SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Before creating an Operating Pack for a domain or project, teams need to know which rules, conventions, standards, and procedures actually govern the work. This Skill produces an evidence-aware research proposal instead of guessing or silently creating a pack. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-based research: Reads verified repository instructions, architecture, conventions, testing, security, and workflow material, and records missing or inaccessible sources. - Finding classification: Classifies each finding as verified instruction, reusable best practice, project-specific convention, inferred guidance, or unresolved gap. - Catalog comparison: Searches the existing Operating Pack catalog and compares candidates by purpose, applicability, source, status, and evidence before proposing a new identity. - Use Case: When starting work in a new repository, use this Skill to determine which operating rules are verified project instructions versus general best practice, then receive a proposal for the smallest useful pack boundary with an evidence ledger and open questions. ## Quick Start Use $operating-pack-research to research the verified, reusable, project-specific, inferred, and unresolved operating guidance for this domain.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research operating context before creating an Operating Pack?▼

Identify the domain, task conditions, users, and source boundaries, then read verified repository instructions, architecture, conventions, and workflow material. Classify each finding by evidence type and return a proposal with the smallest useful pack boundary and an evidence ledger.

How to check if an existing Operating Pack fits my project?▼

Search the existing Operating Pack catalog and compare candidates by purpose, applicability, source, status, and evidence before proposing a new identity. Reuse is preferred when an existing pack matches the domain scope.

Does operating-pack-research create or install pack files?▼

No. Research mode defaults to a proposal only. It does not create or edit pack files, install packages, contact external repositories, or update Skills automatically; authorized changes route to operating-pack-reconciliation.

When should I not use operating-pack-research?▼

Do not use it for defining reusable professional judgment (route to persona-skills), composing multi-stage outcomes (route to playbook-composer), executing Tools, or transporting an external pack.

How are research findings classified in an Operating Pack proposal?▼

Each finding is classified as a verified project instruction, reusable best practice with a source, project-specific convention, inferred guidance or hypothesis, or an unresolved gap, with source, scope, and confidence recorded.
