SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps an AI agent diagnose where a humanities research task stands, choose the smallest valid next step, and avoid pretending that unfinished work is ready for submission.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Research state diagnosis: Classifies tasks such as question formation, scope setting, source work, interpretation, argument planning, review, revision, and submission checks.
  • Workflow orchestration: Selects and sequences the minimum needed skills, handles failed gates, preserves provenance, and supports resuming interrupted work.
  • Decision and safety handling: Flags missing prerequisites, routes rollback when a gate fails, and stops fabrication, privacy, ethics, or reviewer-response shortcuts.
  • Use case: A researcher asks whether a draft is submission-ready, and the Skill routes the task through the relevant verification steps while surfacing unresolved risks.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to diagnose your current humanities research state, identify the smallest valid next skill route, and tell you whether to proceed, pause, roll back, or request a researcher decision.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose the current state of a humanities research workflow?

To diagnose a humanities research workflow, classify the task into stages like question formation, source work, interpretation, or revision. This identifies the smallest valid next action while preserving provenance and handling any unresolved scholarly decisions.

What is the best way to handle rollback when a research workflow gate fails?

Handling rollback when a research workflow gate fails requires routing the task back to the previous valid state. This prevents pretending unfinished work is submission-ready and stops fabrication or ethics shortcuts by flagging missing prerequisites.

Can I use workflow orchestration to resume interrupted humanities research sessions?

Yes, you can use workflow orchestration to resume interrupted humanities research sessions. It selects and sequences the minimum needed skills, supports resuming work, and maintains explicit visibility for any unresolved scholarly decisions during the process.

How do I verify if a manuscript draft is submission-ready?

To verify if a manuscript draft is submission-ready, route the task through relevant submission checks and verification steps. This process surfaces unresolved risks, ensures gate-aware sequencing, and stops reviewer-response shortcuts before final submission.

When should I request a researcher decision during source verification?

You should request a researcher decision during source verification when the workflow encounters missing prerequisites or unresolved scholarly decisions. Flagging these issues halts fabrication and privacy shortcuts, ensuring provenance preservation before proceeding.
