SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the creation and maintenance of a durable, searchable knowledge base from ongoing AI-assisted research sessions, preventing lost progress between runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incremental research sessions: continue from where the last session left off, across restarts.
  • Multi-mode input & rendering: online fetch, local ingestion, and browser/API integrations with editable SCHEMA-driven prompts; output includes narrative reports and wiki pages.
  • Use Case: a knowledge worker investigates a topic, merges sources into a wiki, and renders a bilingual report for publishing.

Quick Start

Create a new session with ascent-research and run the loop to build a persistent wiki and a review-ready report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a knowledge base from AI research sessions without losing progress?

Incremental research sessions automate building a durable knowledge base by saving your progress across restarts. You can resume your AI research directly from where the last session left off without losing context.

What is the best way to automate resumable research across codebases and literature?

Automating resumable research across codebases and literature is best handled by an incremental CLI that coordinates ingestion and autonomous looping. This approach enforces workflow rules while continuously updating your persistent wiki.

Can I customize the schema for AI-assisted literature research prompts?

Yes, you can fully customize research prompts using a user-editable SCHEMA. This schema-driven approach allows you to tailor online fetch and local ingestion workflows to fit specific literature or technology stack topics.

Does this incremental research CLI support generating wiki pages and narrative reports?

Yes, the incremental research CLI supports generating both wiki pages and narrative reports. It uses renderers to output editor-friendly documentation, enabling knowledge workers to merge sources into a publishable bilingual report.
