SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents valuable research from getting lost by creating a persistent, compounding knowledge base that captures papers, ideas, experiments, claims, and how they relate over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent research memory: Ingests papers into a project wiki and keeps an audit trail for what changed and when.
  • Structured entity graph: Organizes knowledge into typed nodes (papers, ideas, experiments, claims) and typed relationships stored as graph/edges.jsonl.
  • Query-friendly summaries: Produces a budgeted query_pack.md that helps downstream ideation and retrieval reuse the wiki without re-deriving everything from scratch.

Quick Start

Use the research-wiki skill to initialize the wiki for your project by running: initialize a new research wiki by executing research-wiki init.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a persistent knowledge graph from research papers?

To build a persistent knowledge graph from research papers, use a skill that ingests reading notes and maintains typed relationships across papers, ideas, experiments, and claims. It creates a queryable field map by storing structured entity relationships in a graph file.

What is the best way to organize scattered research notes for retrieval?

Organizing scattered research notes for retrieval involves creating a persistent knowledge base that deduplicates information and tracks evidence. This approach maintains an audit trail of what changed and generates compact summaries for downstream ideation without re-deriving everything from scratch.

Can I track typed relationships between experiments and claims in a knowledge base?

Yes, you can track typed relationships between experiments and claims by maintaining a structured entity graph. This process fits workflows that ingest papers and stores typed nodes and relationships as edges in a JSONL file for deterministic schema-driven updates.

How do I generate compact summaries from a research wiki for ideation?

You generate compact summaries from a research wiki by producing a budgeted query pack. This query-friendly markdown file helps downstream ideation and retrieval reuse the wiki efficiently, preventing valuable research from getting lost over time.

Do I need any dependencies to initialize a research wiki?

No external dependencies are required to initialize a research wiki. The process uses a canonical helper script resolved from a local tools directory and persists wiki artifacts including graph edges and query packs with deterministic schema-driven updates.

Why does my research knowledge base lose valuable information over time?

A research knowledge base loses valuable information over time because reading notes remain scattered and unconnected. Compounding this knowledge base by capturing papers, ideas, experiments, claims, and their relationships prevents loss and maintains a persistent audit trail.
