Where are the research findings stored?

Findings are saved as dated Markdown files in a designated inbox folder (default is /inbox) defined in your derivation-manifest.md.

What search engines does the Learn skill support?

The skill uses a tool cascade starting with Exa Deep Researcher and Exa Web Search, falling back to standard WebSearch tools if the primary MCPs are unavailable.

How do I specify the depth of the research?

You can force a specific depth by adding --light, --moderate, or --deep to your command, such as '/learn AI security --deep'.

Can this skill help manage my project objectives?

Yes, it automatically reads your goals.md file to find research directions and appends new topics discovered during the research process.

What is 'provenance frontmatter'?

It is YAML metadata at the top of the research file that records exactly how the information was gathered, including the tool used, the exact prompt, and the research ID for auditing.
