Research Methodology
Turn an open question into a bounded, evidence-led investigation rather than a plausible-sounding synthesis.
Why Install This Skill
Turn an open question into a bounded, evidence-led investigation rather than a plausible-sounding synthesis. It preserves a practical method, local reference material, and reusable templates so an agent can do more than produce a generic answer.
Use it when the work needs a repeatable process and an inspectable result. It is portable across Agent Skills-compatible clients and does not require a profile system or a particular task orchestrator.

Reference material: industry-analysis.md, journalistic-research.md, research-lifecycle.md, source-evaluation.md, structured-analytic-techniques.md, synthesis-patterns.md, technical-verification.md |

Assets: research-brief.md, research-log.md |
Quick Start
Choose the research track in SKILL.md, then start from assets/research-brief.md and maintain a research log.
Install or expose this directory using your agent's standard Agent Skills loading mechanism, then ask for work that matches the triggers below.
Triggers
- Plan, conduct, evaluate, and synthesize rigorous research. Use for journalistic, industry, or technical investigations that need credible evidence and a traceable method.
- Requests involving the method, deliverables, or review process described in
SKILL.md. - Work where a reusable template or reference from this skill would reduce avoidable mistakes.
Requirements
No runtime dependency. Use appropriate retrieval tools and retain source URLs and access dates in the research log.
Source and maintenance
This skill was extracted from magnus919/hermes-profiles at commit 867a555. The portable methodology was retained; Hermes-specific profile, orchestration, and memory assumptions were removed.
