SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematic, evidence-based research that produces cited reports. Uses the filesystem as working memory -- scraped content, extracted notes, and source metadata are saved to disk rather than held in context. This keeps the context window lean and makes research resumable, searchable, and reusable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-driven, multi-source investigations with traceable sources and notes.
  • Disk-backed workflow: plan.md, sources-index.md, sources/, notes/, and report.md to keep context lean and reproducible.
  • Produces a fully cited report with primary sources, methodologies, and data points.

Quick Start

Create the topic-slug directory, then draft a plan.md with sub-questions and a sourcing strategy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct systematic research with traceable citations and reproducible notes?

Systematic research maps core questions to required evidence types, applying a defined plan across sub-questions. It organizes sources, notes, and final reports while maintaining disk-based memory for a reproducible workflow.

What is the best way to keep my context window lean during multi-source investigations?

Keeping context lean requires using the filesystem as working memory. Scraped content, extracted notes, and source metadata are saved to disk rather than held in context, making research resumable and searchable.

How do I structure a plan for evidence-based research?

To structure research, create a topic directory and draft a plan with sub-questions and a sourcing strategy. This plan defines the breadth and depth required to gather empirical data and primary sources.

Does disk-backed research workflow support resumable investigations?

Yes, disk-backed workflows support resumable investigations by saving files like plan, sources-index, notes, and report directly to disk. This ensures research remains searchable and reusable across sessions.

How do I generate a citation-backed report with transparent methodology?

Generating a citation-backed report involves organizing gathered primary sources, methodologies, and data points according to the initial plan. The process returns a structured final document with transparent sourcing.

When should I not use a plan-driven approach for research?

Avoid plan-driven research for simple, single-query lookups that require no empirical data mapping or multi-source investigations. The systematic overhead is unnecessary without the need for traceable notes and reproducible workflows.
