- **Predecessor:** (user question or `/dw-brainstorm`) | **Successor:** `/dw-create-prd` or standalone report
10
-
11
- <critical>Every factual claim MUST cite a specific source immediately [N]</critical>
12
- <critical>NO fabricated citations -- if unsure, say "No sources found for X"</critical>
13
- <critical>Bibliography must be COMPLETE -- every citation, no placeholders, no ranges</critical>

-
37
- Mode Selection
38
- +-- Initial exploration --> quick (3 phases, 2-5 min)
39
- +-- Standard research --> standard (6 phases, 5-10 min) [DEFAULT]
40
- +-- Critical decision --> deep (8 phases, 10-20 min)
41
- +-- Comprehensive review --> ultradeep (8+ phases, 20-45 min)

- ## Phase 1: SCOPE - Research Framing
63
-
64
- **Objective:** Define research boundaries and success criteria.
65
-
66
- 1. Decompose the question into core components
67
- 2. Identify stakeholder perspectives
68
- 3. Define scope boundaries (what is in/out)
69
- 4. Establish success criteria
70
- 5. List key assumptions to validate
71
-
72
- Use extended reasoning to explore multiple framings before committing to scope.
73
-
74
- **Output:** Structured scope document with research boundaries.
75
-
76
- ---
77
-
78
- ## Phase 2: PLAN - Strategy Formulation
79
-
80
- **Objective:** Create an intelligent research roadmap.
81
-
82
- 1. Identify primary and secondary sources
83
- 2. Map knowledge dependencies (what must be understood first)
84
- 3. Create search query strategy with variants
85
- 4. Plan triangulation approach
86
- 5. Estimate time/effort per phase
87
- 6. Define quality gates
88
-
89
- Branch into multiple potential research paths, then converge on optimal strategy.
90
-
91
- **Output:** Research plan with prioritized investigation paths.
92
-

94
-
95
- ## Phase 3: RETRIEVE - Parallel Information Gathering
96
-
97
- **Objective:** Systematically collect information from multiple sources using parallel execution.
98
-
99
- <critical>Execute ALL searches in parallel using a single message with multiple tool calls</critical>
100
-
101
- ### Query Decomposition Strategy
102
-
103
- Before launching searches, decompose the research question into 5-10 independent search angles:
104
-
105
- 1. **Core topic (semantic search)** - Meaning-based exploration of main concept
106
- 2. **Technical details (keyword search)** - Specific terms, APIs, implementations
107
- 3. **Recent developments (date-filtered)** - What is new in last 12-18 months
108
- 4. **Academic sources (domain-specific)** - Papers, research, formal analysis
109
- 5. **Alternative perspectives (comparison)** - Competing approaches, criticisms
110
- 6. **Statistical/data sources** - Quantitative evidence, metrics, benchmarks
111
- 7. **Industry analysis** - Commercial applications, market trends
112
- 8. **Critical analysis/limitations** - Known problems, failure modes, edge cases
113
-
114
- ### Parallel Execution Protocol
115
-
116
- **Step 0:** Get the current date via `date +%Y-%m-%d`. Use the returned year for all date-filtered queries. Do NOT assume a year from training data.
117
-
118
- **Step 1:** Launch ALL searches concurrently in a single message:
119
-
120
- Use `WebSearch` for web queries:
121
- ```
122
- WebSearch(query="topic state of the art 2026")
123
- WebSearch(query="topic limitations challenges")
124
- WebSearch(query="topic commercial applications")
125
- WebSearch(query="topic vs alternative comparison")
126
- ```
127
-
128
- **Step 2:** Spawn parallel deep-dive agents using the Task tool (3-5 agents) for:
129
- - Academic paper analysis
130
- - Documentation deep dives
131
- - Repository analysis
132
- - Specialized domain research
133
-
134
- Sub-agent output format -- require structured evidence:
135
- ```json
136
- {"claim": "specific claim text", "evidence_quote": "exact quote", "source_url": "https://...", "source_title": "...", "confidence": 0.85}
137
- ```
138
-
139
- **Step 3:** Collect and organize results. As results arrive:
140
- 1. Extract key passages with source metadata (title, URL, date, credibility)
141
- 2. Track information gaps
142
- 3. Follow promising tangents with additional targeted searches
143
- 4. Maintain source diversity (academic, industry, news, technical docs)
144
-
145
- ### First Finish Search (FFS) Pattern
146
-
147
- Proceed to Phase 4 when FIRST quality threshold is reached:
148
- - **Quick:** 10+ sources with avg credibility >60/100 OR 2 minutes elapsed
149
- - **Standard:** 15+ sources with avg credibility >60/100 OR 5 minutes elapsed
150
- - **Deep:** 25+ sources with avg credibility >70/100 OR 10 minutes elapsed
151
- - **UltraDeep:** 30+ sources with avg credibility >75/100 OR 15 minutes elapsed
152
-
153
- Continue remaining searches in background for additional depth.
154
-
155
- ### Source Quality Standards
156
-
157
- **Diversity requirements:**
158
- - Minimum 3 source types (academic, industry, news, technical docs)
159
- - Temporal diversity (recent 12-18 months + foundational older sources)
160
- - Perspective diversity (proponents + critics + neutral analysis)
161
-
162
- **Credibility scoring (0-100):**
163
- - Flag low-credibility sources (<40) for additional verification
164
- - Prioritize high-credibility sources (>80) for core claims
165
-
166
- ---
167
-
168
- ## Phase 4: TRIANGULATE - Cross-Reference Verification
169
-
170
- **Objective:** Validate information across multiple independent sources.
171
-
172
- 1. Identify claims requiring verification
173
- 2. Cross-reference facts across 3+ sources
174
- 3. Flag contradictions or uncertainties
175
- 4. Assess source credibility
176
- 5. Note consensus vs. debate areas
177
- 6. Document verification status per claim
178
-
179
- **Quality standards:**
180
- - Core claims must have 3+ independent sources
181
- - Flag any single-source information
182
- - Note recency of information
183
- - Identify potential biases
184
-
185
- **Output:** Verified fact base with confidence levels.
186
-
187

188
-
189
- ## Phase 5: OUTLINE REFINEMENT - Dynamic Evolution
190
-
191
- **Objective:** Adapt research direction based on evidence discovered. Prevents "locked-in" research when evidence points to different conclusions.
192
-
193
- **When:** Standard/Deep/UltraDeep modes only, after Phase 4, before Phase 6.
194
-
195
- **Signals for adaptation (ANY triggers refinement):**
196
- - Major findings contradict initial assumptions
197
- - Evidence reveals a more important angle than originally scoped
198
- - Critical subtopic emerged that was not in the original plan
199
- - Sources consistently discuss aspects not in the initial outline
200
-
201
- **Activities:**
202
- 1. Review initial scope vs. actual findings
203
- 2. Evaluate adaptation need
204
- 3. Refine outline if needed (add sections for unexpected findings, demote sections with insufficient evidence)
205
- 4. Targeted gap filling if major gaps found (2-3 searches, time-boxed to 2-5 minutes)
206
- 5. Document adaptation rationale
207
-
208
- **Anti-patterns:**
209
- - Do NOT adapt based on speculation
210
- - Do NOT add sections without supporting evidence already in hand
211
- - Do NOT completely abandon the original research question
212
- - DO adapt when evidence clearly indicates better structure
213
- - DO stay within original topic scope
214
-
215

216
-
217
- ## Phase 6: SYNTHESIZE - Deep Analysis
218
-
219
- **Objective:** Connect insights and generate novel understanding.
220
-
221
- 1. Identify patterns across sources
222
- 2. Map relationships between concepts
223
- 3. Generate insights beyond source material
224
- 4. Create conceptual frameworks
225
- 5. Build argument structures
226
- 6. Develop evidence hierarchies
227
-
228
- Use extended reasoning to explore non-obvious connections and second-order implications.

- ## Phase 7: CRITIQUE - Quality Assurance (Deep/UltraDeep only)
233
-
234
- **Objective:** Rigorously evaluate research quality.
235
-
236
- **Red Team Questions:**
237
- - What is missing?
238
- - What could be wrong?
239
- - What alternative explanations exist?
240
- - What biases might be present?
241
- - What counterfactuals should be considered?
242
-
243
- **Persona-Based Critique (Deep/UltraDeep):**
244
- - "Skeptical Practitioner" -- Would someone doing this daily trust these findings?
245
- - "Adversarial Reviewer" -- What would a peer reviewer reject?
246
- - "Implementation Engineer" -- Can these recommendations actually be executed?
247
-
248
- **Critical Gap Loop-Back:** If critique identifies a critical knowledge gap, return to Phase 3 with targeted "delta-queries" (time-boxed to 3-5 minutes) before proceeding.
249

251
-
252
- ## Phase 8: REFINE - Iterative Improvement (Deep/UltraDeep only)
253
-
254
- **Objective:** Address gaps and strengthen weak areas.
255
-
256
- 1. Conduct additional research for gaps
257
- 2. Strengthen weak arguments
258
- 3. Add missing perspectives
259
- 4. Resolve contradictions
260
- 5. Enhance clarity
261
-

263
-
264
- ## Phase 9: PACKAGE - Report Generation
265
-
266
- **Objective:** Deliver a professional, actionable research report.
267
-
268
- ### Report Length by Mode
269
-
270
- | Mode | Target Words |
271
- |------|-------------|
272
- | Quick | 2,000-4,000 |
273
- | Standard | 4,000-8,000 |
274
- | Deep | 8,000-15,000 |
275
- | UltraDeep | 15,000-20,000+ |
276
-
277
- ### Progressive Section Generation
278
-
279
- Generate and write each section individually using Write/Edit tools. This allows unlimited report length while keeping each generation manageable. No single section should exceed 2,000 words.
280
-
281
- **Output folder:** `~/Documents/[TopicName]_Research_[YYYYMMDD]/`
282
-
283
- **Initialize citation tracking:**
284
- ```bash
285
- mkdir -p ~/Documents/[folder_name]
286
- echo '[]' > [folder]/sources.json
287
- ```
288
-
289
- Update `sources.json` after each section for durable provenance tracking.
290
-
291
- ### Required Report Sections
292
-
293
- 1. **Executive Summary** (200-400 words)
294
- 2. **Introduction** (scope, methodology, assumptions)
295
- 3. **Main Analysis** (4-8 findings, 600-2,000 words each, cited)
296
- 4. **Synthesis and Insights** (patterns, implications)
297
- 5. **Limitations and Caveats**
298
- 6. **Recommendations**
299
- 7. **Bibliography** (COMPLETE -- every citation, no placeholders)
300
- 8. **Methodology Appendix**
301
-
302
- ### Output Files
303
-
304
- - Markdown (primary source): `research_report_[YYYYMMDD]_[slug].md`
305
- - HTML (McKinsey style, if requested): `research_report_[YYYYMMDD]_[slug].html`
306
- - PDF (professional print, if requested): `research_report_[YYYYMMDD]_[slug].pdf`

- ## Writing Standards
311
-
312
- | Principle | Description |
313
- |-----------|-------------|
314
- | Narrative-driven | Flowing prose, not bullet lists |
315
- | Precision | Every word deliberately chosen |
316
- | Economy | No fluff, eliminate fancy grammar |
317
- | Clarity | Exact numbers embedded in sentences |
318
- | Directness | State findings without embellishment |
319
- | High signal-to-noise | Dense information, respect reader time |
320
-
321
- **Prose-first rule:** At least 80% flowing prose, bullets only for distinct enumerated lists.
322
-
323
- **Precision examples:**
324
- | Bad | Good |
325
- |-----|------|
326
- | "significantly improved outcomes" | "reduced mortality 23% (p<0.01)" |
327
- | "several studies suggest" | "5 RCTs (n=1,847) show" |
328
- | "potentially beneficial" | "increased biomarker X by 15%" |
329
-

331
-
332
- ## Citation Standards
333
-
334
- - **Immediate citation:** Every factual claim followed by [N] in the same sentence
335
- - **Quote sources directly:** "According to [1]...", "[1] reports..."
336
- - **Distinguish fact from synthesis:** Label your own analysis separately from sourced facts
337
- - **No vague attributions:** Never "Research suggests..." -- always "Smith et al. (2024) found..." [1]
338
- - **Label speculation:** "This suggests a potential mechanism..."
339
- - **Admit uncertainty:** "No sources found addressing X directly."
340
-
341
- ### Bibliography Format
342
-
343
- ```
344
- [N] Author/Org (Year). "Title". Publication. URL (Retrieved: Date)
345
- ```
346
-
347
- **NEVER:**
348
- - Placeholders: "[8-75] Additional citations"
349
- - Ranges: "[3-50]" instead of individual entries
350
- - Truncation: Stopping at 10 when 30 are cited
351
-
352
- ---
353
-
354
- ## Anti-Hallucination Protocol
355
-
356
- - Every factual claim MUST cite a specific source immediately [N]
357
- - Distinguish FACTS (from sources) from SYNTHESIS (your analysis)
358
- - Use "According to [1]..." for source-grounded statements
359
- - Mark inferences as "This suggests..."
360
- - If unsure a source says X, do NOT fabricate the citation
361
- - When uncertain, say "No sources found for X"
362
-

365
- ## Quality Checklist (Per Section)
366
-
367
- - [ ] At least 3 paragraphs for major sections
368
- - [ ] Less than 20% bullets (at least 80% prose)
369
- - [ ] Zero placeholders ("Content continues", "Due to length")
370
- - [ ] Evidence-rich: specific data points, statistics, quotes
371
- - [ ] Citation density: major claims cited in the same sentence
372
- - [ ] If ANY fails: regenerate section before continuing
373
-

375
-
376
- ## Auto-Continuation Protocol
377
-
378
- For reports exceeding 18,000 words:
379
-
380
- 1. Generate sections 1-10 (stay under 18K words)
381
- 2. Save continuation state file with context preservation
382
- 3. Spawn continuation agent via Task tool
383
- 4. Continuation agent reads state, generates next batch, spawns next if needed
384
- 5. Chain continues recursively until complete
385
-
386
- Continuation state includes: progress tracking, citation numbering, research context, quality metrics, and remaining sections.
387

390
- ## Error Handling
391
-
392
- **Stop immediately if:**
393
- - 2 validation failures on same error
394
- - Less than 5 sources after exhaustive search
395
- - User interrupts or changes scope
396
-
397
- **Graceful degradation:**
398
- - 5-10 sources: Note in limitations, add extra verification
399
- - Time constraint: Package partial results, document gaps
400
- - High-priority critique: Address immediately
401
