SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a quick-start scaffold for a new research domain by creating the essential workspace structure (notes/, papers/, pipeline.json, README.md), enabling seamless onboarding for subsequent skills like progressive learning and deep dives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace scaffolding: creates the domain directory with notes/ and papers/ subfolders, plus a pipeline.json tracker and a README.md for the domain.
  • Standardized workflow: ensures a consistent project layout across domains so other skills can operate without manual setup.
  • Use Case: when starting a new research topic, run the domain initializer to instantly prepare the domain skeleton for notes, papers, and progress tracking.

Quick Start

Run /init-domain <domain-name> to create the workspace skeleton for the domain.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a research workspace scaffold for a new domain?

To create a research workspace scaffold, run the domain initializer with your target topic name to instantly generate standardized directories for notes and papers, alongside a pipeline tracker and README.

What is included in a standardized research project layout?

A standardized research project layout includes dedicated subdirectories for notes and papers, a pipeline.json file for tracking progress, and a README.md to document the domain workspace.

Do I need to manually set up directories before initializing a domain workspace?

No manual setup is needed to initialize a domain workspace. The scaffolding process automatically creates the target domain directory and all essential subfolders if they are currently absent.

How do I track my research pipeline progress within a new domain?

You can track your research pipeline progress using the pipeline.json file, which the workspace scaffolding initializes with a base structure to monitor your notes and papers.

Can I use this workspace scaffolding for progressive learning and deep dives?

Yes, the workspace scaffolding is designed for seamless onboarding to subsequent skills like progressive learning and deep dives by ensuring a consistent project layout without manual setup.
