The wider ecosystem
- Nori โ the upstream skillset ecosystem from tilework-tech that Claude Researcher descends from. A bundle of opinionated Claude Code skills oriented primarily toward software engineering: TDD, debugging, code review, plan-writing, large-task handling. If you've installed Claude Code locally, install Nori too.
- Nori Researcher โ the sub-skillset of Nori that Claude Researcher is most directly a port of. Maintained by Dan Parshall. Aimed at researchers using Claude Code locally for paper triage, multi-session reasoning, and writing.
- The Agentics blog โ writing on agent-assisted work, prompting practice, and how to think about working with capable language models as collaborators rather than tools.
- claude-exit โ a small tool by Dan Parshall that gives Claude Code an affordance to end sessions unilaterally. Adjacent to the Claude Researcher work; reflects the same posture of treating the agent as a collaborator whose judgment is trusted.
Effective Claude usage
- Anthropic's Claude documentation โ the canonical reference for what Claude can do, how the API works, and what changes between models. Worth knowing exists; not required reading.
- Claude Code docs โ for when you eventually want to install Claude Code locally. Claude Researcher's conventions (skill names, file conventions, mental model) carry across, so Code adds to what you have rather than replacing it.
- Anthropic's prompt-engineering guide โ if you want to understand why the prompting conventions in Claude Researcher are the way they are. Most of the day-to-day advice (be clear, give examples, ask for step-by-step reasoning) translates directly.
