Zetetic Agents: evidence-synthesis and research reasoning skills

Repository-documented agent skills for evidence synthesis and research reasoning. The README describes portable evidence-synthesis packaging for Codex and Gemini CLI, alongside a fuller Claude Code distribution and host-specific quality gates.

Evidence & verification

Source level

Repository-documented
Grounded in a maintainer repository/README. Availability, stars and forks do not establish research benefit or correctness.

Outcome verification

Not empirically evaluated here
A documented resource or intended workflow, not a demonstrated academic outcome. No empirical benefit is established by its inclusion.

Sources checked

Primary README documentation only; capability descriptions not evaluated outcomes. README entry-point table, portable installation section and explicit limitations support this bounded capability description. No claim that every output is valid, that refusals are guaranteed or that the gates validate citation truth is retained.

Source-checked does not mean independently reproduced. See the Method page for how these labels are assigned.

Research applicability

Getting started

Untested editorial guidance: read the portable evidence-synthesis installation section, inspect the skill and its references, then pilot it on a small known literature set and verify every citation.

Maintenance

Mutable main branch retrieved; no maintenance reliability audit.

License

README licence statement only; no legal audit. Verify applicable terms before reuse.

Workflow & human oversight

Resource-level automation unspecified. The researcher defines the task, controls access and checks sources and outputs.

Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.

Approach

Limitations

README-only review of a mutable main branch; no installation or research outcome reproduced. Citation-presence checks do not establish citation validity; documented refusals are prompt guidance rather than runtime guarantees. Hooks can be bypassed outside supported host invocation paths. Companion Cortex and session-optimizer projects are distinct, not aliases.

Reproducibility

No installation, tests or independent outcome reproduction.

Adoption requirements

Requires a compatible agent host; portable and full distributions differ. Inspect hook permissions and source-data policies before installation; retain researcher judgment over causal claims and evidence quality.
