Research Tools

Route research, analysis, and requirements-gathering tasks to the correct workflow.

Task Router

Task	Reference	Key Actions
Analyze sources with NotebookLM, generate deliverables	references/notebooklm-workflow.md	Create notebook, add sources, ask questions, generate audio/infographic/FAQ
Search YouTube for videos, fetch transcripts	references/youtube-search.md	yt-dlp search, structured results table, VTT transcript extraction
End-to-end research: YouTube -> NotebookLM -> Obsidian	references/research-pipeline.md	Chain all 3 tools, save structured notes to vault
Socratic requirements gathering, spec crystallization	references/interview-technique.md	Ambiguity scoring, challenge agents, spec document generation

Quick Decision

"Analyze these sources" -> NotebookLM workflow
"Find videos about X" -> YouTube search
"Research X for me" / "find and analyze" -> Full pipeline
"Interview me" / "I have a vague idea" -> Deep interview
URL provided directly -> Skip search, go to NotebookLM or transcript

MCP Tools Required

Use ToolSearch at task start to load:

mcp__notebooklm__* — NotebookLM notebook management and questions
mcp__obsidian__* — Obsidian vault note creation (for pipeline saves)

Shared Principles

Always return full YouTube URLs so they can be passed to NotebookLM as sources
NotebookLM handles its own transcription — do not pre-fetch transcripts when passing to NotebookLM
Visual deliverables (infographic, mind map) can take 5-15 minutes — set expectations
Deep interview: one question at a time, target weakest clarity dimension, never batch
Research pipeline default: 10 videos, analysis only (escalate to deliverable if requested)

Layer 3 Skills

notebooklm-research — NotebookLM MCP workflow for source analysis and deliverable generation
youtube-research — YouTube video search and transcript extraction via yt-dlp
research-pipeline — Full YouTube -> NotebookLM -> Obsidian orchestration
