Research & Literature Gathering Skill

Overview

Use this skill when implementing calculations requires identifying applicable standards, gathering reference literature, and mapping gaps. It queries three existing data sources and produces a structured YAML research brief.

Inputs

  • category: engineering discipline (e.g. geotechnical, structural, subsea)
  • subcategory: specific topic (e.g. pile_capacity, fatigue, viv_analysis)

8-Step Workflow

  1. Query the Standards Ledger
  2. Query the Document Index
  3. Cross-Reference Capability Map
  4. Produce the Research Brief
  5. Search University & Academic Resources
  6. Document Download Tasks
  7. Deep Online Research
  8. Download Script Generation

See workflow-steps.md for detailed commands and procedures for each step.

See templates.md for the research brief YAML template and domain-to-repo mapping.

AC Checklist

  • [ ] Standards ledger queried for domain
  • [ ] Doc index searched with category and subcategory keywords
  • [ ] Capability map cross-referenced for implementation status
  • [ ] University/academic resources searched (textbooks, coursework, OCW)
  • [ ] Worked examples with known answers identified for TDD tests
  • [ ] Coursework materials archived in knowledge/dark-intelligence/<category>/
  • [ ] Research brief YAML saved to .planning/capability-map/research-briefs/
  • [ ] Download tasks identified with availability status
  • [ ] Brief reviewed for completeness before handing off to implementation WRK
  • [ ] Deep online research performed (WebSearch for free PDFs and papers)
  • [ ] Download script generated via --generate-download-script
  • [ ] Download script manually curated with discovered URLs
  • [ ] Downloads validated with file *.pdf (no HTML/WAF responses)
