onboard-datasource
Create a new data source connection skill for a genealogy archive or database. Investigates the source to find the fastest access method (API > curl > URL fetch > browser automation), documents the search workflow, and produces a ready-to-use skill file. Use this skill when: "onboard a new data source", "add X as a source", "create a skill for X archive", "/onboard-datasource", or when research requires an archive that has no existing skill in .claude/skills/. Also trigger proactively when during hardening or research you encounter a relevant archive with no matching skill — don't wait for the user to ask, just onboard it.

Search the Oorlogsbronnen.nl network of WWII sources — over 1.6 million records from 250+ Dutch archives, museums, and libraries, plus 700,000+ indexed persons.

research
Run autonomous genealogy research cycles: assess the GEDCOM tree, find the highest-value gaps, look up records via archive skills, apply corrections, and document findings. Works outward from the root individual, prioritizing closer generations first. Use this skill whenever the user wants autonomous research done on the tree — "do some research", "fill gaps", "explore edges", "work on the tree for a while", "/research", or any open-ended request to improve the family tree without a specific person or line in mind. Also use when the user sets up a /loop for recurring research. Unlike /harden (which focuses on ONE specific line), this skill picks the best targets across ALL lines and maximizes impact per cycle. Supports an optional budget argument to keep running cycles until a usage ceiling is hit. E.g. "/research 40% session" or "/research 5% weekly". Without a budget, runs a single cycle.

harden
Systematically verify ("harden") a family line by checking every person against official archive records.
