loop-research — a loop-graph preset for evidence-led choices

SkillDev tools

Author and optionally direct-launch a two-node loop-graph run that compares feasible technical approaches with open-source evidence, primary research, and controlled experiments before selecting one. Use when a decision needs several research and evaluation rounds with durable evidence and independent audit. Not for implementing an already chosen requirement, code cleanup, or a quick literature summary. Do not execute or resume generated runtime node files from this authoring skill.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the loop-research — a loop-graph preset for evidence-led choices skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by levi-qiao/longgraph-skill in skills/loop-research/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

A thin authoring entry. It binds a research-and-selection pack, starts the owner interview, then follows loop-graph to compile the normal executor, ledger, directives, ops, and supervisor artifacts. It is not a research node, a second runtime, or a second template set.

Fit check

  • Use this when the approach is undecided and a decision needs comparative evidence from open-source projects, primary research, and a controlled benchmark or A/B experiment.
  • Use ../loop-deliver/SKILL.md once the approach is chosen, or ../loop-converge/SKILL.md for code consolidation.
  • For a short answer, one source lookup, or non-comparative literature summary, use the host's ordinary research task instead of a graph.

On invoke

  1. Inspect the workspace, existing evidence, experiment harnesses, data policy, and current host the same way loop-graph does. Never ask which client this is when context already identifies it.
  2. Read and bind preset.md. That pack is the North Star, supervisor requirement, interview, evidence shape, method guards, knob overrides, and artifact emphasis. Do not redesign them.
  3. Start the owner interview immediately. Ask only the pack's unresolved choices — decision/scope, evidence budget and data authority, and launch — as recommended A/B (or A/B/C) choices. Do not ask the owner to invent evaluation criteria.
  4. Read and follow ../loop-graph/SKILL.md from When called from a preset skill through generate and deliver. Compile only from loop-graph's templates/. This skill never executes the generated nodes.
