# Research Artifacts
Research records the external evidence behind a decision: technology evaluations, library comparisons, industry-practice surveys. Research is **dated, sourced, and append-only** — a snapshot of what the evidence said at a point in time, not a living opinion.
This skill defines how research is *organized, formatted, and indexed*. The `deep-research` skill defines how it is *gathered and cross-verified*; `living-docs` owns the decisions and issues it feeds. The three compose. Research artifacts are **OKF concepts** — see the `okf-knowledge-format` skill for the frontmatter/reserved-file rules applied here.

## Using this skill (progressive disclosure)
This SKILL.md is a **slim stub** — a trigger plus a task->topic router. The `living-docs` CLI holds the full research rules, source discipline, structure and traceable chain, and discloses them progressively. **Before authoring anything, load the topic for your task:**
- `living-docs skill research-artifacts --list` — discover every topic.
- `living-docs skill research-artifacts --topic <topic>` — load that topic.
Piped output is minified JSON (machine default); `--plain` for human text, `--json` to force JSON. Topics: rules, structure, research-report, research-index, research-general-references, about.
This stub is a **pure router** (ADR 0017): it triggers and points at topics — it holds no rules inline. The source discipline and the research → decision → issue chain are topics, loaded before auth
