name	niche-research-framework
description	Use when any research-stage agent needs to reference the Student Research System framework. Wraps the framework doc into a queryable phase API so agents don't re-read the whole file.

Niche Research Framework

The canonical framework lives at research/_framework/Student_Research_System.md. This skill exposes specific sections by name rather than asking agents to grep the whole file each time.

When to use this skill

• Module 1 interviewer needs the 7 section anchor questions.
• Module 2A scorer needs the 7-factor matrix definitions and scoring rules.
• Module 3 offer architect needs the positioning sentence template and stage check table.
• Module 5 and 7 brief writers need the output schemas.

Anchor references (line numbers in framework)

Module 2A decision rule	Student_Research_System.md	152 to 157
Module 2A research checklist	Student_Research_System.md	158 to 166
Niche Decision output template	Student_Research_System.md	170 to 196
Module 3 positioning sentence formula	Student_Research_System.md	207

Appendix A Content_Engine_Structure template	Student_Research_System.md	631 to 670
Appendix C source mapping	Student_Research_System.md	bottom of file

How to query

When an agent needs a specific section, read just those lines:

sed -n '{start},{end}p' research/_framework/Student_Research_System.md

For example, the offer architect agent grabs the positioning formula:

sed -n '207p' research/_framework/Student_Research_System.md

Three-actor reminder (always relevant)

Every reference to "customer" in the framework needs to be disambiguated against the three-actor model:

Framework reference	Actual actor
"the customer" in Module 1 to 2 context	usually the student's eventual client (niche business)
"the end customer" or "their customer"	the niche business's customer (homeowner, patient, etc.)
"the operator" or "the student"	the AIW grad running the stack

If a framework passage is ambiguous, default to optimizing for the end customer. That is what the website converts.

Note on Appendix B

Appendix B (Universal CRO SOPs) was moved out of the framework during stack bootstrap. It now lives at website-factory/references/cro-sops/universal-cro-sops.md. Any framework reference to Appendix B points there.
