What problem does it solve? Research projects accumulate scattered notes, proposals, and experiment records with no consistent structure, making it hard to know where a direction stands or where a new file belongs. This Skill defines a lightweight skeleton for a .kilo/ workspace so every research direction has a clear location, status, and lifecycle. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-directory layout: Manages proposal/, project/, archive/, and knowledge/ directories with two-digit NN-slug naming and date-prefixed archive folders. - Index and TODO layer: Maintains global.md as a pure index (≤60 lines) and TODO.md as the single source of project progress with a three-level tree (main line → phases → current approaches). - Lifecycle and archiving: Handles five outcomes (rejected, falsified, validated, superseded, abandoned), enforces REPORT.md deliverable rules, and generates dated status snapshots in .kilo/reports/. - Use Case: When a research idea passes evaluation and the user says GO, the Skill moves the direction from proposal/03-slug/ to project/03-slug/, updates the index, and later archives it as archive/2025-01-15-03-slug/ with a SUMMARY.md pointer when the direction closes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize a .kilo research project skeleton with the standard directory layout and index files.
