SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research outlines often need additional fields after the initial setup, and manually editing fields.yaml risks inconsistent formatting or missed domain fields. This Skill locates the existing fields file, proposes new fields from user input or web search, and appends confirmed entries in place. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Auto-locate Fields File: Finds and reads the existing */fields.yaml in the current working directory. - Two Supplement Sources: Accept fields directly from the user or launch a web search agent to discover common fields in the research domain. - Confirmed In-place Update: Displays suggested fields, lets the user pick categories and detail levels, then appends only confirmed entries to fields.yaml. - Use Case: While researching a topic like electric vehicles, you realize the outline lacks battery and charging fields. Run the Skill, choose web search, confirm the suggested fields, and the fields.yaml is updated without manual editing. ## Quick Start Run /research-add-fields and choose whether to type new fields yourself or search the web for common fields in your research topic.

What happens if no fields.yaml file exists in my directory?▼
