# Academic Research Skill Deep literature research with 25-50+ sources through iterative search cycles. ## Workflow ### 1. Auto-Detect & Clarify **Language:** Auto-detected from user prompt (no need to ask) **Ask User:** **Output Format:** - "Obsidian markdown mı PDF mi?" / "Obsidian markdown or PDF?" **If Obsidian:** "Vault'ta ilgili notları arayayım mı?" / "Search vault for related notes?" **If yes:** "Vault yolu?" / "Vault path?" → Default: `/home/user/Documents/Obsidian Vault/` **If PDF:** Skip vault integration **Save Location:** "Nereye kaydedeyim?" / "Where to save?" **Topic Analysis & Mode Suggestion:** - **Narrow/Specific** → Focused: 12-18 sources, 5-7 search cycles - **Broad/Complex** → Comprehensive: 25-35 sources, 8-12 cycles - **Very Broad** → Deep: 40-50+ sources, 12-15 cycles - **Comparative** → Synthesis: 15-25 sources, 6-9 cycles State suggestion, proceed unless user objects. **Scope:** "Odak veya hariç tutulacak alan?" / "Focus or exclusions?" ### 2. Iterative Research Process **Search Cycles Based on Mode:** - Focused: 5-7 iterative cycles - Comprehensive: 8-12 iterative cycles - Deep: 12-15+ iterative cycles - Synthesis: 6-9 iterative cycles **Each Cycle:** 1. Execute search with specific query 2. Evaluate results (quality, relevance, gaps) 3. Identify what's missing (perspectives, time periods, methodologies) 4. Formulate next targeted query 5. Cross-validate findings 6. Document effective vs. ineffective strategies

Generate and dynamically maintain a visual project cockpit for any research or development project — a zero-dependency HTML dashboard with a research-trajectory flowchart, a hypothesis-space force graph, a status header, a pending-decisions list, and a hidden-premises panel. Use it when the user asks to "build / update / refresh the project cockpit", or whenever the project reaches a milestone closure, a major decision point, or a moment when the human needs to re-orient and steer the pace after long agent-run campaigns. The skill is project-agnostic and reusable.
