undefined-ui / second-brain-report
Produce a research report from the vault: scope the question against existing pages, name the gaps, and write findings with citations, disagreements and limits. Use this skill when the user asks for a research report, a deep write-up on a topic, or wants to understand a subject thoroughly using what they have collected. Do NOT use for a quick answer from the vault, for drafting an article in the user's voice, or for summarising a single source.
Write a research report
A report that presents only findings looks stronger and is less useful, because
the reader cannot tell where it is load-bearing and where it is thin.
Core rule
Scope against the vault first. Most of the work in a good report is knowing what
you do not need to look up.
Workflow
Inventory what exists. Which pages cover this, what is thin, what is
missing entirely. That answer is the research plan.Report the gaps before writing, so the user can decide whether to ingest
more first.Write from pages, citing pages. Every claim traces to a source page with
a URL behind it.- Record disagreement where sources conflict, with dates and who says what.
State what could not be established and what evidence would change the
conclusion.- Save to
output/and offer to ingest it back as a source.
Output format
## Question
## What the vault covers (with [[page]] citations)
## Where sources disagree
## What I could not establish
## What would change this
## Pages read: <list>Calibration
If the vault covers less than half the question, say so at the top rather than
producing a report that reads as complete.
Never fill a gap from general knowledge without labelling it as outside the
vault. A report whose sources cannot be checked is worth less than a short one
that can.
