Research and Knowledge Operations

Umbrella for research retrieval, knowledge-base work, and research-prototype loops.

Academic and web research

• arXiv: search papers by keyword, author, category, or ID; retrieve paper metadata and links. Use scripts/references when needing structured queries or domain notes.
• Polymarket: query public prediction-market data, prices, orderbooks, and history; read-only and usually no auth.

Knowledge bases and notes

• LLM Wiki: build/query interlinked markdown knowledge bases for compounding research context.
• Obsidian: filesystem-first vault operations: read, search, create, append, edit, wikilink.

LM research/prototyping

• DSPy: declarative LM programs, prompt/RAG optimization, module and optimizer experiments.

Workflow

1. Clarify the research question or knowledge operation.
2. Use the narrow subsection/tool best suited to the data source.
3. Save durable notes only when the user requested a knowledge-base update or the content is meant to persist.
4. For current facts, fetch live data and cite the source/tool output.

Verification

• For papers/data: include identifiers, dates, URLs, or market slugs.
• For note edits: read back the changed file or returned object.
• For experiments: report exact command, metric, and output artifact.
