SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided think-cycle that coordinates research, decisions, and durable codification into reference files, so teams avoid memory loss and misalignment across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Route by user intent (explore, decide, codify) and orchestrate tools to gather insights
  • Save decisions and syntheses to durable files in research and core references
  • Recovery and checkpoint workflow to resume after memory compaction or interruptions

Quick Start

Initiate the full think cycle with /mb-think research <topic> to begin gathering, deciding, and codifying into durable reference files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate research and decisions without losing context across sessions?

To manage a think cycle, initiate a command like `/mb-think research <topic>` to begin gathering, deciding, and codifying into durable reference files. The workflow routes by user intent to orchestrate tools and gather insights.

What is a think cycle for codifying research into reference files?

A think cycle for codifying research is a guided workflow that moves from exploration to decision to codification. It routes by user intent and stores durable syntheses in core references to prevent team misalignment.

How do I resume a research workflow after a memory compaction or interruption?

Resume a research workflow after memory compaction by using the built-in recovery and checkpoint workflow. This enforces explicit recovery actions to resume the think cycle and update core reference files accurately.

Can I route research tasks if some external tools are missing?

You can route research tasks if external tools are missing because the workflow routes by user intent and tool availability. It enables graceful fallbacks to ensure the think cycle continues gathering insights despite missing dependencies.

When should I use a guided decision workflow instead of ad-hoc research?

Use a guided decision workflow instead of ad-hoc research when teams need durable codification and explicit What Changes guidance. It prevents memory loss across sessions by enforcing checkpointing and storing rationale in reference files.
