SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The RESEARCH.md standard defines the format, structure, and quality criteria for research documents so that domain context is consistently captured and easily consumed by downstream agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized RESEARCH.md template with frontmatter and section guide to ensure completeness.
  • Clear terminology definitions and scope boundaries to prevent ambiguity.
  • Use Case: A researcher creates a RESEARCH.md at project kickoff to provide context, assumptions, and references for team members and automated agents.

Quick Start

Generate a RESEARCH.md following the Output Template for a new project, including core principle, domain background, and references.

FAQPage Schema
What is a RESEARCH.md document and when do I need it for my project?

A RESEARCH.md document standardizes domain context, assumptions, and references for research-driven projects. You need it at project kickoff to ensure team members and downstream agents consume explicit terminology and scope boundaries consistently.

How do I structure a RESEARCH.md file to ensure consistent knowledge management?

Structure your RESEARCH.md using a standardized template with frontmatter, terminology definitions, scope boundaries, and a references section. This ensures completeness and prevents ambiguity when capturing domain background and core principles.

Can I use the RESEARCH.md template for domain-specific research projects?

Yes, the RESEARCH.md template is designed for research-driven projects requiring explicit terminology and assumptions. It provides a ready-to-use skeleton to encode domain concepts and specify concise guidelines for scope and references.

What's the best way to document research assumptions and terminology for downstream agents?

The best way is generating a compliant RESEARCH.md document that defines core principles, domain concepts, and scope boundaries. This standardized format ensures automated agents can easily consume and interpret the project context.

Why does my research documentation lack consistent context for team members?

Your research documentation lacks consistency without a standardized RESEARCH.md format. Without clear terminology definitions, frontmatter, and scope boundaries, domain context becomes ambiguous and difficult for downstream agents to consume.

Does the RESEARCH.md format work without external dependencies?

Yes, the RESEARCH.md format works without external dependencies. It is a standalone documentation standard that provides a ready-to-use skeleton template to ensure quality and structure for research-driven projects.
