## About

A portable research workflow for products, scientific literature, device failures, markets, and technology. Source verification, causal discipline, implementation and action-plan handoffs, and Karpathy-inspired working principles. Responds in the language of the research request.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “Research Methodology” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.

## Skills

- **evidence-review**: Audit a research report for unsupported claims, citation mismatches, outdated evidence, contradictions, and overstated causality.
- **karpathy-guidelines**: Apply Karpathy-inspired principles when research leads to code, documents, protocols, purchases, repairs, or decisions that require clear assumptions, minimal scope, and verifiable outcomes.
- **research-handoff**: Turn existing research into a bounded implementation specification, action plan, protocol, decision record, or continuation brief without silently implementing it.
- **research-methodology**: Investigate products, scientific literature, device failures, markets, or technology using a canon-driven six-step research pyramid (exploratory, descriptive, experimental). Use when comparing options, writing a specification or protocol, reviewing evidence, or diagnosing why something changed.

## Example prompts

- "Compare products in this category against my constraints and show the evidence."
- "Summarize the PubMed evidence on this question, with study design and sample size."
- "What public filings explain this market move; stay within safe and lawful public sources."
