SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Stores and organizes research findings so teams avoid duplicating effort and can loop back to prior experiments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query existing findings to surface prior work before building.
  • Add new findings with structured metadata and citations after experiments.
  • Run research loops that web or internal sources to generate briefs and ideas, then log results to a central ledger.
  • Check whether an experiment has already been tried and prevent redundant work.
  • Read back a page or list pages by category to maintain institutional memory.

Quick Start

Start by querying existing research with research_query, then add findings with research_add, and run a loop with research_loop to begin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I store and query research findings to avoid duplicating experiments?

To avoid duplicating experiments, query existing research findings before building, then add new results with structured YAML metadata to an append-only ledger for persistent institutional memory.

What is the best way to maintain institutional memory across coding and design investigations?

Maintain institutional memory by logging experiment results into a central ledger and reading back wiki pages by category, ensuring prior coding, design, and growth findings remain accessible.

How do I run research loops to generate briefs and log results?

Run research loops by querying web or internal sources to generate briefs and ideas, then automatically logging the experiment results into a central append-only ledger for future reference.

Does the research knowledge search use vector embeddings for matching?

No, the research knowledge search does not use vector embeddings; it relies entirely on keyword and tag matching to surface existing findings from the structured YAML frontmatter.

Can I check if an experiment has already been tried before starting new work?

Yes, you can check if an experiment has already been tried by querying the persistent research ledger before building, which surfaces prior work and prevents redundant efforts across categories.
