## About

A portable research workflow for products, scientific literature, device failures, markets, and technology. Source verification, causal discipline, implementation and action-plan handoffs, and Karpathy-inspired working principles. Responds in the language of the research request.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “Research Methodology” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.

## Disconnect or uninstall

1. **In ChatGPT** Disconnect an account in Settings → Apps or Plugins. To remove the plugin itself, open Research Methodology in the Plugin Directory and select Uninstall plugin. Uninstalling can disconnect every account connected through it, and plugins your workspace installs may not offer the option.

2. **In Codex** Run /plugins in the Codex CLI, select the plugin and uninstall it, or press Space to turn it off.

## Skills

- **evidence-review**: Audit a research report for unsupported claims, citation mismatches, outdated evidence, contradictions, and overstated causality.
- **karpathy-guidelines**: Apply Karpathy-inspired principles when research leads to code, documents, protocols, purchases, repairs, or decisions that require clear assumptions, minimal scope, and verifiable outcomes.
- **research-handoff**: Turn existing research into a bounded implementation specification, action plan, protocol, decision record, or continuation brief without silently implementing it.
- **research-methodology**: Investigate products, scientific literature, device failures, markets, or technology using a canon-driven six-step research pyramid (exploratory, descriptive, experimental). Use when comparing options, writing a specification or protocol, reviewing evidence, or diagnosing why something changed.

## Example prompts

- "Compare products in this category against my constraints and show the evidence."
- "Summarize the PubMed evidence on this question, with study design and sample size."
- "What public filings explain this market move; stay within safe and lawful public sources."
