Research Project Start

Agent skill
1 skill

Start a stateful, multi-week research project — the lifecycle axis, orthogonal to the depth axis the /research skill carries. Triggers on explicit project-lifecycle phrasing — \"start a research project\", \"set up a research project on X\", \"begin a sustained investigation\", \"open a research dossier\" — never on a one-shot lookup. Scaffolds the three-layer project folder (overview.md + a raw sources/ layer + the later digest and synthesis), records the question and a possibly-empty working hypothesis, and sets phase to capture. Resolves the project parent from the [research] table of an adopter-created agentbundle-layout.toml, else a scratch .context/research default, else by eliciting — never the committed repo tree. Prompt-only: phase is a frontmatter string the agent reads and writes; no engine, index, daemon, or counter. Does not replace /research — episodic quick/standard/applied/deep lookups stay there.
