SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you research a topic deeply and then place the findings in the context of GraphReFly so you can make informed decisions instead of relying on vague impressions or isolated articles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Topic extraction from user input: Interprets a topic, an optional trigger (like a post URL), and the angle to focus the research.
  • Multi-angle web landscape research: Runs several web searches and reads multiple sources to summarize trends, pain points, competitors, and future directions.
  • GraphReFly context grounding: Cross-references the topic against the canonical implementation plan, roadmap/vision framing, active optimizations backlog, and relevant design-archive sessions.
  • Structured outputs for discussion: Produces a scannable report with trend summary, user patterns, competitor matrix, GraphReFly positioning, and a plan-alignment table, ending with recommendations and discussion prompts.

Quick Start

Ask for a trend/competitor landscape by saying: "research 'reactive graph orchestration for human+LLM collaboration' and include links and how it affects GraphReFly direction."

Frequently Asked Questions about research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct competitor analysis and align market landscape findings with my product roadmap?

Competitor analysis requires executing multiple web searches, extracting trends and pain points, and cross-referencing findings against your implementation plan and backlog. This produces a structured report with a competitor matrix, positioning summary, and explicit roadmap gap alignment.

What is the best way to research user adoption pain points from a specific post URL?

Researching user adoption pain points involves interpreting a post URL as a trigger, reading multiple web sources, and summarizing user patterns. It outputs a structured landscape report with citations, focusing on specific triggers and angles relevant to your product direction.

Can I use web research to discover gaps in my product requirements and optimization backlog?

Yes, web research can discover roadmap gaps by running multi-angle searches and grounding conclusions against your canonical implementation plan and active optimizations backlog. It generates a plan-alignment table highlighting missing requirements.

How do I generate a trend summary with citations for product positioning?

Generating a trend summary involves multi-angle web landscape research across several sources to identify future directions and competitor positioning. It outputs a scannable report containing trend summaries, competitor matrices, and citations for grounded product positioning.

Does web research for market landscape require specific dependencies or components?

Market landscape web research requires no external dependencies or components. It operates independently to perform multiple web searches, read promising results, and output structured findings aligned with internal design archive sessions.

When should I not use automated web research for roadmap gap discovery?

Automated web research for roadmap gap discovery is limited when internal design archive sessions or canonical implementation plans are outdated, as the output alignment table depends entirely on the accuracy of those internal documents.
