SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Targeted document searches can miss broader themes, hidden gaps, and alternative framings of a research question. This Skill adds a contextual analysis step to the Spinosa research workflow, challenging assumptions and widening perspective before synthesis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Contextual Analysis: Reads the project context and dictionary to surface themes, gaps, and alternative framings beyond a literal query. - Artifact-Based Workflow: Writes a structured analysis packet to agent_reports/ that later synthesis steps can build on. - Bounded Scope: Works only from context and prior artifacts, never searching raw sources, so it complements rather than duplicates the Searcher step. - Use Case: After a search agent gathers evidence on interview transcripts, invoke this Skill to identify underrepresented perspectives and reframings before writing the final report. ## Quick Start Ask the orchestrator to run the analyst step on the current research question so it writes a contextual analysis packet to agent_reports based on the project context and prior artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add broader context to a document research workflow?▼

Run a contextual analysis step that reads the project context and dictionary files, then writes a structured packet covering themes, gaps, alternative framings, and limitations. Downstream synthesis steps consume this packet as an artifact.

What does the spinosa-analyst skill do?▼

It produces a contextual analysis report for a research question using project context, the corpus dictionary, and prior artifact paths. It deliberately does not search raw sources, leaving evidence gathering to the Searcher step.

Can the analyst step search raw documents for evidence?▼

No. The Skill explicitly forbids grepping, globbing, or reading the raw/ directory. It works only from context and prior artifacts, and flags where Searcher results are needed to validate its observations.

What happens if project setup is not complete?▼

If context.md is still a template, the Skill says so and provides only general analytical framing rather than corpus-specific observations.

What are the limitations of context-only analysis?▼

Observations are labeled contextual rather than factual because they are not grounded in raw corpus evidence. The analysis must flag claims that require validation against actual sources before being treated as findings.
