Documentation

README

Excerpt

Consolidate — promote research into a canonical article

This skill is pack guidance. The platform /open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the procedure on top.

Promote existing research on a topic into a canonical article under articles/. Canonical, not provisional — the output is the source of truth for future agents, not a snapshot of uncertainty.

The content directory is the resolved content.dir — read it with config({ key: 'content.dir' }) if you don't already know it. Paths below are relative to it.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
