SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Managing complex ideas often requires gathering information from multiple sources, organizing insights, and preparing actionable outputs. This Skill automates multi-source research by combining web search, Context7 for technical docs, and codebase analysis into structured findings that inform decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source research: Integrates web search, Context7 for technical docs, and optional codebase analysis to surface a holistic view.
  • Structured outputs: Produces research questions, synthesis, open questions, and clear recommendations.
  • Flow integration: Works with follow-on thinking skills like /thinking-concept, /thinking-brainstorm, and /thinking-critique to expand or refine concepts.

Quick Start

Start by providing a concept to research and let the system fetch sources and synthesize findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct multi-source research for a technical concept?

You conduct multi-source research by providing a concept to trigger a workflow that fetches web search results, Context7 technical documentation, and codebase analysis, producing structured findings with cited sources.

What is the best way to synthesize ideas from web search and technical docs?

The best way to synthesize ideas from web search and technical docs is to use a research workflow that integrates Context7 and codebase analysis, generating actionable insights and clear recommendations with cited sources.

Can I use codebase analysis alongside web search for project research?

Yes, you can use codebase analysis alongside web search and Context7 technical docs to surface a holistic view of a concept, with synthesized outputs saved to your project concepts or thinking folders.

How does Context7 integration work for technical documentation research?

Context7 integration works by fetching technical documentation during the research workflow, combining the retrieved docs with web search and codebase analysis to synthesize structured findings and open questions for the provided concept.

Do I need to provide a specific concept to start the research workflow?

Yes, you need to provide a specific concept to start the research workflow, which then automatically fetches sources and synthesizes findings into structured outputs including research questions, synthesis, open questions, and recommendations.

What structured outputs are generated from multi-source research?

The structured outputs generated from multi-source research include research questions, synthesis, open questions, and clear recommendations, all clearly cited with sources and synthesized into actionable insights.
