Epist

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Science & Research · Sub-category: math-stats

Epistemological tracking system for managing facts, conclusions, and provenance chains with Git integrity and semantic search. Integrates with Quarto for visual provenance analysis. Use when analyzing data from multiple sources, conducting research, working with metrics/surveys, making data-driven conclusions, or tracking complex findings. Triggers on data analysis (analyze data, metrics, survey, research, findings, insights), conclusions (conclude, recommend, decide, infer), quantitative work (percentage, trend, correlation, statistic), source attribution (according to, based on, from source), or any epistemological tracking. Skip for trivial calculations.
