Skill: Research
When to Use
- User shares research findings, an article summary, or key learnings
- User says "save this research", "add to research", "log this finding", "research note"
- After a deep-research session, when findings should be persisted
- User discovers something relevant to their business, industry, or goals
Prerequisites
Writes to a Notion database. The user must have configured in personal/notion-databases.md:
research_database_id: <user's Notion database ID>
research_data_source: collection://<data source id>
research_parent_page: <parent page id>
If not present, ask the user to set it up or suggest running the onboard skill.

Steps
- Identify the research topic from the user's message or session context.
- Determine the best Category fit.
- Write concise Key Takeaways (2–5 bullet points, plain language, actionable where possible).
- Capture Source URL if provided.
- Set Date to today. Set Status to "Read" if the user has already reviewed the content, "Unread" if saving for later.
- Create the entry via
mcp__notion__notion-create-pages.
- If the research has detailed findings beyond the takeaways, add them as page body content.
- Confirm back with topic and category.
Rules
- Key Takeaways should be specific and actionable, not generic summaries.
- After a deep-research session, proactively suggest saving the findings here.
- If the research connects to a current goal or project (from
personal/goals.md), mention that connection.
- Yellow tier when proactively suggesting. Green tier when user explicitly asks.
- One entry per distinct research topic. Don't combine unrelated findings.
Output Format
Saved to Research:
- [Topic] ([Category]) — [X] takeaways captured
One line per entry.
