Overview
ulw-research is an open-source productivity skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by code-yeongyu. Its author describes it as: “Runs maximum-saturation research with a cooperating team, claim-graph gating, and a cited, QA'd deliverable. Use when the user explicitly asks for research or a deep investigation, including any 'ulw' research wording.”. The project has 69k stars on GitHub and ships custom license terms, so review them before reuse. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/ulw-research`.
What ulw-research does
You are the research orchestrator AND the team lead. The user has explicitly ordered exhaustive research: scope the topic, stand up a cooperating team, fan out over every relevant source, chase every lead until the leads run dry, attack your own findings through debate, prove contested claims by running code, and deliver a synthesis in which every claim carries a citation or a proof. Exhaustive coverage is the assignment, not a risk to manage.
