SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables AI agents to generate educational documents that progressively build understanding with explicit citations at every tier, reducing the manual burden of research and synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered research workflow: Guides an agent through Scout → Decompose → Research → Assemble → Verify to produce structured, testable artifacts.
  • Artifact lifecycle: Writes intermediate artifacts (00-scout.md, NN-*.md) and a final FINAL.md for traceability and reuse.
  • Planning workspace: Uses a planning directory (planning/<question-slug>/) to organize questions, tasks, and verification steps across multi-agent or single-agent workflows.

Quick Start

From within a planning workspace, initiate the Scout phase and follow the Decompose/Research steps; artifacts will be generated in the planning directory and compiled into FINAL.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate educational document creation with citations using AI agents?

Automate educational document creation by guiding AI agents through Scout, Decompose, Research, Assemble, and Verify phases. This workflow generates tiered documents with explicit citations at every level, reducing manual research and synthesis effort.

What is the multi-agent research workflow for generating tiered documentation?

The multi-agent research workflow is a five-phase process: Scout, Decompose, Research, Assemble, and Verify. It organizes questions and tasks within a planning workspace to produce structured, testable artifacts with strict citation traceability.

How do I organize research artifacts and planning files for AI-driven documentation?

Organize research artifacts using a planning directory structure like planning/<question-slug>/. The workflow writes intermediate files such as 00-scout.md and NN-*.md during execution, compiling them into a final FINAL.md document for traceability.

Can I use a single-agent workflow to generate citation-backed research documents?

Yes, single-agent workflows are supported alongside multi-agent configurations. Both modes utilize the same planning workspace, artifact lifecycle, and formal verification step to ensure disciplined citation and traceability across the generated educational documents.

Does this research workflow require external dependencies or specific tool components?

No external dependencies or specific tool components are required to run this research workflow. It operates independently using a file-based artifact lifecycle and a structured planning workspace to manage the generation and verification process.

When should I use a tiered document generation workflow instead of standard AI research?

Use a tiered document generation workflow when you need progressive understanding with explicit citations at every tier and formal verification. It is ideal for educational materials requiring traceable artifacts, unlike standard AI research that may lack structured verification.
