What This Skill Does
ResearchVault manages persistent research state for AI agents using a local SQLite store. It tracks artifacts, findings, and links across sessions and supports parallel hypothesis branches with automated synthesis. A watchdog mode monitors URLs and queries continuously in the background.
Provides durable, queryable state between agent runs so research context is not lost when a session ends.
When to use it
- Tracking findings across multi-session research projects
- Running parallel hypothesis branches on a research topic
- Monitoring a subreddit for new relevant content over time
- Coordinating research state across multiple agents via MCP
- Flagging low-confidence findings for automated re-verification
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: Research rising underground metal bands in Finland
AGENT
- 1Initialize a new vault project with an objective
- 2Ingest sources by scraping target URLs into the vault
- 3Run synthesis to discover links between related findings
- 4Plan verification missions for low-confidence data points
- 5Review structured findings with linked artifacts
OUTPUT
A persistent vault containing verified findings, linked artifacts, and synthesis results organized under the project
