SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured research work often stalls at session start—researchers must gather context, decide next steps, and route to the right tools. This Skill acts as a meta-orchestrator to load state, generate a compact briefing, and hand off to the appropriate sub-skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context loading from key files including .claude/research-state.yaml, events.jsonl, IDEAS.md, and CLAUDE.md to surface current work and backlog.
  • Briefing generation that summarizes training status, knowledge base health, active threads, and backlog with recommended focus.
  • Automatic routing to sub-skills such as /paper-read, /research-companion, /academic, /mental-gym, /weekly-review, or /orchestrate as tasks evolve.
  • Phase-based workflow that guides a user from Context Load through BRIEFING to ROUTE and TRANSITION, with options for "Briefing only" or "Deep work".
  • On-demand modes to support quick checks or deep work sessions.

Quick Start

Say "research-session" to load the current state, generate a briefing, and route to the appropriate sub-skills.
