# Research Initiation ## What This Skill Does Turns a vague topic into a scoped research effort with clear questions, boundaries, pass sequence, and success criteria. ## Use When - The user says "help me research X" but X is still fuzzy - The user has a concept but not a plan - The next move should be Pass 0, not actual evidence gathering ## Deliverable Produce an initiation document covering: 1. Problem or question 2. What the user already knows 3. What needs to be found out 4. Scope and out-of-scope boundaries 5. Planned pass sequence 6. Success criteria 7. Likely biases and risks
