## Parameters

| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| `--topic` | (required) | Paper/project name or arXiv ID |
| `--mode` | `lite` | `lite` or `full` |
| `--iterations` | `3` | Report revision iterations |
| `--output` | `both` | `md`, `pdf`, or `both` |
| `--project-path` | (auto) | Local code directory (optional) |
| `--workspace` | (current) | Workspace directory |

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Discovery
1. Search arXiv + project pages
2. Fetch related papers (citations + references)
3. Identify key technologies and dependencies

### Phase 2: Analysis
1. Read source code (if `--project-path` provided)
2. Analyze architecture from docs/code
3. Map technology stack

### Phase 3: Report Writing (× iterations)
1. Draft outline
2. Write sections iteratively
3. Add diagrams (Mermaid/ASCII)
4. Refine explanations

### Phase 4: Export (Full mode only)
1. Setup conda env
2. Install dependencies
3. Run experiments
4. Append results to report

### Phase 5: PDF Generation
1. Call md2pdf skill
2. Send to user via Telegram

## Output Structure

## Report Template

The generated report follows this structure:

1. **Executive Summary** - 100-word overview
2. **Motivation** - Problem statement + why it matters
3. **Background** - Prerequisites explained intuitively
4. **Core Method** - Technical details with analogies
5. **Code Analysis** - Key files walkthrough
6. **Experiments** - Setup + results (full mode)
7. **Troubleshooting** - Common issues + fixes
8. **References** - Papers + repos + docs

## Dependencies

**Required:**
- pandoc (for PDF export)
- texlive-xetex (CJK + math support)

**Full mode only:**
- conda/miniconda
- CUDA toolkit (if GPU experiments)

## Integration

This skill automatically:
- Uses `md2pdf` skill for PDF conversion
- Appends to `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
- Creates structured report directory

## Examples

**Lite mode, 5 iterations:**

bash {baseDir}/scripts/research-report.sh \
  --topic "Spatial Forcing" \
  --mode lite \
  --iterations 3 \
  --output both
