# Geology and Earth Science Expert
> **Status**: ⚠️ Legacy template awaiting research upgrade
> **Last validated**: 2025-11-08
> **Confidence**: 🔴 Low — Legacy template awaiting research upgrade

## How to use this skill
1. Start with [modules/research-checklist.md](modules/research-checklist.md) and capture up-to-date sources.
2. Review [modules/known-gaps.md](modules/known-gaps.md) and resolve outstanding items.
3. Load topic-specific modules from [_toc.md](_toc.md) only after verification.
4. Update metadata when confidence improves.

## Module overview
- [Core guidance](modules/core-guidance.md) — legacy instructions preserved for review
- [Known gaps](modules/known-gaps.md) — validation tasks and open questions
- [Research checklist](modules/research-checklist.md) — mandatory workflow for freshness

## Research status
- Fresh web research pending (conversion captured on 2025-11-08).
- Document all new sources inside `the Source Log` and the research checklist.
- Do not rely on this skill until confidence is upgraded to `medium` or `high`.

Overview

This skill is an earth science expert covering plate tectonics, mineralogy, geological history, and environmental geology. It provides structured guidance, topic modules, and a research-centered workflow for building reliable geoscience knowledge. Currently it is a legacy template that requires verification and fresh source integration before production use.

How this skill works

The skill organizes content into topic-specific modules and a research checklist that guides verification. It inspects existing modules for known gaps, tracks source provenance in a Source Log, and requires up-to-date literature or web sources to raise confidence. Users must validate modules and update metadata to change the skill's confidence level.

When to use it

When you need a structured knowledge base for plate tectonics, mineralogy, or geologic history
During initial literature review and source capture for geoscience topics
To audit existing geology content for gaps and provenance
When preparing teaching materials, reports, or research summaries that need verified sources
Before deploying content to clients or production—only after confidence is upgraded

Best practices

Start each topic by running the research checklist and recording sources in the Source Log
Resolve items in the known-gaps module before relying on conclusions
Verify facts against primary literature, recent reviews, and authoritative datasets
Annotate module metadata with validation date and confidence level after review
Use modular loading: only import topic modules after they are validated

Example use cases

Compile a lesson plan on plate tectonics built from verified, cited sources
Audit an internal mineralogy reference and fix gaps in mineral classification or properties
Create a geological history summary for a region, with source-backed stratigraphic correlations
Prepare an environmental geology impact brief that cites up-to-date hazard and mitigation research
Standardize a team workflow for capturing and validating new geoscience findings

FAQ

Is this skill ready for production use?

No. The skill is a legacy template with low confidence until fresh research is completed and sources are documented.

How do I raise the confidence level?

Follow the research checklist, log all new sources in the Source Log, resolve known gaps, and update module metadata with validation details.
