What kind of domain examples are included?

The skill includes specialized patterns for research vaults, project management, engineering, legal work, and personal development systems.

How does the /ask command differentiate between types of questions?

The skill uses a classification engine to determine if your question is seeking theoretical reasoning (WHY), procedural guidance (HOW), or practical examples (WHAT), and routes to the appropriate knowledge tier.

Can this skill help me customize my development environment?

Yes, by checking your local 'ops/derivation.md' and reference documents, it provides answers tailored to your specific system configuration and constraints.

What is the bundled research knowledge graph?

It is a collection of over 200 interconnected research claims grounded in cognitive science, knowledge system theory, and agent cognition research used to provide 'WHY' behind system behaviors.

Learning & Documentation

Queries a structured research knowledge graph to provide evidence-based guidance on system architecture, cognitive science principles, and operational workflows.

This skill acts as an intelligent consultant for complex knowledge systems, drawing from over 200 research claims and a multi-tiered documentation library. By routing queries through a sophisticated three-tier architecture—covering theoretical foundations (WHY), procedural instructions (HOW), and domain-specific examples (WHAT)—it ensures every recommendation is grounded in cognitive science and proven methodology. It is particularly useful for developers and architects who need to justify design decisions, diagnose system friction, or adapt their environment to specific domains like engineering, research, or project management.

Key Features
