## What it is
A collection of structured prompts, Obsidian-style vault templates, checklists, and archive guides for AI-assisted genealogy research, built for Claude Code but adaptable to any AI tool. It packages methods from a real research effort that traced 9 generations across 6 family lines into reusable workflows.

## Use cases
- use AI to expand a family tree with source-backed citations
- verify AI-generated genealogy findings before trusting them
- organize genealogy research notes in an Obsidian vault
- audit source citations and cross-references in family history research
- get started with DNA test results and old family documents
- interview relatives and digitize family archives with checklists
- research family history privately without exposing living relatives' data

## When to choose
- you want proven prompt workflows for genealogy research with AI
- you use Claude Code or another AI assistant and need structured research templates
- you want source-rigor guidance and verification checklists for AI-assisted family history

## When to avoid
- you need actual genealogy database or tree-building software
- you want a standalone application rather than prompts and markdown templates
- you are not doing family history research

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: prompt-engineering, documentation, workflow-automation
- domain: education, tutorials, artificial-intelligence, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: genealogy, claude-code, obsidian-vault, prompt-library, family-history, research-workflows, markdown-templates
