FAQPage Schema
How do I consolidate existing research and avoid duplicating documentation in my library?▼

To consolidate existing research, this skill scans your research library to locate relevant docs, identifies gaps, and standardizes new findings to prevent duplication. It checks the research index first before fetching new web documents.

What is the best way to organize new research findings into a standardized format?▼

To organize new research findings, this skill uses a new-research template to capture goals, key decisions, and sources. The synthesized document is saved to research/{number}-{topic}/README.md and the index at research/README.md is refreshed.

Can I automate web searches and document indexing for topics not covered in my research library?▼

Yes, you can automate web searches and indexing for uncovered topics. If no existing work covers the topic, the skill performs targeted web searches, fetches relevant docs, synthesizes findings, and appends new entries to the research index.

Does the research assistant require external dependencies to fetch and synthesize documentation?▼

No external dependencies are required to fetch and synthesize documentation. The skill operates independently to locate existing docs, conduct targeted web searches, and update the research library inventory without additional packages.

How do I maintain a research index when adding new entries to my documentation library?▼

To maintain a research index, append new entries to research/README.md after saving the new document. This ensures an organized inventory is kept up to date alongside the individual research folders.
