SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Planning and progress in research often drift without a consistent structure, making it hard to coordinate stages, track milestones, and preserve decision history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File-based research workspace initialization: Creates a structured folder with three core documents (task plan, progress tracker, findings log) to anchor the workflow.
  • Structured task planning by methodology: Generates a task plan tailored to common research methodologies (e.g., grounded theory, field analysis, actor-network theory), or a generic plan otherwise.
  • Progress monitoring and discovery recording: Logs daily progress entries, marks task statuses in the plan, and appends categorized findings to ensure traceability and auditability.
  • Integration-ready for multi-skill workflows: Designed to coordinate with other research skills by using standardized files and workspace state.

Quick Start

Initialize a workspace for your research topic by running this skill with action initialize, providing a research topic and methodology, and it will create task_plan.md, progress.md, and findings.md in your workspace directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about planning-with-files

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I track research project progress using a file-based workflow?▼

You can track research progress using a file-based workflow by initializing a structured workspace that generates task_plan.md, progress.md, and findings.md to log daily updates and record findings systematically.

What is the best way to manage multi-stage research execution and milestone tracking?▼

Manage multi-stage research execution by generating a task_plan.md tailored to your methodology, then log daily progress and record categorized findings to ensure milestone traceability and auditability.

Can I use this file-based research workflow for grounded theory methodology?▼

Yes, this workflow supports grounded theory by generating a structured task_plan.md tailored to the grounded theory methodology, alongside the standard progress and findings tracking files.

How do I initialize a research workspace and start logging findings?▼

Initialize a research workspace by providing a topic and methodology to generate the three core documents. Start logging findings by appending categorized discoveries to findings.md using the record-finding action.

Does this research planning workflow require any external dependencies or components?▼

This research planning workflow requires no external dependencies or components, operating independently using standard markdown files to manage your task plan, daily progress logs, and categorized findings.

Why does my research planning drift without a consistent file structure?▼

Research planning drifts without a consistent file structure because there is no standardized anchor for coordinating stages, tracking milestones, and preserving decision history across the multi-stage research execution lifecycle.
