Could you build this?
Partial The packaged agent skill and interface are easy to write, but its value depends on curated, multilingual archival knowledge of post-Soviet record systems that is hard to assemble.
What it would actually take: The skill itself is essentially structured instructions, tool definitions, and citation formatting for agents like Codex or Claude Code, which is easy to produce. The hard part is the knowledge base: understanding how church, civil, military, and repression archives are organized across many countries, languages, and historical alphabets, and having reliable access to digitized sources. That requires genealogical research expertise and language skills in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, and others.
