+# External AI agent skills — university-research-assistant
+
+Proven, publicly available AI agent skills mapped to this occupation.
+Nothing is copied from the sources: every entry is a name, a one-line
+summary and a link to the upstream skill package. Each section names
+its source repository, commit, license and retrieval date.
+
+**Tiers:** `core` = the skill directly exercises a top market hard
+skill, tool or method (from gated job-ad evidence) or an essential
+ESCO competence of this occupation; `adjacent` =
+plausibly useful, secondary. Entries are capped at 12 per source
+and 80 in total per occupation (core first,
+strongest matches survive); everything beyond the caps is excluded
+and logged in the pipeline audit trail, not in this package.
+
+_Matched deterministically (ISCO group + title/competence keywords,
+tiered against market evidence + ESCO essentials) by
