Output format is self-described as a custom, separable layer.
URL: N/A (local file: output-format-snapshot.md)
Extract¶
The document's opening line: "This is a custom output format for the ai-research-methodology plugin, optimized for integration with MkDocs Material and the GitHub Pages research archive."
The word "custom" directly implies that other output formats could exist. "For the ai-research-methodology plugin" establishes the output format as a component of a larger system, not an intrinsic part of the methodology itself.
The document specifies: directory structures, file naming conventions, metadata block formats (CSS classes, headerless tables), MkDocs-specific features (admonitions, div wrappers), and compliance rules for output generation. None of these are referenced in the methodology document.
Relevance to Hypotheses¶
| Hypothesis | Relationship | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Supports | Self-description as "custom output format" confirms separability |
| H2 | Contradicts | No coupling back to methodology's analytical steps |
| H3 | Contradicts | The document's existence as a separate file proves separation |
