SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill standardizes the lifecycle of research projects by enabling formal proposals, structured scaffolding, and scope augmentations, ensuring governance, traceability, and reproducibility across efforts.

Core Features & Use Cases

Modes for end-to-end project lifecycle: propose (agent-initiated gap analysis and formal proposal), scaffold (human-initiated interactive setup), and augment (human-initiated expansion of an existing project's scope).
Encourages evidence-based decision making by requiring citations and explicit scope checks before activation.
Integrates with the repository's AGENTS.md conventions, memory, and plan/experiment scaffolding for consistent execution.

Quick Start

Instruct the agent to run /project scaffold to create a new project or /project propose to generate a proposal.

FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new research project structure from scratch?▼

You can scaffold a research project by running the interactive setup mode to define an immutable mission and generate structural plans. This creates a standardized project structure ensuring governance, traceability, and reproducibility across your research efforts.

What is the best way to manage governance and scope augmentation for existing research projects?▼

The best way to manage governance and scope augmentation is using the interactive augmentation mode to expand existing project scopes. It enforces evidence-based decisions by requiring explicit scope checks and citations before activation, maintaining structured lifecycle governance.

Can I generate a formal research proposal automatically using an agent?▼

Yes, you can generate a formal research proposal automatically using the agent-initiated proposal mode. This mode performs gap analysis and creates formal proposals while integrating with repository conventions, memory, and plan scaffolding for consistent execution.

Does the project lifecycle workflow require citations before activating a proposal?▼

Yes, the project lifecycle workflow requires citations and explicit scope checks before activating a proposal. This evidence-based decision-making requirement ensures that all agent-driven proposals and human-initiated scaffolds maintain strict governance and reproducibility standards.

How does research project coordination integrate with existing repository conventions?▼

Research project coordination integrates with repository conventions through the AGENTS.md file. It leverages memory integration, tasks and plans generation, and module/registry interactions as defined in your repository to ensure consistent execution across multiple projects.
