Use when researching a specific pillar and need to create traceable evidence objects. Guides creation of YAML evidence files with semantic IDs, confidence scores, and assumptions.
This skill guides the creation of structured Evidence Objects for a single research pillar.
/ledger-init completed)01-pillars/PILLARS.mdUse TodoWrite to track these mandatory steps:
<required> 1. Load pillar scope and research questions 2. Identify evidence sources 3. Collect raw evidence 4. Create Evidence Objects with semantic IDs 5. Validate evidence quality 6. Check evidence gate (minimum 5 per pillar) </required>Read 01-pillars/PILLARS.md to understand:
See references/research-protocols.md for pillar-specific protocols.
For each research question, identify potential sources:
| Source Type | Examples | Typical Confidence |
|---|---|---|
url | Research reports, documentation | 60-90 |
pdf | Academic papers, whitepapers | 70-95 |
interview | User interviews, expert calls | 50-80 |
internal-doc | Company data, prior research | 60-85 |
experiment | A/B tests, prototypes | 70-95 |
dataset | Analytics, survey results | 65-90 |
For each source:
Web research protocol:
Write YAML files to 02-evidence/<pillar>/.
Naming: Use semantic IDs per references/id-generation-rules.md.
Schema: See references/evidence-object-schema.md.
