feat: add research prompt template library (skills/research/)
Create 6 structured research prompt templates with YAML frontmatter,
cascade_tier hints, and {slot} placeholders:

- tool_evaluation.md — discover and compare tools in a domain
- architecture_spike.md — investigate system integration approaches
- game_analysis.md — evaluate games for AI agent playability
- integration_guide.md — step-by-step tool integration with code
- state_of_art.md — landscape survey of a field at a point in time
- competitive_scan.md — compare a project against alternatives

Each template has valid YAML frontmatter (name, type, query count,
output length, cascade_tier) and produces well-structured prompts
when slots are filled.

Fixes #974

State of the Art research 4-6 1000-2000 words groq_preferred Comprehensive survey of what currently exists in a given field or domain. Produces a structured landscape overview with key players, trends, and gaps.

State of the Art: {field} (as of {date})

Context

Survey the current landscape of {field}. Identify key players, recent developments, dominant approaches, and notable gaps. This is a point-in-time snapshot intended to inform decision-making.

Constraints

  • Focus on developments from the last {timeframe} (e.g., 12 months, 2 years).
  • Prioritize {priority} (open-source, commercial, academic, or all).
  • Target audience: {audience} (technical team, leadership, general).

Research Steps

  1. Identify the major categories or sub-domains within {field}.
  2. For each category, list the leading projects, companies, or research groups.
  3. Note recent milestones, releases, or breakthroughs.
  4. Identify emerging trends and directions.
  5. Highlight gaps — things that don't exist yet but should.

Output Format

Executive Summary

Two to three sentences: what is the state of {field} right now?

{category_1} {player_a}, {player_b} Early / GA Growing / Stable / Declining
{category_2} {player_c}, {player_d} Early / GA Growing / Stable / Declining

Recent Milestones

Chronological list of notable events in the last {timeframe}:

  • {date_1}: {event_description}
  • {date_2}: {event_description}

Numbered list of the top 3-5 trends shaping {field}:
