Research Automation

Research Automation

Automated research system that searches the web for new developments in peptides, biohacking, longevity, and trending health topics.

What It Does

Topics Covered

1. Peptides: New peptides, clinical studies, protocols, dosing updates 2. Biohacking Protocols: Emerging techniques, stack combinations, optimization methods 3. Longevity Science: Aging research, interventions, biomarkers, clinical trials 4. Trending Topics: Viral health content, controversial topics, zeitgeist shifts 5. Performance Optimization: Founder health, cognitive enhancement, metabolic optimization

Usage

On-Demand Research

Run a targeted research query:

Run research on [topic] - focus on [specific angle]

Example:

Run research on GLP-1 peptides - focus on recent clinical trials and dosing protocols

Scheduled Research (Heartbeat)

The skill runs automatically via heartbeat rotation, cycling through research topics:

Output Format

Research is saved to research/[topic]/[date].md:

Search Strategy

For each research run:

1. Query Construction: Build 3-5 targeted search queries 2. Source Diversity: Mix academic, clinical, and practical sources 3. Recency Filter: Prioritize last 30 days (configurable) 4. Signal Extraction: Identify novel information vs. repetition 5. Content Angle Generation: Translate findings into tweet/post ideas

Integration with Content Creation

Research outputs feed directly into:

Best Practices

1. Run research before content creation sprints - Fresh angles generate better ideas 2. Review weekly summaries - Track emerging patterns and shifts 3. Cross-reference findings - Connect dots between topics (e.g., peptides + longevity) 4. Archive high-value findings - Move breakthrough research to notes/research-insights/

Manual Research Workflow

When you need deep research on a specific topic:

1. Specify the topic and angle:

   Research [topic] with focus on [specific angle] - find clinical backing and protocols
   

2. Review the output: - Check research/[topic]/[date].md - Assess signal vs. noise - Request refinement if needed

3. Generate content:

   Turn the [specific finding] into 5 tweet angles
