SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill translates vague topics into structured, evidence-backed research reports by applying a disciplined 8-step methodology.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic 8-step workflow for problem decomposition, source-tiering, fact extraction, and framework-driven conclusions.
  • Automatic generation of traceable deliverables with an auditable evidence trail.
  • Useful for research planning, strategic briefs, or any analysis needing reproducible, boss-readable reports.

Quick Start

Start by naming your topic to create a topic workspace under ~/Downloads/research/<topic>/ and follow the 8-step process to produce a complete deliverable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a vague topic into a structured research report?

Generate a structured research report from a vague topic by applying an 8-step methodology that enforces problem decomposition, source-tiering, and framework-driven conclusions to produce auditable, traceable deliverables.

What is source-tiering in evidence extraction?

Source-tiering in evidence extraction evaluates and categorizes references by reliability within the 8-step methodology, ensuring that extracted facts and framework-driven conclusions maintain a traceable, auditable evidence trail.

How do I ensure traceability in my research deliverables?

Ensure traceability in research deliverables by applying an 8-step methodology that enforces auditable evidence trails and modular work products, storing all outputs under ~/Downloads/research/<topic>/ for easy verification and reuse.

Can I use this 8-step methodology for strategic briefs across different disciplines?

Yes, you can use this 8-step methodology for strategic briefs across disciplines, because it applies systematic problem decomposition, topic scoping, and source evaluation to produce reproducible, boss-readable reports for any analysis.

What is the best way to organize modular work products for research reuse?

Organize modular work products for research reuse by creating a dedicated topic workspace under ~/Downloads/research/<topic>/, which automatically stores the structured deliverables and auditable evidence generated by the 8-step methodology.

Do I need specific dependencies to generate fact cards from my research?

No specific dependencies are required to generate fact cards from your research; the methodology autonomously handles evidence extraction, source-tiering, and deliverable generation to create reproducible reports without external components.
