The Best Claude Code & Codex Skillsfor Academic Research

One of the most-starred Claude Code skill suites for academic research (37k+ stars as of July 2026) — a research → write → review → revise → finalize pipeline with citation integrity gates built in.

A 148-skill library (as of July 2026) that turns any AI agent into a research assistant for biology, chemistry, medicine, and drug discovery — with unified access to 100+ scientific databases.

Let Claude Code run ML research overnight — idea discovery, GPU experiments, and a cross-model adversarial review loop with GPT-5.6-Sol that scored a real paper from 5.0/10 to 7.5/10 across 20+ autonomous experiments.

A 98-skill open-source library (as of July 2026) that turns Claude Code (or Codex, Gemini CLI, and other coding agents) into an AI/ML research agent — covering fine-tuning, distributed training, inference serving, evaluation, RAG, and paper writing, orchestrated end to end by an autoresearch layer.

Claude Scholar is a semi-automated research assistant for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, and OpenCode — routing ideation, literature, experiments, and writing through a traceable question-to-writing pipeline, with Zotero and Obsidian integration.

A 1,150-skill catalog across 69 vendored collections for empirical social-science research — econometrics, causal inference, replication, and manuscript writing, routed by task rather than read all at once.

Codex Claude Academic Skills bundles three Chinese-first skills — paper writing, academic Office document generation, and scientific computing — that run identically in Claude Code and Codex.

An offline-first desktop LaTeX workspace built on Claude — local file storage, embedded Tectonic compilation, and 100+ installable scientific skills.

A 554-skill library built exclusively for medical and biomedical researchers, covering evidence discovery, protocol design, omics analysis, clinical statistics, and manuscript writing — every skill audited before release.

A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics — Beamer/Quarto slides, R data analysis, and manuscript review, run through 18 specialist agents and quality gates.

A two-skill Claude Code framework — strategist plans, composer writes — for philosophy and interdisciplinary papers, gated by a 7-dimension, 35-point reviewer simulation before a single word of prose is drafted.

Paper Craft Skills turns an arXiv link or PDF into publication-grade method figures, visual slide decks, and deep-dive articles — zero config, one command, no API keys.

A four-skill Claude Code toolbox for academic work: medical-imaging literature reviews, stylized paper-to-slide images, PhD research proposals, and fidelity-first talk decks.

Academic PPTX Skill overrides Claude's design-forward slide defaults with communication-first standards for conference talks, seminars, and thesis defenses.

LaTeX Document Skill turns plain-English requests into compiled LaTeX PDFs — 27 templates, 27 automation scripts, and a vision-OCR pipeline for converting scans into typeset documents, no LaTeX knowledge required.

A 183-skill, 18-category academic toolbox that spans paper search, grant writing (including NSFC/NSSFC), bioinformatics, drug discovery, and clinical medicine — installable one skill, one category, or all at once.

A pluggable skill pack that implements the PaperOrchestra multi-agent research-paper-writing pipeline for any coding agent — no API keys, no LLM SDKs, just instruction documents and deterministic helpers.

Chinese Thesis Workbench Skill turns a real project — source code, database, screenshots, and literature — into a traceable, editable, school-template-matching Chinese undergraduate thesis DOCX, step by step.

DeepPaperNote is an agent skill that deep-reads a single paper — evidence-first, figure-aware, grounding-linted — and writes a high-quality Obsidian-style research note you will actually want to keep.

AI Research Feedback is a collection of multi-agent Claude Code skills that referee your economics or finance paper, pre-analysis plan, grant proposal, or paper-code alignment before you submit.
