Can I skip the long setup process?

Yes, the Quick Start mode uses sensible defaults, such as the Gioia/Corley tradition, to set up your project structure in approximately 3 minutes.

Why does the skill check for Stage 1 completion?

To maintain academic rigor, the skill ensures you have completed a minimum amount of manual coding to develop theoretical sensitivity before proceeding to AI-assisted synthesis.

What folder structure does this skill create?

It generates a standard hierarchy including folders for foundation (manual codes), collaboration (theoretical and empirical streams), synthesis, and outputs, plus internal configuration files.

What is the Socratic Onboarding feature?

It is a guided 5-question dialogue that helps researchers define their ontology and epistemology to ensure AI assistance aligns with their specific philosophical stance.

Initializes qualitative research environments with structured epistemic foundations and standardized folder hierarchies.

The Project Setup skill automates the complex initial phase of qualitative research by facilitating a Socratic dialogue to establish a researcher's philosophical stance before generating project infrastructure. It guides users through defining their ontology and epistemology—aligning them with methodologies like Gioia & Corley—and then scaffolds a 'sandwich methodology' folder structure. By integrating reflexivity journals and validation hooks, it ensures that researchers maintain theoretical sensitivity and manual coding rigor before moving into AI-assisted synthesis stages.
