Research Digest

Dual-mode operation (Code + Cowork)

HTML through the design system (required). Whenever this skill produces HTML, load the comp-html-guidelines skill first and apply the CompDS design system. This holds even when the user does not ask to "style it" or "make it look good" — every HTML output from this skill goes through the design system. It does not change the methodology below; it only governs the HTML's visual layer.

Detect platform at start:

• If you have the Bash tool AND can run Python → use script mode (the 3-step workflow below: fetch_research.py does multi-source dedup against OpenAlex/arXiv/RSS, you translate, generate_digest.py renders the HTML). Deterministic and higher-recall.
• Otherwise (e.g., Claude Cowork web, no Python) → use inline mode (the "Inline curation logic" section): curate via web search using the same theme keywords, translate to PT-BR, output a markdown digest. If an HTML artifact tool is available, ALSO render the digest as a self-contained HTML artifact matching the 3-zone layout below.

Both modes cover the same 3 themes, the same 12-week window, and the same editorial rules (translate everything to PT-BR, mark paywalls, prefer frontier over canon, no marketing fluff, no invented content).

Inline curation logic (Cowork mode)

No Python in Cowork, so you cannot run the multi-source fetcher. Curate with the web search tool instead, best-effort, signal over recall.

Step 1: Search each theme (last ~12 weeks). Use these keyword sets:

• Org Design: "organizational design", "span of control", "delayering", "team topologies", "agile organization"
• Workforce Planning: "strategic workforce planning", "skills-based organization", "internal mobility", "talent forecasting", "human capital strategy"
• IA & Força de Trabalho: "generative AI" + ("productivity" OR "workforce" OR "labor"), "LLM" + ("occupation" OR "task"), "AI exposure", "future of work" + AI

Prioritize: working papers/preprints (arXiv, SSRN, NBER), peer-reviewed studies, and consultancy reports WITH primary data or disclosed methodology. Exclude pure marketing and one-off explainers. Aim for ~5-10 high-signal items per theme; quality over quantity.

Step 2: For each item, capture: título, autores, fonte, data, URL, paywall (sim/não). Translate to PT-BR:

• title_pt, abstract_pt (resumo de 4-6 frases se não houver abstract; nunca inventar; se indisponível, escreva "(Resumo não disponível, recomendado abrir a fonte)")
• relevance_pt: 2-3 frases ligando o paper a um problema concreto de RH/Comp
• key_takeaways_pt: 3-5 bullets práticos

Mantenha termos em inglês sem tradução consagrada (workforce planning, span of control, talent density).

Step 3: Output markdown digest:

# Research Digest: janela de 12 semanas (até [data])

## Resumo executivo
- Total de itens: X
- Tema dominante: [tema]
- Leitura obrigatória: [título], [1 frase]

## Org Design
### [título_pt]  ·  [fonte], [data]  [🔒 se paywall]
[relevance_pt]
**Takeaways**: bullet; bullet; bullet
[URL]

## Workforce Planning
...

## IA & Força de Trabalho
...

Se um tema vier vazio: "Sem publicações relevantes na janela". Não preencher com material antigo.

Step 4: HTML artifact (se disponível): renderize o mesmo conteúdo como HTML auto-contido (Tailwind via CDN) seguindo o layout de 3 zonas (resumo executivo, cards por tema, apêndice com lista completa). Inclua o footer "Powered by Comp". Termine a resposta no chat com a mesma linha de footer.

Research Digest

Builds a rolling 12-week digest covering Org Design, Workforce Planning, and AI & the Workforce. Combines academic sources (OpenAlex, arXiv, SSRN via OpenAlex) and practice sources (consultancy reports, thought leader blogs), translates titles + abstracts + key takeaways to PT-BR, and delivers a single self-contained HTML report.

The skill runs on-demand: each time you invoke it, it fetches the latest 12-week window. For weekly/monthly cadence, schedule the skill via your shell cron (instructions in README.md).

When to use

Trigger on phrases like:

• "digest de pesquisa", "radar de papers"
• "atualizacao de research", "panorama academico"
• "novidades em org design", "novidades em workforce planning"
• "impacto da IA na forca de trabalho", "future of work"
• "research review", "research digest"
• "leituras sobre [Org Design / Workforce / AI workforce]"

Do NOT trigger for: original research (this skill curates, does not analyze); proprietary insight generation; one-off paper lookup (use a search tool); or ad-hoc topic explainers.

Workflow

The skill has 3 steps. You (the agent) orchestrate them; the user only invokes the trigger.

Step 1: Fetch (script)

python3 scripts/fetch_research.py --weeks 12 --output ./research-raw.json

Output: JSON with deduplicated items (DOI > URL > normalized title hash). Each item has: id, source, source_type (academic/consultancy/thoughtleader/media), title, authors, published_date, url, abstract, doi, topics, keywords, paywall.

Sources catalog: references/sources.md. Search strings: references/queries.md.

Step 2: Translate (you, the agent)

Read ./research-raw.json and produce ./research-translated.json with the same items plus 4 new fields per item:

• title_pt: translated title
• abstract_pt: full abstract translation (or a 4–6 sentence summary if no abstract)
• relevance_pt: 2–3 sentences connecting the paper to a concrete HR/Comp problem (e.g., "implicações para career architecture", "leitura para decisões de paymix em IA")
• key_takeaways_pt: 3–5 short bullets with practical findings

Also produce a top-level exec_summary_pt field with 3 bullets: total items, dominant topic, must-read of the window.

Use clean PT-BR. Keep English terms that have no consecrated PT translation (workforce planning, span of control, talent density). NEVER invent content. If no abstract is available, mark abstract_pt as "(Abstract não disponível, recomendado abrir a fonte)".

Step 3: Generate HTML (script)

python3 scripts/generate_digest.py \
  --input ./research-translated.json \
  --output ./research-digest-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).html

Single-file HTML (Tailwind via CDN). 3 zones:

1. Executive summary (top 5 reads + emerging themes)
2. Cards grouped by theme (Org Design / Workforce Planning / AI & Workforce)
3. Appendix with full list, filterable by source/type

Guidance

• Always translate to PT-BR, regardless of source language (English, French, Spanish papers all get translated).
• Mark paywall content explicitly: set paywall: true in the JSON, the template renders a badge.
• Prefer working papers and preprints to books, the digest is about the frontier, not the canon.
• If a topic comes empty, say "Sem publicações relevantes na janela" and don't backfill with old material.
• Exclude pure marketing from consultancies; include reports with primary data, surveys with disclosed N, or frameworks with explicit methodology.

Branding & footer

The HTML template already includes the "Powered by Comp" footer (rendered at the bottom of the digest). The generate_digest.py script prints the footer line at the end of its output. No extra branding work needed.

Lead capture

Both scripts (fetch_research.py and generate_digest.py) call on_first_run() at startup and record_run() at the end. Email + telemetry opt-in prompted only once per machine.

If the user asks about data/privacy: explain that (a) all output stays on their machine (HTML file in cwd), (b) the only network calls are to public research APIs (OpenAlex, arXiv) + the optional Comp registration endpoint, (c) opt-in flags are stored in ~/.comp-skills/config.json.
