SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill assists in recording and tracing the provenance of research activities to ensure accurate and auditable tracking of research processes and outcomes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Epilogue Logging: Records the decision-making process and other significant events post-task.
  • Provenance Tags: Provides tagging system for user, AI inference, and AI execution provenance.
  • Directory Structure: Maintains a structured ARA directory for organized documentation of research outcomes and processes.
  • Use Case: After completing a coding or research session, use this Skill to scan conversation history, extract decisions and outcomes, and log them into the ara/ directory with provenance tags.

Quick Start

After the task is done, use ara-research-manager to review and record the session findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I log research provenance after completing a task?

To log research provenance, scan conversation history for user input, AI actions, and outcomes, then write the records to an ARA directory. This process tags decisions and events to maintain an auditable research provenance trace.

What is research provenance tagging and when do I need it?

Research provenance tagging categorizes session history into user, AI inference, and AI execution provenance. You need it to maintain an auditable research provenance trace when tracking research processes and outcomes.

How do I record session decisions and outcomes into an ARA directory?

Recording session decisions into an ARA directory involves scanning completed conversation history to extract significant events. The process organizes this data using provenance tags to document user and AI execution outcomes.

Does research provenance logging require existing conversation history?

Yes, research provenance logging assumes the existence of conversation history and user decision-making. It scans this existing history to extract user input, AI actions, and outcomes for the session epilogue logging process.

What's the best way to maintain an auditable research provenance trace?

The best way to maintain an auditable research provenance trace is to log post-task events by scanning conversation history. This ensures accurate tracking by tagging user input, AI inference, and AI execution provenance.

Can I use session epilogue logging without a structured ARA directory?

Session epilogue logging writes to an ARA directory to maintain structured documentation of research outcomes. Without this directory structure, the provenance tags and extracted conversation history records would lack organized storage.
