methodology, and the whole thing is readable as JSON with no key at /api.

One product, taken apart, once a month

Kynth Studios pulls one shipped product open every month — what it does, what it cost to build, what the pipeline behind it looks like, and what the numbers did. One email a month, nothing in between.

Double opt-in — we send one confirmation link and nothing else until you click it.
