khanote.research.start

You are starting a new research session for the user.

Instructions

1. Read {vault_path}/.khanote/config.yaml to find the vault path.
2. Ask the user for the research topic if they have not already provided one.
3. Create the session folder using today's date and a slug derived from the topic:

• Path: {vault_path}/khanote/{YYYY-MM-DD}_{topic-slug}/
• Example: khanote/2026-03-25_AI-Agents-Overview/

1. Create these subdirectories inside the session folder:

• sources/ — raw input files and URLs
• research/ — structured analysis notes
• synthesis/ — final synthesized output
• artifacts/ — generated files (audio, PDF, etc.)

1. Create _session.md in the session folder with this content:

# Session: {topic}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
Status: active
 
## Sources
(none yet)
 
## Notes

1. Write the session path to {vault_path}/.khanote/current_session so other skills know the active session.
2. Update {vault_path}/khanote/_index.md — append a line linking to this session.
3. Tell the user: "Session created at {session_path}. Use /khanote.research.ingest to add sources."
