SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

EngramR labs require coordinated setup across discovery, enrichment, and artifact generation. This skill unit provides a self-contained workflow to bootstrap a new lab's vault, linking project notes, data inventories, and research goals with end-to-end provenance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scan lab directories to discover projects, conventions, and infrastructure.
Enrich institutional and lab context with external sources and /learn data.
Generate vault artifacts including projects, lab entity, data inventory, and goals.
Validate artifacts and report results; supports --update for incremental onboarding.
Detect cross-lab connections for institutions with multiple onboarded labs.

Quick Start

Provide the lab root path and confirm to start onboarding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate lab vault onboarding for new research projects?▼

Lab vault onboarding is automated by scanning directories, enriching institutional context, and generating structured artifacts. It registers new projects, goals, and data inventory while enforcing vault conventions and validation steps before writing.

What is the best way to set up a data inventory for an academic research lab?▼

Setting up a data inventory involves scanning lab directories and generating structured vault artifacts. The process links project notes and research goals with end-to-end provenance, requiring user confirmation before registering the inventory.

Can I update existing lab vault artifacts without overwriting current project notes?▼

Updating existing lab vault artifacts is supported through incremental onboarding. By applying the update command, the system scans directories and applies incremental updates to projects and goals while enforcing validation steps before any writes occur.

How does cross-lab detection work for institutions with multiple research labs?▼

Cross-lab detection identifies connections across institutions with multiple onboarded labs. During the vault onboarding process, the system scans directories and enriches institutional context to automatically detect and link these cross-lab relationships.

Do I need to manually format project directories before running lab vault onboarding?▼

Manual directory formatting is not required because the onboarding process scans lab directories to discover existing projects and conventions. However, the system enforces vault conventions and validation steps, returning an artifact summary for your review before finalizing writes.

What structured artifacts are generated during research lab vault setup?▼

Research lab vault setup generates structured artifacts including project entries, the lab entity, data inventory, and research goals. These artifacts are linked with end-to-end provenance and validated before the system writes them to the vault.
