## Installation

### Claude Code

This repo is both the plugin and its own marketplace. Add the marketplace once, then install:

```bash
/plugin marketplace add vadym-khodak/researcher-skills
/plugin install researcher-skills@researcher-skills
```

All skills then load automatically in every project. The multi-perspective review workflows live in `workflows/` — copy or symlink them into `~/.claude/workflows/` to make them resolvable globally by name:

```bash
ln -sf "$(pwd)/workflows/review-paper.js" ~/.claude/workflows/review-paper.js
ln -sf "$(pwd)/workflows/review-paper-file.js" ~/.claude/workflows/review-paper-file.js
```

### Codex CLI

```bash
/plugins
```

Search for `researcher-skills` and select **Install Plugin**.

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/vadym-khodak/researcher-skills
```

## Usage

Skills trigger automatically based on context — no manual activation needed. Just describe what you need in natural language and the relevant skill will activate.
