What problem does it solve? Research project records grow incrementally and are rarely read end to end, so returning to a project after a gap—or joining one mid-stream—leaves you unable to explain what was done, why, or what a claim rests on. This Skill rebuilds that understanding from the project's own documents and repairs the records where they failed to transfer. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Grounded Orientation: Locates the claim spine, status, chronology, and actual commit effort across whatever layout the project uses, citing every statement to a file, dated entry, or commit. - Claim-Scoped Depth: Traces one claim from its ledger entry through derivations, code, and results until you can defend it to a reviewer—generative model, load-bearing assumptions, regime of validity, and first objections. - Defect Detection and Repair: Distinguishes gaps you forgot from gaps in the record, routes defects (stale spines, missing rationales, symbol collisions) back into the project's existing documents, and maintains a reconciled notation table. - Use Case: You return to a stalled research project and ask what the main proof rests on; the Skill reads the newest log entries, follows the claim's evidence trail, diagnoses what you misremember, and records a dead end that was never written down. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to walk you through this research project and explain what its main claim rests on, citing the project records.
