SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires playwright, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The researcher skill turns open reference material (URLs, handles, trend queries) into a single, cited research report (report.md) plus a machine-readable sources.json that a scenarist or art-director can act on.

Core Features & Use Cases

Aggregates per-source ref chains (pull -> frames -> transcripts -> analyses) into a cohesive handoff document.
Cross-source synthesis combines insights from multiple references into a narrative report and a structured sources.json.
Use Case: When a user provides several references, generate a ready-to-action research brief with citations and extractable findings to inform content creation.

Quick Start

Start a topic, add sources with research add-source, then synthesize to produce report.md and sources.json.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert URLs and references into a cited research report?▼

To convert URLs into a cited research report, aggregate your reference inputs and synthesize them to generate a unified narrative report.md file with a machine-readable sources.json index.

What is the best way to synthesize cross-source insights from multiple trend queries?▼

Synthesizing cross-source insights involves combining per-source ref chains from multiple trend queries into a cohesive narrative report and a structured sources.json file for downstream handoff.

Can I aggregate per-source ref chains for scenarists and art directors?▼

Yes, you can aggregate per-source ref chains like pull, frames, transcripts, and analyses into a cohesive handoff document with extractable key findings specifically for scenarists and art directors.

How do I generate a machine-readable source index from open reference material?▼

Generating a machine-readable source index from reference material produces a structured sources.json file alongside a cited report.md, enabling downstream content creation systems to ingest and act on the findings.

Does the research report workflow require playwright to process handles and URLs?▼

Yes, the research report workflow requires playwright as a dependency to process URLs, handles, and trend queries, pulling reference material to build the cited synthesis report.

What are the steps to start a topic and add sources for research synthesis?▼

To start a topic and add sources, initiate the research workflow, use the add-source command to input references, and then synthesize to produce the final report.md and sources.json deliverables.
