What you need to do:

1. Download & unzip

Download the full repo as a ZIP onto your PC/Mac:

👉 Download the repo as ZIP

Unzip it wherever you like (e.g. Documents/studienarbeit).

2. Get the Claude Desktop app

Download the Claude Desktop app (Cowork Mode) or use Claude Code:

👉 claude.ai/download

Install, sign in, done.

3. Connect the folder

Open Claude Desktop and pick the unzipped studienarbeit/ folder as your workspace. Claude recognises .claude/CLAUDE.md and all 8 skills automatically — no manual copying required.

4. Get started

Just tell Claude:

"I want to write a bachelor / term / master's paper on [topic]."

Claude automatically launches the onboarding and planning skill.

Phases of the process

The pipeline runs in 8 phases:

• Phase 0 — Onboarding (system check)
• Phase 1 — Planning (research question + outline)
• Phase 2 — Research (find sources)
• Phase 3 — Analysis (evaluate sources)
• Phase 4–6 — Writing: Writer → Reviewer → Revision (repeat per chapter)
• Phase 7 — Finalisation (narrative arc, bibliography, Word file)

Other tools

For the full workflow you'll also need:

• Perplexity — source research (free tier is enough)
• NotebookLM — source storage (notebooklm.google.com)
• Gemini (via NotebookLM gem) — source analysis
• Obsidian — markdown vault for an overview of all files (obsidian.md)

Rule of thumb: Perplexity searches, NotebookLM + Gemini analyse, Claude writes, Obsidian holds everything together. Connect the studienarbeit/ folder to Obsidian and you'll see everything and can also work directly in the text.
