Why does the skill generate an epistemic-stance.md file?

This file serves as a human-readable reference for your research philosophy, ensuring your AI 'thinking partner' remains consistent with your chosen framework.

What is Socratic onboarding in this context?

It is an interactive dialogue where the AI asks targeted questions to help you clarify your project's ontology, epistemology, and methodology before analysis begins.

What qualitative traditions are supported?

It includes presets for Gioia & Corley Systematic Interpretivism, Charmaz Constructivist Grounded Theory, Glaserian Grounded Theory, Phenomenology, and Ethnography.

Can I pause and resume the initialization process?

Yes, the skill automatically saves checkpoints after every question, allowing you to use the --resume flag to pick up where you left off.

Initializes qualitative research projects through a Socratic onboarding process that establishes philosophical foundations and methodological frameworks.

The qual-init skill provides a structured, dialogue-driven onboarding flow designed for qualitative researchers. It guides users through five critical questions regarding ontology, epistemology, methodology, AI partnership roles, and project planning. By the end of the flow, the skill automatically generates a standardized folder structure, a machine-readable configuration file, and a human-readable epistemic-stance.md document. This ensures that subsequent AI-assisted analysis is deeply aligned with the researcher's specific theoretical framework and qualitative tradition.
