refresh-research

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents your research knowledge base from going stale by re-fetching upstream sources and updating synthesis files with the latest facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Refreshable source tracking: Refreshes only repo and docs sources, based on source_type (with auto-detection when missing).
• Versioned raw sources: Stores every fetched update as a new dated raw file, never overwriting history.
• Surgical synthesis updates: Updates existing syntheses while preserving your analysis, plus logs changes in an Update Log section.
• Staleness & dry-run auditing: Supports audit-only reporting and refresh based on age thresholds to reduce unnecessary churn.

Quick Start

Run the refresh interactively so the system shows which entries are stale and lets you choose what to update.
