Is there lore about how endofunctors of Cat interact with the formation of presheaf categories?

There are a few things going on here. In short, what you are describing is a pseudodistributive law between a lax-idempotent relative pseudomonad and a pseudofunctor. The presheaf construction, as you …

Profunctors and multicategories

Hyland's Elements of a theory of algebraic theories describes a precise connection between multicategories and $\mathbf{Prof}$ in Section 4.3. I shall briefly describe the intuition; a complete pictur …

Strongly compact categories (reference request)

Assuming $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$ are locally small and $\mathcal C$ is small-cocomplete, a functor $F \colon \mathcal C \to \mathcal D$ is a left adjoint if and only if it is small-cocontinuous …

Kan extensions inside a monoidal category

It is certainly the case that the duals of internal homs have appeared significantly less in the categorical literature. I've included a few more references below, but I am not sure this is a satisfyi …

Reference request: (co)limits in Eilenberg--Moore (V-)categories

The creation of weighted limits by the forgetful functor from the $\mathscr V$-category of algebras for an enriched (relative) monad is proven in Proposition 2.5 of Arkor–McDermott's Relative monadic …

Free category with product and coproduct

The general problem of giving a categorical construction of the free category with finite coproducts and products (or "free sum–product category") seems to still be open, though there are several work …

Enriched 2-categories

There is a standard notion of a bicategory enriched in a monoidal bicategory, which is a categorification of the notion of category enriched in a monoidal category. The standard reference would be Gar …

Reference request for facts about bi(co)descent objects

This follows from Lemma 2.3 and Proposition 3.2 of Creurer–Marmolejo–Vitale's Beck's theorem for pseudo-monads, together with fact that the bicategorical Yoneda embedding preserves bilimits. Presumab …

Relative cocompletion of a category

This is a special case of the general construction of cocompletions that preserve existing colimits. The general statement can be found as Theorem 6.23 of Kelly's Basic Concepts of Enriched Category T …

Enrichment as extra structure on a category

An answer has already been accepted, but I believe it does not really answer the question as given, so here is another. You can define $\mathcal V$-enrichment as structure on a category $\mathcal C$, …

Transporting monoidal structure along adjunction

A relevant reference is §3 of Kelly's Doctrinal adjunction: in particular, see Theorem 3.1, which states that, if the adjunction is reflective, then the subcategory inherits monoidal structure if and …

Reference request: Algebras over monoid objects in a monoidal category

I believe the original reference for this fact is Theorem 2 of Maranda's 1966 On Fundamental Constructions and Adjoint Functors, although the terminology is not modern. A more readable reference is Th …
