SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides project-grounded external research to create durable reference material that anchors future work in context/references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchors repository decisions in verified project-grounding, combining context inspection with external literature.
  • Produces one durable paper or a small reference folder under context/references that is anchored to the current codebase.
  • Supports explicit External Research Trail, contrastive evidence, and validation-friendly artefact structure for long-term maintenance.

Quick Start

Run the project-research workflow to scaffold a durable artefact in context/references and begin external validation.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create durable reference material for repository architecture decisions?▼

Durable reference material is created by performing project-grounded external research that combines context inspection with external literature, anchoring results in the repository. It produces validated papers stored under context/references for long-term maintenance.

What is project-grounded external research for software engineering?▼

Project-grounded external research combines repository context inspection with external literature to produce durable reference material. It anchors architectural and algorithmic decisions to the current codebase using explicit quotes and contrasting sources.

How do I scaffold a reference folder for researching tooling options in my codebase?▼

Scaffolding a reference folder involves running the research workflow to generate a durable artefact under context/references. This artefact captures tooling option research with an external research trail and validation-friendly structure.

Can I validate external evidence and contrast sources when researching subsystem patterns?▼

Yes, validating external evidence and contrasting sources is supported when researching subsystem patterns. The process satisfies external-evidence floors by capturing explicit quotes and contrasting sources within the generated reference artefacts.

Does project-research work without external dependencies to anchor codebase literature?▼

Yes, this research workflow operates without external dependencies, relying instead on internal scripts and references components. It anchors external literature to the repository context to produce durable, validation-friendly artefacts.

What are the limitations of using context references for algorithm research?▼

The primary limitation is that artefacts are specifically anchored to the current codebase context, meaning the durable references may lose relevance if the repository architecture shifts significantly. Research is scoped to subsystem patterns and tooling options relevant to the repository.
