SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of gathering reliable, multi-dimensional evidence and insights needed before designing a presentation, reducing the risk of unsupported claims, biased narratives, or shallow research.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured multi-dimensional search: mandates at least three research dimensions (market, competitors, audience, counter-arguments, technology) to avoid narrow perspectives.
  • Evidence-first findings: produces sequentially numbered findings with confidence levels, source tiers, and explicit citations.
  • Conflict and credibility handling: flags disputed or conflicting sources, integrates user-provided materials, and requires at least one Tier 1/2 source.
  • Schema-aligned output: writes a research-report.md that conforms to a defined JSON schema and includes artifact placement guidance.
  • Use Case: Preparing a technical-share Slidev deck on Kubernetes for backend engineers by producing a fact-backed report that the outline and compose skills will consume.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run ppt-research for the topic and audience (for example: research "Kubernetes observability" for backend engineers and output a research-report.md in the artifacts directory).

Frequently Asked Questions about ppt-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather factual evidence for a presentation topic before designing slides?

To gather factual evidence for a presentation, conduct deep multi-dimensional research across market, competitor, audience, and technology dimensions to assemble structured findings with source attributions and confidence levels.

What is the best way to research counter-arguments for a technical Slidev deck?

The best way to research counter-arguments for a Slidev deck is to run a multi-dimensional analysis that flags conflicting sources, integrates user-supplied materials, and requires Tier 1 or Tier 2 citations to ensure evidence-backed narratives.

Can I use web searches and my own materials to compile a structured research report for PPT?

Yes, you can combine web searches with user-supplied materials to analyze presentation topics and output a structured research-report.md containing sequential finding IDs, explicit citations, and conflict tags for PPT workflows.

How do I generate a schema-aligned markdown research report for a Kubernetes presentation?

Generate a schema-aligned research report for a Kubernetes presentation by analyzing audience and technology dimensions, then writing a research-report.md with artifact placement guidance, confidence levels, and source tiers.

Does multi-dimensional presentation research require a minimum number of research dimensions?

Yes, multi-dimensional presentation research mandates at least three research dimensions—such as market, competitors, audience, counter-arguments, or technology—to avoid narrow perspectives and unsupported claims.
