# 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.
