# Genealogy Research Recipes
One skill instead of many: DNA evidence and record searches across countries, archives and
testing companies, in one catalog that grows with every release. Each recipe lists its sources. The
[provenance report](https://github.com/Kinprove/genealogy-research-recipes/blob/main/PROVENANCE.md)
shows which source records have been reviewed and which are still pending.
It is one [Agent Skill](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) for Claude, Codex, Hermes Agent
and OpenClaw, by [Kinprove](https://kinprove.io). It needs no Kinprove account or API key, registers
no tools or hooks, and makes no network calls of its own. To set it up, see [Install](#install).
