What kind of sources can I use for research?

The skill synthesizes information from codebase analysis, project documentation, the project constitution, and external web-based resources.

What is the primary purpose of the OAK Research Synthesis skill?

It is designed to help developers document and synthesize technical research findings into a structured format that informs task generation and implementation decisions.

Does this skill help with architectural decisions?

Yes, it includes a structured Recommendation section that requires an evidence-based rationale and consideration of alternatives for any technical choice.

How does this skill fit into the OAK workflow?

It sits between plan creation and task generation, turning identified research topics from your plan into validated findings and recommendations.

Where are the research findings stored?

Findings are stored in the oak/plan/research/ directory as Markdown files, tracked by a research-manifest.yml file for easy management.

생산성 및 워크플로

Synthesizes technical research findings into structured documentation to inform project planning and task generation within the OAK workflow.

소개

OAK Research Synthesis is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to bridge the gap between initial project planning and technical implementation. By following the structured OAK workflow, it helps developers consolidate codebase analysis, documentation reviews, and external research into actionable insights. It automates the creation of research manifests and topic-specific findings documents, ensuring that every technical decision is backed by evidence, aligned with project standards, and directly mapped to the next phase of task generation.
