Set up a research repository the team actually reuses — the atomic-insight format (finding + evidence + source + date), the tagging that makes old research findable by new questions, and the check-the-repo-first norm that stops re-researching. Use when asked set up a research repository, we keep re-learning the same things, where do our user insights live, or make past research findable. Produces the repo structure, the insight-entry format, the intake funnel from studies, and the reuse norms.

# Research Repo Setup Skill

Teams pay for the same research repeatedly: the churn interviews from last year answer this quarter's question, but they live in a deck nobody remembers, so the question gets re-studied at full price. The repo fixes the *unit* — not "studies" (monolithic decks that answer only their original question) but **atomic insights**: one finding + its evidence + source + date + tags, individually findable by future questions the original study never anticipated. Around the unit: an intake funnel (every study deposits its insights while fresh) and the reuse norm (research requests start with a repo check), because a repo consulted by nobody is a very organized graveyard.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The repo structure** — where it lives (searchable > beautiful), the insight-entry format, the study-index layer
- **The atomic format** — finding (one sentence) · evidence (the support, with its n) · source study + date · tags · confidence
- **The intake funnel** — the end-of-study deposit ritual ([interview-synthesis](../interview-synthesis/SKILL.md) themes flow in directly)
- **The reuse norms** — repo-check-first on new research requests, and the citation habit that keeps entries alive
