Skills
A Skill is a small recipe your AI assistant follows for a specific kind of research task. We ship four:
| Skill | Triggers when you ask things like |
|---|---|
| Paper search | "Find me papers on X", "what's been published on Y?" |
| Literature review | "Write a literature review of …", "summarize the state of …" |
| Conference monitor | "Watch CCS 2025 for new papers", "subscribe me to …" |
| Research guidance | "How should I structure a paper review?", "best practices for…" |
You don't need to do anything special to use a Skill — your assistant notices the matching question and reaches for the right Skill itself.
Install
As part of the Claude Code plugin
The simplest path. The plugin bundles the four Skills with the Lune connection in one install:
/plugin marketplace add RetrogradeLabs/lune
/plugin install lune@retrograde-labs-luneStandalone (Cursor, Cline, custom agents)
If your agent supports the open Skill format but isn't Claude Code:
git clone https://github.com/RetrogradeLabs/lune-skills.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills # all projects
cp -r lune-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/For Cursor, drop them in .cursor/skills/. For Cline, .cline/skills/.
All four assume Lune is already connected as a tool — see Connect Lune to your AI app.
