SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually configuring a fresh OMCR (oh-my-claudecode-research) project after running the initial setup is tedious and error-prone, requiring users to edit multiple placeholder files, configure agent memory, and set up manuscript directories themselves. This skill eliminates that manual work by walking users through a guided interview to collect all necessary research context in one flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided interview flow: Only asks for missing or unfilled project fields, skipping already completed entries to avoid redundant work.
  • Automated config population: Fills CLAUDE.md placeholders with user-provided research details including working title, hypothesis, target venue, datasets, and narrative spine.
  • Agent memory & manuscript setup: Applies optional domain presets to agent memory, seeds the @reviewer agent with venue-specific scope, and scaffolds a LaTeX manuscript directory for immediate writing.
  • Use case: A researcher who just installed OMCR and ran /omcr-setup can complete their entire project initialization in 5 minutes instead of manually editing 10+ configuration files.

Quick Start

Invoke the /start-research command in a freshly set up OMCR project to begin the guided interview that collects your research details, configures agent memory, and scaffolds your LaTeX manuscript directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize an academic research project using Claude Code without manually editing configuration files?

To initialize an academic research project, you can use a guided interview flow that automatically collects your research context and populates CLAUDE.md placeholders. This replaces manual configuration by filling in your working title, hypothesis, datasets, and narrative spine in one automated process.

What does a guided interview flow do for LaTeX manuscript scaffolding and agent memory setup?

A guided interview flow for LaTeX manuscript scaffolding and agent memory setup collects missing research details interactively, applies domain presets to agent memory, seeds the @reviewer agent with venue-specific scope, and creates a ready-to-use manuscript directory for immediate writing.

Can I use the oh-my-claudecode-research plugin to seed venue-specific reviewer memory automatically?

Yes, you can use the oh-my-claudecode-research plugin to seed venue-specific reviewer memory automatically. The initialization process configures the @reviewer agent with scope tailored to your target venue, though optional flags are available to skip venue seeding if needed.

What is the best way to configure a fresh OMCR research project after running the initial setup?

The best way to configure a fresh OMCR research project is through an automated guided interview that asks only for missing fields, avoiding redundant work. It populates configuration files, sets up agent memory, and scaffolds your LaTeX manuscript directory in minutes instead of manual editing.

Is it safe to re-run the research initialization interview if I already have existing content in my project files?

Yes, it is safe to re-run the research initialization interview because the process enforces safe re-run behavior that preserves existing user content. It intelligently skips already completed entries and only asks for missing or unfilled project fields to avoid overwriting your work.

Do I need to run /omcr-setup before I can scaffold a LaTeX manuscript directory with Claude Code?

Yes, you need to run /omcr-setup first to establish the base OMCR project structure before scaffolding a LaTeX manuscript directory. The guided interview initialization builds upon this existing setup to populate configuration files and prepare your writing environment.
