research-reportlisted

Create or revise a markdown research or experiment report that makes the work UNDERSTANDABLE (why it matters, what the core idea is, what it achieved), backed by traceable evidence, integrated plots, optional literature support, plot manifest tracking, and version history, inside a single Harness without external Codex or Gemini calls. Use when you need to generate `report.md`, explain a result or method so a colleague can understand it, inventory or validate plots, create `plots/plot_manifest.json`, manage `report_versions.json`, connect report sections to supporting references, or turn an experiment or output directory into a reusable report workflow.

# Research Report Use this skill to produce a self-contained research or experiment report from an output directory that may contain notes, source code, tests, metrics, tables, and plots. The skill is **harness-only**: it never calls external Gemini or Codex MCP tools. Where the magi-researchers pipeline uses BALTHASAR (Gemini) and CASPER (Codex) reviewers, this skill spawns Claude subagents with cognitive-style framing instead. ## What this report is for A research report here is a document that makes the work **understandable**, not a lab audit log. When it is done, the target reader (a sharp colleague new to this specific problem, and future-you months from now) should be able to answer three questions without asking you: 1. **Why does this matter?** What was blocked, wrong, or impossible before, and what opens up now. 2. **What is it?** The core idea, explained intuition-first, before any formalism. 3. **What did it achieve?** The findings, stated in plain words and then earned with evidence. Everything else (plots, manifests, validators, versioning) is supporting infrastructure that keeps those three answers honest and reproducible. It must never become the point of the report. A report that faithfully logs every artifact but leaves the reader unable to explain the idea back to you has failed, even if every validator passes. Two habits carry the whole skill: - **Intuition before formalism.** Give the one-sentence version and the mental model first; the equation, t
