Autoresearch Genealogy

aradotso/trending-skills

This is a markdown-based genealogy research system built around Claude Code's autoresearch loops. You get 12 structured prompts that tell Claude to autonomously search archives, update your vault, and cross-reference sources until it hits a metric or iteration limit. The vault template is a 19-file Obsidian starter with YAML frontmatter for person records, certificates, and research logs, plus 24 country-specific archive guides and 9 methodology references covering confidence tiers and DNA guardrails. It's useful if you're treating family history like a data engineering problem and want the AI to handle the grunt work of web searches, timeline gap analysis, and citation audits while you verify and fill in physical documents. The confidence tier system and guard rails are smart additions to prevent hallucination creep.
