SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a research outline already exists but is missing important investigation fields, manually editing the fields.yaml file is error-prone and inconsistent. This Skill locates the existing fields file and adds new field definitions through a guided, confirmation-based workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Auto-locate Fields File: Automatically finds and reads the existing */fields.yaml in the current working directory. - Two Supplement Sources: Accept fields directly from user input or launch a web search agent to discover common fields in the research domain. - Confirmation Before Writing: Displays suggested fields, lets the user pick which to add, and specifies category and detail_level before saving. - Use Case: While preparing a market research outline on electric vehicles, you realize the outline lacks fields for battery suppliers and charging infrastructure. Run this Skill to search for common industry fields, confirm the relevant ones, and append them to fields.yaml in place. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /research-add-fields to add new field definitions to the current research outline's fields.yaml file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add new fields to an existing research outline?▼

Run the /research-add-fields command, which auto-locates the fields.yaml file in your working directory. You can then provide field names directly or use a web search agent to discover common fields, confirm your selection, and save the updates in place.

How to find common research fields for a domain using web search?▼

Choose the web search option when prompted by the Skill. It launches an agent that searches for common fields in your research domain, then displays the suggested list so you can confirm which ones to add.

Does research-add-fields overwrite my existing fields.yaml?▼

No, it appends confirmed fields to the existing fields.yaml file through in-place modification. The update only happens after you review the suggested fields and explicitly confirm which ones to add.

What happens if no fields.yaml file exists in the directory?▼

The Skill expects an existing fields.yaml file from a prior outline generation step and auto-locates it via the */fields.yaml pattern. If none exists, you should first create a research outline before adding supplementary fields.

Can I specify the category and detail level for new research fields?▼

Yes, during the confirmation step you specify the field category and detail_level for each field you choose to add. These attributes are saved along with the field definitions in fields.yaml.
