# lab-research Turn an open question into a referenced, archived research note. ## Inputs - A research question or topic. - Optional: depth (`quick` | `standard` | `deep`), and a destination vault. ## Configuration (env-driven — no hardcoded machine paths) - `CODEX_VAULT_DIR` — where notes are saved. **If unset, the skill saves into `./research/` in the current repo and says so** (graceful fallback; the original hardcoded one user's vault path — fixed here). - `CODEX_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` / `CODEX_N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` — optional; if set, a link to the saved note is posted there. If unset, that step is skipped silently. ## Procedure 1. Clarify the question if ambiguous (one round, then proceed). 2. Gather sources (web search/fetch). Prefer primary sources; capture URLs. 3. Synthesize: a short answer up top, then supporting detail, then a sources list. Use the structure in `references/note-template.md`. 4. Save via the helper, which handles the vault path + optional notification: ```bash scripts/save-to-vault.sh "<slug>" "<path-to-note.md>" ``` 5. Report the saved path back to the user. ## Notes - Cite every non-obvious claim. No fabricated URLs. - Keep notes self-contained so they're useful months later. - See `references/runner-usage.md` for the optional `runner.py` batch mode.
