FAQPage Schema

How do I save structured technical research notes from multiple web sources?▼

Deep research on technical topics involves collecting authoritative sources, cross-referencing information, and saving structured learnings to .agents/research/ for long-term access. It is needed for engineering, data, and product contexts requiring traceable notes.

What is the best way to cross-reference sources and distill actionable insights for engineering contexts?▼

The best way to distill actionable insights is using a synthesis workflow that gathers multiple authoritative sources and documents organized findings. This approach applies directly to engineering, data, and product exploration tasks.

Can I use this for deep technical exploration and save the results to a specific markdown file?▼

Yes, you can use this for deep technical exploration by asking the AI to perform focused research on a topic. Results are saved as structured learnings to .agents/research/[topic-slug].md for long-term access.

Does the research workflow require any external dependencies or components to run?▼

No external dependencies or components are required to run the research workflow. The Skill independently handles web searches, multi-source synthesis, and the automatic storage of structured learnings.

What are the limitations of automated web research and multi-source synthesis?▼

Automated web research relies on finding authoritative information available online, meaning synthesis quality depends on source availability. It is designed for technical topics rather than general knowledge queries.
