oracle-research-platform-is-13-layer-system-not-just-skill

The Oracle research system is a 13-layer platform — ORACLE Hermes (Opus 4.6 orchestrator), MiroFish simulation, Sequential Thinking (42 tools), Vault v3 (30 tools), Graphiti knowledge graph, NotebookLM (38 tools), Omnigraph multimodal, X-Pulse social intelligence, Observatory dashboard, Hermes Consul evolution, OpenAgents channels, CRO/Paperclip delegation, and AutoResearch skill. Treating Oracle as just the AutoResearch skill causes systematic underestimation of research capability. Future integration assessments must map against all 13 layers, not just the skill layer.
