SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the friction of setting up new research projects by automating the creation of a standardized, professional folder structure and essential documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Scaffolding: Instantly generates the Big 5 folder structure (scripts, figures, data, docs, archive) and project-specific files like agenda.md and method.md.
  • Integrated Guardrails: Automatically injects lab-standard research integrity, coding, and truth-seeking guardrails into CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.
  • Use Case: When starting a new analysis project, use this to ensure your environment is immediately ready for work with all necessary documentation templates and behavioral guidelines pre-configured.

Quick Start

Run the launch-project command to scaffold a new research project in the current directory.
