FAQPage Schema
How do I automate institutional background population for research projects?

Automating institutional background population uses shared institutional references and project context to generate or update a `docs/institutions.md` file. This process extracts relevant data from reference files to automatically populate new or existing research documentation.

What is the best way to audit institutional citations in research documentation?

Auditing institutional citations involves verifying coverage against shared institutional references without modifying content. This automated process checks existing `docs/institutions.md` files for missing sections and validates citation accuracy based on the reference data.

How do I update specific sections of an institutional background file after new rulings?

To update specific sections after new rulings, use a surgical update approach that edits only targeted parts of the `docs/institutions.md` file. This ensures precise modifications while preserving the rest of the existing institutional background documentation.

Do I need shared reference files to populate institutional research context?

Yes, shared institutional reference files are required to populate institutional research context. The population and auditing process depends on accessing these shared references alongside project-specific documentation to accurately generate or update background information.

Can I bootstrap a new research project with institutional documentation from scratch?

Yes, you can bootstrap new research projects by automatically creating a `docs/institutions.md` file. The feature uses shared institutional references to generate the file from scratch, populating it with relevant background information for the new project context.
