Research source tools umbrella: arXiv paper search, local/LLM wiki knowledge bases, prediction-market queries such as Polymarket, and lightweight research source retrieval. Use when finding, querying, or synthesizing external research sources before writing or analysis.From its SKILL.md

Research Source Tools
Use this umbrella for source discovery and retrieval workflows. It does not replace deep-research methodology or full paper-writing guidance; it covers the concrete source tools.
arXiv
Use arXiv for academic paper discovery by keyword, author, category, or arXiv ID. Prefer tool/script queries that return title, authors, date, categories, abstract, and URL. For literature work, capture search terms and selection criteria so the synthesis is reproducible.
Local LLM wiki / markdown knowledge bases
Use LLM-wiki style workflows when the user has or wants an interlinked markdown knowledge base, especially for Karpathy-style LLM notes. Search local notes first when the answer may already exist; only go to web search after checking the KB.
Polymarket / prediction markets
Use Polymarket queries for markets, prices, order books, and historical price context. Treat market odds as a live, noisy signal rather than truth. Report timestamp, market slug/question, current prices, liquidity/volume if available, and caveats.
Source discipline
- Prefer primary sources when available.
- Record URLs/IDs/slugs in the final answer.
- Distinguish retrieved facts from model inference.
- For current markets or papers, rerun queries rather than relying on memory.
