Research Preset

For analysis projects: studies, literature reviews, hypothesis tracking.

When to Use

Choose this preset when your project:

  • Has concepts/, hypotheses/, bibliography/, or analysis/
  • Tracks research questions or hypotheses
  • Requires rigorous evidence standards

Quality Standards

## Research Quality Standards

- Evidence tier classification for all claims (Tier A-D)
- Hypothesis tracking with confidence levels
- Source attribution and citation
- Document contradictions and limitations
- Reproducible methodology

Recommended Components

Component Tier Recommended Why
permissions.allow 1 ✅ Yes (baseline) Pre-approve git read commands
Stop hook 1 ✅ Yes (baseline) Uncommitted/unpushed reminders
CLAUDE.md 2 ✅ Yes Project context, evidence tiers
Session hook 2 ✅ Yes Shows research status
Post-tool hook 2 Optional Auto-update indexes if tracking
GitHub Actions 3 For teams @.claude research reviews

See Project Infrastructure Pattern for the full tiered approach.

Evidence Tier System

Include in CLAUDE.md:

## Evidence Tiers

- **Tier A**: Primary sources, production data, official specs
- **Tier B**: Peer-reviewed, expert interviews, validated analysis
- **Tier C**: Industry reports, vendor docs, practitioner blogs
- **Tier D**: Opinions, speculation (label as such)

Strong claims require Tier A or B evidence.

Hypothesis Tracking

Consider adding:

## Active Hypotheses

Track research hypotheses with:
- Clear, falsifiable statement
- Confidence level (1-5)
- Evidence tier of supporting data
- Validation method

Git Workflow

## Git Workflow

Commit messages:
- `research:` or `📊` New findings or analysis
- `docs:` or `📚` Documentation updates
- `data:` Data processing changes
- `hypothesis:` Hypothesis updates
- `cite:` Bibliography additions
