Install the Research skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap --skill research

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap.git /tmp/opengap
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/opengap/examples/lyzr-agent/skills/research ~/.claude/skills/research

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

Until it is used, research costs about 22× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 18 skills from open-gitagent/opengap would load 890 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
