SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping many specialized AI research skills loaded at startup bloats context and slows discovery. This pointer skill keeps startup context minimal by listing available AI research skills and telling the agent exactly where to load them on demand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Lightweight Discovery: Lists the available AI research skills (currently bdistill-knowledge-extraction) with a one-line summary so the right capability is easy to identify. - On-Demand Loading: Provides the exact vault path and read instructions so the full SKILL.md is only loaded when a matching task appears. - Use Case: When asked to extract structured domain knowledge from an AI model or a local Ollama model, the agent reads this pointer, locates bdistill-knowledge-extraction in the vault, and follows its instructions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to extract structured domain knowledge from a local Ollama model, and it will load the matching skill from the ai-research vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract structured knowledge from a local AI model?▼

Use the bdistill-knowledge-extraction skill referenced by this pointer. Read its SKILL.md from the vault at ~/.config/opencode/skill-libraries/ai-research/bdistill-knowledge-extraction/ and follow its instructions, which work in-session or with local models via Ollama.

What is a pointer skill and why use one?▼

A pointer skill is a minimal SKILL.md that lists specialized skills and their vault locations instead of loading full instructions at startup. It keeps the agent's initial context small while still making capabilities discoverable on demand.

Does knowledge extraction with Ollama require an API key?▼

No API key is needed. The referenced bdistill-knowledge-extraction skill works with local open-source models through Ollama, so extraction runs entirely on your own machine.

Where are the actual AI research skill instructions stored?▼

They are stored in a hidden vault at /home/kienct/.config/opencode/skill-libraries/ai-research. Each specialized skill has its own subdirectory containing a SKILL.md that must be read before use.

What happens if I skip reading the vault skill first?▼

The pointer explicitly warns against guessing best practices. Skipping the vault read means the agent lacks the specialized instructions, which can lead to incorrect or incomplete knowledge extraction results.
