SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automated research decisions require time and access to diverse sources. This Skill provides a structured agent to perform external documentation research, best-practice synthesis, and library API discovery using MCP tooling, enabling faster decision-making and handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified research workflow: coordinates queries across Nia, Perplexity, and Firecrawl to gather credible sources.
  • Handoff-ready synthesis: transforms findings into a coherent handoff document with summaries and citations.
  • Plan-forward evaluation: supports feature planning by collecting API references, usage patterns, and best practices.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to research a topic and save the findings to the handoff directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate external research for API documentation and feature planning?

Automated external research for API documentation is handled by coordinating queries across Nia, Perplexity, and Firecrawl MCP tools to gather sources and synthesize findings into handoff documents.

What is the best way to synthesize external documentation into a handoff-ready format?

Synthesizing external documentation into a handoff-ready format uses a structured agent workflow that gathers credible sources via MCP tools and transforms them into coherent summaries with citations.

Can I use MCP tools to gather sources for evaluating libraries and best practices?

Yes, you can use MCP tools to gather sources for evaluating libraries and best practices by executing targeted queries that collect API references and usage patterns for decision-making.

Do I need any specific dependencies to run automated research workflows with MCP?

No specific dependencies are required to run automated research workflows with MCP, but you must provide a structured frontmatter with a name and description to define the research task.

How does automated research handle source credibility and citation in handoff outputs?

Automated research handles source credibility by querying diverse MCP tools and produces standardized handoff outputs that include summaries and citations gathered during the workflow.

When should I not use an automated research agent for documentation discovery?

You should not use an automated research agent for documentation discovery if your task lacks a defined MCP research workflow or does not require synthesized findings for handoff.
