SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep research runs with explicit source policy, comparison tables, confidence levels, Q&A appendix, and gap analysis—outputs a dated research pack under workspace/drafts/research/. Karpathy-style: one primary artifact per run, clear done criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Traceable outputs: Every non-obvious claim links to a source note (URL or citation) and is timestamped.
  • Single primary artifact: Generates one dated research report per run, plus optional CSV artifacts for structured data.
  • Structured workflow & handoff: Supports scoping, source planning, structured note collection, synthesis, comparison, Q&A appendix, gaps, and a handoff-ready README.

Quick Start

Execute an autonomous literature scan and produce a dated, source-backed research report under workspace/drafts/research/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a research report with citations and traceable sources?

To generate a source-backed research report, use this Skill to autonomously scan literature, compile reliable sources, and output a dated document with explicit citations and traceable source notes under workspace/drafts/research/.

What is the best way to perform gap analysis during competitive analysis?

Performing gap analysis during competitive analysis is done by synthesizing structured notes to identify missing information, which this Skill includes in its final research pack alongside an executive summary and Q&A appendix.

Can I automate literature scans for policy evaluation and product exploration?

Yes, you can automate literature scans for policy evaluation and product exploration by running this Skill to identify reliable sources and compile a tailored, dated research report with confidence levels and comparison tables.

How does traceability work in an autonomous research pack?

Traceability in an autonomous research pack works by linking every non-obvious claim to a specific source note containing a URL or citation, which is then timestamped within the final dated report artifact.

Does the research report include structured data exports like CSV?

Yes, the research report includes optional CSV artifacts for structured data alongside the single primary dated document, ensuring comparison tables and collected notes are available for downstream analysis.
