SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides qualitative researchers through the critical initial phase of establishing their philosophical foundation and setting up the project infrastructure. It ensures a coherent epistemic partnership with AI from the outset, preventing methodological inconsistencies later on.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Socratic Onboarding: Engages researchers in a dialogue to define their ontology, epistemology, research tradition, and AI relationship.
  • Project Structure Creation: Automatically generates the "sandwich methodology" folder hierarchy for organized data and analysis.
  • Configuration Generation: Creates a config.json file based on dialogue responses, tailoring AI interactions to your philosophical stance.
  • Use Case: Starting a new qualitative project, use this skill to define your interpretivist stance, set up your project folders, and establish how AI will collaborate with you as an "epistemic partner."

Quick Start

Initialize a new project named 'My Research' with the research question 'How do middle managers make sense of organizational change?' and an interpretivist ontology.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-setup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a qualitative research project with a defined philosophical stance?▼

Project setup guides you through Socratic dialogue to establish your ontology, epistemology, and research tradition, then automatically generates a folder hierarchy and config.json tailored to your philosophical foundation, ensuring methodological consistency from project start.

What is epistemic partnership with AI in qualitative research?▼

Epistemic partnership defines how AI collaborates as a research co-reasoner aligned with your philosophical stance. During project initialization, you configure this relationship through guided dialogue, shaping all subsequent AI interactions to respect your interpretivist approach and research values.

How do I create a sandwich methodology folder structure for my research project?▼

Project setup automatically generates the sandwich methodology directory hierarchy through scripts that create organized data and analysis stages. Configuration responses from your Socratic onboarding drive folder creation, reflexivity journals, conversation logs, and decision histories into .interpretive-orchestration.

What files and artifacts does project initialization create?▼

Project setup outputs config.json storing your philosophical stance, reflexivity-journal.md for researcher reflection, conversation-log.jsonl tracking dialogue, decision-history.md documenting choices, and stage- and data-structure folders enforcing the sandwich methodology layout.

Do I need any prerequisites or prior knowledge before starting a qualitative research project setup?▼

Project setup enforces Stage 1 prerequisites and path-traversal protection checks before proceeding. It guides you through defining research questions and philosophical positions via Socratic dialogue, requiring no prior setup—only clarity on your research intent and epistemological stance.
