AI Agent Research Starter Kit

What AI Agent Research Starter Kit does

The kit organizes AI-agent skills for literature search, knowledge-base building, topic selection, experiment design, statistical analysis, text mining, EEG/ERP and BCI modeling, paper writing, self-review and journal formatting into a course-ready set of materials: course outlines, hands-on tutorials, local skill libraries sorted by function, and classroom tasks and homework. It is published as a cleaned public release with original third-party course materials, large files and personal paths removed.

Skills are organized as SKILL.md folders under a local skills library, copied into whichever agent's skills directory the student is using and invoked by naming the skill, the input files and the desired output location in chat. The repository is licensed under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, so it allows non-commercial use, study, research, teaching and adaptation, but not direct commercial use.

Key features

• Course materials organized by lecture, covering literature search through journal formatting
• A local skills library sorted by research function, copyable into any agent's skills folder
• Beginner-track materials for AI-agent deployment, including OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes
• Statistical, EEG/ERP and BCI modeling workflows included alongside writing and publishing skills
• A pre-release security check report documenting what was removed before publication

When to use it

• Teaching a graduate research-methods course built around AI-agent workflows
• Giving a research group a shared skill library for literature review and data analysis
• Walking a student from a research question through a submission-ready manuscript

Who it is for: Graduate students, research assistants and instructors who want a structured, classroom-ready path for using AI agents in academic research.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

The kit names Hermes as one of the agents its deployment materials and skills are compared and installed across, alongside OpenClaw, Claude Code and Codex.

Note: Licensed under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, so commercial use is not permitted without separate arrangement with the author.
