SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Research and report generation often requires locating, vetting, and organizing evidence from multiple sources, then presenting a coherent, well-sourced narrative. This skill enforces a structured workflow that captures evidence notes, builds a plan, and consolidates a final report with explicit citations and a knowledge graph, all in the user's language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured workflow: plan, collect evidence, synthesize across sources, and produce a final report with citations.
  • Evidence notes: capture key claims, quotes, and uncertainties in a traceable format.
  • Synthesis & knowledge graph: generate a Mermaid knowledge graph to map relationships and influence between sources and claims.
  • Final consolidation: produce a modular, sectioned report that can be stitched into a complete document.
  • Use Case: a researcher investigates a topic, drafts initial sections, and then assembles a 1500–2500 word final report with a sources list.

Quick Start

Provide a topic prompt and let the system generate a fully cited research report in the user's language.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a sourced research report with citations automatically?

To generate a sourced research report, you provide a research question and the system executes a structured workflow of planning, evidence collection, cross-source synthesis, and final consolidation to produce a long-form document with explicit numeric citations.

What is cross-source synthesis and how does it map evidence relationships?

Cross-source synthesis consolidates evidence notes from multiple sources and maps their relationships by generating a Mermaid knowledge graph, visually linking claims and sources to support the final report narrative.

Can I produce a long-form report in my native language using this structured workflow?

Yes, you can produce a long-form report in your native language. The system identifies your research question and outputs the entire sourced document, including the knowledge graph and citations, in your specified language.

How do I document evidence gaps and uncertainties in a research report?

You document evidence gaps and uncertainties through traceable evidence notes captured during the collection phase, which are later transparently discussed in the final stitched report alongside the sources list.

What is the best way to structure a 1500-2500 word document with modular report sections?

The best way to structure a long-form document is by generating separate modular section files during the consolidation phase, which are then stitched into a complete 1500-2500 word report with a frontmatter, citations, and sources list.

Do I need to provide my own sources to build a knowledge graph for my research?

No, you do not need to provide your own sources. The system conducts preliminary evidence collection automatically after you provide a topic prompt, then synthesizes the findings to build the knowledge graph.
