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.
