Bitcoin/L2 Research Skill
When to Use
This skill activates when the user requests research on:
- Bitcoin protocol, BIPs, consensus rules
- Layer-2 scaling solutions (Lightning, Ark, Liquid, Rollups)
- Protocol comparisons (e.g., "Compare Lightning vs Ark")
- External documentation analysis (whitepapers, specifications)
- Bitcoin ecosystem developments
Trigger Phrases:
- "Research [Bitcoin/L2 topic]"
- "Compare [Protocol A] vs [Protocol B]"
- "Analyze [whitepaper/specification]"
- "What's new in Bitcoin Core [version]"
- "How does [L2 protocol] work"
Research Modes
Quick Research (3 agents, 2min timeout)
- User says: "quick research" or simple query
- Best for: Simple questions, fact-checking
Standard Research (9 agents, 3min timeout)
- Default mode
- Best for: Comprehensive analysis, protocol comparisons
Deep Research (12 agents, 10min timeout)
- User says: "deep research" or "comprehensive research"
- Best for: Multi-protocol analysis, whitepaper deep-dives
How It Works
- Intent Detection: User request triggers research mode
- Context Loading: Load ark-docs for Ark protocol context
- Query Decomposition: Break query into 3-12 focused sub-questions
- Parallel Execution: Launch Claude agents in single batch
- Timeout Management: Proceed with partial results after timeout
- Synthesis: Combine findings with confidence levels
- Report Generation: Structured markdown report
Integration
Orchestrator: Routes research requests to ark-researcher agent Agent: ark-researcher coordinates parallel claude-search-agents Workflow: Uses workflows/research-bitcoin-l2.md patterns Knowledge Base: Integrates with ark-docs for Ark context
Expected Outputs
- Comprehensive research report
- Confidence levels (High/Medium/Low)
- Source citations (URLs)
- Comparative analysis (if applicable)
- Trade-offs and recommendations
- Follow-up questions identified
Configuration Files
- bitcoin-topics.yaml: Topic taxonomy for Bitcoin/L2 domains
- external-docs.yaml: Known Bitcoin/L2 documentation sources
Example Usage
User: "Research how Taproot enables Ark protocol"
System:
- Detects: Bitcoin Core + Ark-specific research
- Mode: Standard (9 agents, 3 min)
- Decomposes: 9 sub-questions about Taproot + Ark
- Launches: 9 Claude agents in parallel
- Synthesizes: Cross-validates findings
- Returns: Comprehensive report in ~60-90 seconds
