# ResearchVault 🦞

Autonomous state manager for agentic research.

## Core Features

- **The Vault**: Local SQLite persistence for `artifacts`, `findings`, and `links`.
- **Divergent Reasoning**: Create `branches` and `hypotheses` to explore parallel research paths.
- **Synthesis Engine**: Automated link-discovery using local embeddings.
- **Active Verification**: Self-correcting agents via `verification_missions`.
- **Autonomous Strategist**: Analyze state and recommend a Next Best Action (`vault strategy`).
- **MCP Server**: Native support for cross-agent collaboration.
- **Watchdog Mode**: Continuous background monitoring of URLs and queries.

## Workflows

### 1. Project Initialization
```bash
uv run python scripts/vault.py init --id "metal-v1" --name "Suomi Metal" --objective "Rising underground bands"
```

### 2. Multi-Source Ingestion
```bash
uv run python scripts/vault.py scuttle "https://reddit.com/r/metal" --id "metal-v1"
```

### 3. Synthesis & Verification
```bash
# Link related findings
uv run python scripts/vault.py synthesize --id "metal-v1"

# Plan verification for low-confidence data
uv run python scripts/vault.py verify plan --id "metal-v1"
```

### 4. Autonomous Strategist (Next Best Action)
```bash
uv run python scripts/vault.py strategy --id "metal-v1"
uv run python scripts/vault.py strategy --id "metal-v1" --format json
uv run python scripts/vault.py strategy --id "metal-v1" --execute
```

### 5. MCP Server
```bash
uv run python scripts/vault.py mcp --transport stdio
```

## Environment

Requires Python 3.13 and `uv`.
