What it does when it runs

Context-aware research and prep for calls, meetings, demos, outreach, and deal reviews. Outputs plain text (default) or a styled, scannable HTML document. Use when user says "research [company]", "prep for my call", "who is [person]", "meeting prep", "demo prep", "brief me on [company]", "account dossier", or asks to research a company or person. Do NOT use for bulk prospecting — use /octave:prospector instead. Do NOT use for customer-facing documents — use /octave:one-pager or /octave:proposal instead.

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

/octave:research - Context-Aware Research & Prep

Run the task

Read the task method before selecting context, claims, or output. It is the execution method for this skill. Supporting templates supply structure and styling; populate them from the task method and current evidence, not their illustrative figures or assertions.

Infer discovery, demo, follow-up, outreach, QBR, executive, deal-review, or general from the request. Text is the default; HTML adds visual checks. Use occasion-workflows for the selected occasion.

Use GTM context for strategic tasks and evidence and inputs for material claims and missing facts. A narrow list/get or a render-only handoff does not require unrelated research. Read host runtime for available tools, portable resource paths, routing, and review fallback.

Resolve current tool schemas before execution; use returned IDs and pagination. Inventory rows locate records; hydrate selected entities/resources before relying on their contents. Reuse supplied or inherited context and authorization. Ask grouped questions only for material unresolved inputs, continue independent work, incorporate replies, and recheck affected output.

Usage

/octave:research <target> [--for <occasion>] [--format text|html] [--style <preset>]

References by task

Read only the reference for the selected mode, then the format/layout references when rendering. Do not repeat intake or change approved claims when routing to a renderer.

Delivery and changes

Apply output readiness to text and artifacts. HTML also uses the review protocol and the matching format checks. A working preview can be shared with its status; unrun checks are NOT RUN. Reviewers return findings on an immutable version; one author applies edits and rechecks the final version.

For visual output, inherit the selected sender/workspace brand through brand kit usage; honor an explicit override and avoid repeated brand extraction. Public hosting requires the approved audience and publish manifest, followed by URL/access/link verification.

For comparisons, trends or rates, use the analytics contract. Only requested persistence loads workspace mutations; report changes as applied only after scoped readback.

Files bundled with it

These load only when the skill asks for them, so they cost nothing until it runs.
