SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Converts vague, ambiguous questions into a structured, auditable research workflow that frames problems, generates exploration frontiers, collects evidence, builds concept graphs, reframes questions as needed, and synthesizes reader-calibrated conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frame problems with a problem card and define a clear target outcome to guide exploration.
  • Generate and rank exploration frontiers using a transparent scoring system, then run auditable exploration rounds.
  • Maintain a reusable evidence loop: capture source notes, track claims, and validate convergence before final synthesis.
  • Produce reader-calibrated final synthesis that explains reasoning, highlights uncertainties, and documents next actions.
  • Platform-neutral workflow that can operate with local files, user notes, papers, datasets, or conversations.

Quick Start

Initialize a Domain Sensemaking workspace with a problem card and frontier queue, then run auditable rounds to converge on a reader-ready synthesis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague research questions into structured workflows?

To turn vague questions into structured workflows, this skill frames the problem with a problem card, generates ranked exploration frontiers, and runs auditable rounds to collect evidence. It validates convergence before synthesizing a reader-calibrated conclusion into a final memo.

What is domain sensemaking and when do I need it for evidence synthesis?

Domain sensemaking is a structured research process that uses abduction, triangulation, and Bayesian updating to convert ambiguous questions into auditable workflows. You need it to systematically collect evidence, track claims, and validate convergence before synthesizing conclusions.

Can I use local files and datasets for knowledge graph building?

Yes, this platform-neutral workflow operates with local files, user notes, papers, and datasets to build a knowledge graph. It captures source notes and tracks claims to produce structured relations and a visual map of your collected evidence.

What's the best way to track contradictions during literature synthesis?

The best way to track contradictions during synthesis is to maintain a reproducible local workspace using structured files like contradictions.csv and claims.csv. This enables falsification checks and validates evidence convergence before producing a final synthesis.

Does this research workflow support consulting and decision-making modes?

Yes, the workflow supports Consulting, Decision-making, Learning, and Research/Engineering modes. It coordinates hypothetico-deductive loops and Bayesian updating to produce reader-calibrated conclusions tailored to your specific analytical context.

How do I operationalize research questions for falsification checks?

To operationalize research questions for falsification checks, frame the problem with a problem card and define a clear target outcome. The workflow coordinates abduction and hypothetico-deductive loops to run reproducible, auditable exploration rounds.
