# Instructions Folder
This folder contains skill/instruction documents for LLMs interacting with the Community Research MCP server.
## Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `community-research-skill.md` | Comprehensive guide covering philosophy, query crafting, source intelligence, advanced patterns, and interactive workflows |
| `quick-reference.md` | Condensed cheat sheet for rapid consultation during conversations |
## Usage
These documents are designed to be consumed by LLMs (like Claude) to understand how to effectively use the `community_search` tool. They follow the "Claude skill" pattern - teaching the model not just *what* the tool does, but *when*, *why*, and *how* to use it for maximum effectiveness.

- Query formulation strategies
