genealogy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents mid-session data mistakes when using the Släktforskning built-in MCP tools to create, enrich, import, and validate genealogy data end-to-end.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end MCP research workflow: guides the correct sequence for switching databases, adding repositories and sources, creating people, recording events, relationships, and adding media and face tags.
• Robust place strategy: explains when bundled gazetteers fail and how to create a custom gazetteer (including the validation constraints that commonly break imports).
• Round-trip integrity and live UI verification: provides a practical GEDCOM export/import verification loop and checks to confirm the renderer and MCP are writing to the same database.

Quick Start

Start by confirming the active database path in the MCP and matching it to the running app, then follow the recommended order to create your root person, add cited events and relationships, attach and tag media, and finish with a GEDCOM round-trip verification for silent-loss detection.
