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.
