Research Skill

Description

Conduct open-ended research on a topic, building a living markdown document. The conversation is ephemeral; the document is what matters.

Trigger

Activate when the user wants to:

• Research a topic, idea, or question
• Explore something before committing to building it
• Investigate options, patterns, or approaches
• Create a "research doc" or "investigation"
• Run deep async research on a complex topic

Research Directory

Each research topic gets its own folder:

~/.openclaw/workspace/research/<topic-slug>/
├── prompt.md          # Original research question/prompt
├── research.md        # Main findings (Parallel output or interactive notes)
