Do other qualitative research skills require qual-shared?

Yes, all other qual-* skills depend on these components for shared state management and defensive routing.

Where does the skill store project configurations?

All configurations and state data are stored within the .interpretive-orchestration/ directory in your project root.

What is the primary role of the qual-shared skill?

It provides the core infrastructure for qualitative research projects, managing state, logging, and enforcing methodological boundaries.

How does the skill handle research logs?

It uses a hybrid approach, creating JSONL for machine-readable data and Markdown for human-readable reflexivity journals.

What is the 'Defensive Skill Router' feature?

It is a utility that validates project setup and ensures stage requirements are met before allowing progression to the next research phase.

Ciencia de Datos y ML

Manages the foundational state, logging, and workflow enforcement for AI-assisted qualitative research projects.

Qual-Shared serves as the backbone of the Interpretive Orchestration framework, providing essential utilities for state management, batched reasoning logs, and strict workflow enforcement. It ensures project integrity by acting as a single source of truth for research progress, validating project structures, and maintaining a hybrid logging system for transparency. This skill is indispensable for researchers using Claude to perform structured, multi-stage qualitative analysis while maintaining rigorous documentation and an audit trail of the AI's interpretive process.
