SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep research runs with explicit source policy, comparison tables, confidence levels, Q&A appendix, and gap analysis—outputs a dated research pack under workspace/drafts/research/. Karpathy-style: one primary artifact per run, clear done criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Traceable outputs: Every non-obvious claim links to a source note (URL or citation) and is timestamped.
  • Single primary artifact: Generates one dated research report per run, plus optional CSV artifacts for structured data.
  • Structured workflow & handoff: Supports scoping, source planning, structured note collection, synthesis, comparison, Q&A appendix, gaps, and a handoff-ready README.

Quick Start

Execute an autonomous literature scan and produce a dated, source-backed research report under workspace/drafts/research/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a research report with citations and traceable sources?▼

To generate a source-backed research report, use this Skill to autonomously scan literature, compile reliable sources, and output a dated document with explicit citations and traceable source notes under workspace/drafts/research/.

What is the best way to perform gap analysis during competitive analysis?▼

Performing gap analysis during competitive analysis is done by synthesizing structured notes to identify missing information, which this Skill includes in its final research pack alongside an executive summary and Q&A appendix.

Can I automate literature scans for policy evaluation and product exploration?▼

Yes, you can automate literature scans for policy evaluation and product exploration by running this Skill to identify reliable sources and compile a tailored, dated research report with confidence levels and comparison tables.

How does traceability work in an autonomous research pack?▼

Traceability in an autonomous research pack works by linking every non-obvious claim to a specific source note containing a URL or citation, which is then timestamped within the final dated report artifact.

Does the research report include structured data exports like CSV?▼

Yes, the research report includes optional CSV artifacts for structured data alongside the single primary dated document, ensuring comparison tables and collected notes are available for downstream analysis.
