Research Pipeline

Automated literature research pipeline for Chopin's academic work. Combines arXiv search, paper summarization, and Obsidian note-taking into a single workflow. Use when Chopin asks to research a topic, find papers, do a literature review, or stay updated on formation control / event-triggered communication / multi-agent systems. Triggered automatically by daily cron for research topic updates.

Automated end-to-end research workflow: search → summarize → save to Obsidian.

Workflow

Step 1: Search arXiv

Use the arxiv skill to search for papers on the target topic.

Search arXiv for: <query>
Limit: 5-10 most relevant papers

Key research topics for Chopin:

• Multi-vehicle formation control
• Event-triggered communication
• Collision avoidance in multi-agent systems
• Reinforcement learning for formation control
• Learning-based control with event-triggered communication

Step 2: Summarize Papers

For each promising paper, use paper-summarize-academic to get:

• Paper title, authors, date
• Core contribution
• Key methodology
• Relevance to Chopin's research

Step 3: Save to Obsidian

Use the obsidian skill to create literature notes:

• One note per paper in References/ folder
• Tag with: #paper #formation-control #event-triggered etc.
• Include: title, authors, year, arXiv link, summary, key takeaways

Step 4: Report to Chopin

Send a brief digest via Feishu with:

• Number of papers found
• Top 3 most relevant papers with 1-line summary each
• Link to full notes in Obsidian

Research Topics Tracker

Maintain a research-topics.md in workspace tracking:

• Active topics of interest
• Last searched date
• Papers found count

See references/research-topics.md for Chopin's current research profile.

Cron Integration

When triggered by daily cron (research update):

1. Check research-topics.md for active topics
2. Search arXiv for each topic (new papers since last check)
3. Summarize and save new findings
4. Report only genuinely new/interesting papers (avoid spam)
