research-compendium — Archive Everything, Summarize 1:1, Synthesize Once

Convention: see conventions/brain-first.md for the lookup chain. Phase 1 is literally brain-first: search the brain before the open web — the corpus may already be partly ingested.

Convention: see conventions/quality.md for citation rules, quote fidelity, and back-link enforcement.

Convention: see _brain-filing-rules.md — everything this skill writes files under research/ per the research rule.

What this is

Turn a research question into a permanent brain asset: find everything → archive every primary source → summarize each 1:1 → synthesize one self-contained compendium.
