Triggers: "write a research proposal", "PhD proposal", "doctoral proposal", "研究计划书", "开题报告", "写博士研究计划". The literature-corpus half of 开题报告 (exhaustive, reproducible retrieval with recall evidence) belongs to the lit-search skill; this skill consumes its outputs (dois.md / references.md — the default formatted list; references.bib only when lit-search ran with --bibtex). Not for backward-looking literature reviews / 综述 / surveys (use medical-imaging-review). For grant applications (国自然/NSF) it drafts and structures the CONTENT (立项依据/研究内容/…) but never fills a funder's own form system or budget tables.67 installsbrainstorming-research-ideasGuides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions.

Frequently asked questions about localaipicks

What does the localaipicks skill do?

Find open-weight AI models that run on the user's own hardware with Local AI Picks, with weight file sizes, memory needs, sources and test status. Use when the user asks which local LLM, coding, speech, image, video, music, translation or OCR model fits their Mac, GPU or RAM, or wants to compare open-weight models before downloading. No key needed. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the localaipicks skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install buildwithclaude-localaipicks` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/buildwithclaude-localaipicks/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does localaipicks work with?

localaipicks runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the localaipicks skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use localaipicks after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/buildwithclaude-localaipicks` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
