SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates deep, structured research to surface recurring friction and transform findings into atomic, actionable improvement plans stored locally for review and execution by humans.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel agent orchestration: Spawns Opus agents for friction analysis and external exploration across multiple rounds to gather diverse evidence.
  • Synthesis and plan generation: Synthesizes results from three research rounds (explore, deepen, contrarian) and writes immutable plan files with a status of proposed.
  • Stateful coordination and safety: Reads and updates state in ~/.claude/recursion, enforces privacy rules, avoids executing plans, and records sources crawled and knowledge base updates.
  • Use Case: Nightly research runs that analyze recent sessions and external sources to propose focused, verifiable improvements to the skill collection.

Quick Start

Invoke the research skill to run the deep research workflow and write proposed atomic plans to ~/.claude/recursion/plans/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate friction analysis to generate actionable improvement plans?

To automate friction analysis and generate actionable improvement plans, this skill orchestrates parallel agents across three research rounds to synthesize evidence and write atomic, verifiable plans to a local directory.

What is the process for synthesizing research findings into atomic plans?

Synthesizing research findings into atomic plans involves running explore, deepen, and contrarian research rounds in parallel, then writing the combined results as immutable proposed files to a local plans directory.

Does this deep research workflow require local read/write access to run?

Yes, this deep research workflow requires local read/write access to the ~/.claude/recursion state directory, alongside WebSearch, WebFetch, and agent tooling to orchestrate parallel research rounds.

Can I execute the proposed improvement plans directly within the research skill?

No, you cannot execute proposed improvement plans directly within the research skill because it enforces strict privacy and safety rules that prevent executing plans or uploading sensitive data during the orchestration process.

What limitations exist when running nightly research with parallel agents?

A key limitation when running nightly research with parallel agents is that the skill only proposes improvements to a local knowledge base; it will not execute the generated plans or upload sensitive session data externally.
