research-tracker

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured way to manage autonomous research agents, tracking their state, progress, and coordination in a single SQLite-based datastore. It solves the challenge of multi-step investigations, agent handoffs, and long-running tasks by offering a robust data-backed workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Append-only state tracking for research progress and events.
• Instruction queues and oversight to coordinate sub-agents and monitor background work.
• Use cases include spawning long-running research sub-agents, coordinating multi-step investigations, and auditing progress across projects.

Quick Start

Start a research project with the CLI, log progress, and monitor status to observe the lifecycle. For example: initialize a project with research init <project-id> --objective "<objective>" and then use research log to record steps, heartbeat to signal liveliness, and research status to verify progress.
