Research Reporter Skill

Use when: doing multi-source research and want findings saved as a structured report.

Workflow

1. For each source found, add a finding:

   node ${RESEARCH_REPORTER_HOME:-$HOME/projects/research-reporter}/add-finding.cjs \
     --session "topic-slug" \
     --source "Source Name" \
     --url "https://..." \
     --content "key finding text" \
     --confidence 0.8 \
     --tags "tag1,tag2"
   

2. When done researching, compile:

   node ${RESEARCH_REPORTER_HOME:-$HOME/projects/research-reporter}/compile.cjs \
     --session "topic-slug" \
     --title "Report Title" \
     --send
   

Confidence guide

• 0.9–1.0: Official docs, primary sources, direct quotes
• 0.7–0.89: Reputable secondary sources, well-known publications
• 0.5–0.69: Blogs with citations, community answers with upvotes
• 0.1–0.49: Unverified, single-source claims, Reddit/forum posts

Session naming

Use kebab-case slugs: "stripe-webhooks", "gpt-4o-pricing", "competitor-analysis-jan-2026"

List sessions
