As a Pi Coding Agent extension:
pi install npm:@lincoln504/pi-research
Standalone, as an agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw:
npm install -g @lincoln504/pi-research
pi-research skill install
In pi it works out of the box on your session's model and pi's configuration. Standalone use (agent skill or [SDK](doc

Source structure unverified
A repository listing is not proof of an installable skill. Review its instructions before proposing any installation.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
