cli-hub-matrix-knowledge-research
Capability-based multi-tool matrix for research, note-taking, document authoring, and publishing. Agents compose providers (CLI-Anything harnesses, public CLIs, Python libs, native binaries, cloud APIs) per capability.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a comprehensive capability-based matrix for research and document authoring that includes executable commands and integration patterns not commonly found in public documentation.
What it needs
Requires cli-hub, dot, exiftool, hugo, jekyll, latexmk, mermaid, mkdocs, pandoc, pdftk, plantuml, python, qpdf, tex installed locally. Requires anthropic, brave, ghost, google, notion, openai, perplexity, semantic-scholar, serpapi, tavily, wordpress account access. About 7k tokens when loaded.

What this skill does
Knowledge / Office / Research Matrix (S2 — v2 capability-based) Scenario S2. Strongest coverage in the current ecosystem: search, reference management, notes, synthesis, documents, and diagrams all have first-party harnesses; Python/native fallbacks fill the rest. Schema: docs/cli-matrix/matrixregistry.schema.md. Matrix plan: docs/cli-matrix/cli-matrix-plan.md. Install --- Provider selection constraints 1. Use preflight as an availability report, not as a provider selector. 2. Treat provider order as documentation order only. 3. Choose from user requirements, output quality bar, offline needs, credential state, install cost, and provider notes. 4. Escalate to paid or metered APIs only when credentials are already present or the user explicitly consents. Offline context? Filter to offline: true providers. --- Preflight Run cli-hub matrix preflight knowledge-research --json first. Use the manual block below for extra probes or older cli-hub versions. --- Suggest-to-user template Example: To enable live Notion sync via the Notion API, please set NOTIONAPIKEY. Cost: free tier suffices for most users. Quality: sota (round-trips block/page IDs). Reply 'skip' to fall back to local Obsidian vault + manual paste. …
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
