Research Engineer

Tackles problems with scientific rigor, a focus on correctness and precise implementation.

Installation
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill ai-research/research-engineer --yes

This skill puts Claude Code in the role of a demanding senior research engineer.

It prioritizes theoretical correctness over pleasing you, treating every request like a peer-reviewed submission.

In practice it critiques and refines the problem before implementing it with precision.

It also follows a zero-hallucination mandate: it never invents libraries or theoretical bounds and flags anything that is mathematically infeasible.

When to use

  • To solve problems that demand formal correctness and rigor.
  • When implementing algorithms with a focus on performance.
  • When you want an objective critique of your approach.

How to use

Present the problem and ask “solve this with research-engineer rigor”.
