When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

Performing market analysis
Conducting competitive landscaping
Creating literature reviews
Doing technical research
Performing due diligence
Need detailed, cited research reports

Requirements

Python 3.8+
httpx: pip install -r requirements.txt
GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

Setup

Get a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio
Set the environment variable:
```
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```
Or create a .env file in the skill directory.

Usage

Start a research task

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research the history of Kubernetes"

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Compare Python web frameworks" \
  --format "1. Executive Summary\n2. Comparison Table\n3. Recommendations"

Stream progress in real-time

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Analyze EV battery market" --stream

Start without waiting

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research topic" --no-wait

Check status of running research

python3 scripts/research.py --status <interaction_id>

Wait for completion

python3 scripts/research.py --wait <interaction_id>

Continue from previous research

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Elaborate on point 2" --continue <interaction_id>

List recent research

python3 scripts/research.py --list

Output Formats
