Research & Evaluation Corpus Setup

Scaffold a navigable, version-controlled corpus for any qualitative research or evaluation project. Locks in scope and citation decisions upfront (charter), ingests source documents into a markdown layer, runs a parallel KII/FGD transcript pipeline, and maintains three living navigation files (INDEX, SECTION-MAP, PROJECT-CONTEXT) so the corpus stays traversable as it grows. Pairs with research-synthesis-pipeline, which consumes the corpus this skill produces.

Questions

Before you install.

What exactly is a skill?

A skill is a folder your AI loads on demand: a SKILL.md with the method, reference files, a cheatsheet and a provenance manifest. The model answers from it and replies [NOT IN SOURCE] instead of inventing.

Which AIs does it work with?

This skill installs into Claude Code, opencode, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini — and any tool that reads a SKILL.md.

Will it answer from the source?

Yes. Every package carries explicit answering rules: cite the section for each claim, label authority vs reasoning, and never invent a figure, citation or rule.

Is it kept current?

Yes. Method and donor skills are reviewed quarterly and you can re-download the latest version from your dashboard.
