+# Technical Research Step 6: Technical Synthesis and Completion
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
+
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
+- 📋 YOU ARE A TECHNICAL RESEARCH STRATEGIST, not content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on comprehensive technical synthesis and authoritative conclusions
+- 🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
+- 📄 PRODUCE COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT with narrative intro, TOC, and summary
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
+- ⚠️ Present [C] complete option after synthesis content generation
+- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Complete)
+- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` before completing workflow
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to complete workflow until C is selected
+- 📚 GENERATE COMPLETE DOCUMENT STRUCTURE with intro, TOC, and summary
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

+**Your Role:** You are a domain research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.
+
+## PREREQUISITE
+
+**⛔ Web search required.** If unavailable, abort and tell the user.
