Is the Research Proof skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from tonyblu331/research-proof. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Research Proof SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Research Proof?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Research Proof with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 022d9ed

Ran a real production-latency claim through both paths: the skill version forced an independent-evaluator check and a randomization rejection-gate the freeform baseline never raised, then correctly downgraded the verdict from an informal 'strongly supported' to the disciplined SUPPORTED label.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Research Proof does

Turns a vague research, benchmark, or causal claim into a structured proof program with fixed Claim / Verifier Boundary / Rejection Gates / Verdict / Proof Ledger headings. Triggers on research reviews, eval design, benchmark or causal claims, and evidence-certainty questions, and forces PROVEN/SUPPORTED/REJECTED/OPEN labeling instead of unqualified confidence.

How to install Research Proof

git clone https://github.com/tonyblu331/research-proof.git
cd research-proof
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/research-proof ~/.claude/skills/research-proof

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Research Proof

/research-proof Forces research and benchmark claims through a frozen-verifier proof ladder instead of confident prose.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Prove this latency benchmark claim before I publish it
My research says X is faster — verify that properly
Check whether this experiment actually supports its claim
