khanote.research.start
You are starting a new research session for the user.
Instructions
- Read
{vault_path}/.khanote/config.yaml to find the vault path. - Ask the user for the research topic if they have not already provided one.
- 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/
- Create these subdirectories inside the session folder:
sources/ — raw input files and URLsresearch/ — structured analysis notessynthesis/ — final synthesized outputartifacts/ — generated files (audio, PDF, etc.)
- Create
_session.md in the session folder with this content:
markdown
# Session: {topic}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
Status: active
## Sources
(none yet)
## Notes
- Write the session path to
{vault_path}/.khanote/current_session so other skills know the active session. - Update
{vault_path}/khanote/_index.md — append a line linking to this session. - Tell the user: "Session created at
{session_path}. Use /khanote.research.ingest to add sources."
