Research Workflow

Overview

research-workflow provides systematic multi-source research by orchestrating skill-researcher operations in optimal sequence.

Component Skill: skill-researcher (all 5 operations)

Workflow (5 steps):

  1. Web Search Research - Find best practices, recent information
  2. GitHub Repository Research - Discover code patterns, implementations
  3. Documentation Research - Study official docs, specifications
  4. MCP Server Research - Explore relevant MCP servers (if applicable)
  5. Synthesize Findings - Aggregate and consolidate all sources

Result: Comprehensive research synthesis from multiple credible sources

When to Use

  • Researching for new skill development
  • Investigating unfamiliar domains
  • Gathering implementation patterns
  • Technology/library research
  • Best practices discovery

Research Workflow

Step 1: Web Search Research

Search for best practices, recent blog posts, community knowledge.

Time: 15-30 minutes


Step 2: GitHub Repository Research

Find code examples, implementation patterns, community projects.

Time: 20-40 minutes


Step 3: Documentation Research

Study official documentation, specifications, API references.

Time: 20-40 minutes


Step 4: MCP Server Research (Optional)

Explore relevant MCP servers if domain has them.

Time: 15-30 minutes (skip if N/A)


Step 5: Synthesize Findings

Aggregate all sources, identify patterns, create synthesis document.

Time: 30-60 minutes


Quick Reference

The 5-Step Research Workflow

| Step | Source | Time | Output | |------|--------|------|--------| | 1 | Web Search | 15-30m | Best practices, recent info | | 2 | GitHub | 20-40m | Code patterns, examples | | 3 | Documentation | 20-40m | Official specs, APIs | | 4 | MCP Servers | 15-30m | Server capabilities (optional) | | 5 | Synthesis | 30-60m | Research synthesis document |

Total Time: 2-3.5 hours

Result: research-synthesis.md with 3-5 sources, identified patterns, best practices

Use in: development-workflow Step 1 (research phase)


research-workflow ensures comprehensive multi-source research for well-grounded skill development.
