- name: ultra-research
3
- description: Turn a raw Project Brief or scoped evidence gap into an accepted North Star, domain language, cited product and architecture specifications, and a hash-bound synthesis. Use after initialization, for brownfield baselining, or inside an active Change whose consequential claims are not yet evidenced.
4
- ---

-
6
- # Mature a project outline into an evidence-backed baseline
7
-
8
- Research is the first semantic writer of North Star v2 and owns the first accepted
9
- baseline plus later evidence-backed corrections. Web
10
- search is one evidence source, not the workflow: repository files, Git, tests, runtime,
11
- maintained documentation, owner decisions, and current primary sources all count.
12
-
13
- ## Route modes
14
-
15
- | Mode | Entry | Observable exit | Next |
16
- |---|---|---|---|
17
- | `baseline` | Explicit owner invocation with a usable Project Brief and no accepted baseline for the boundary | Selected reports, synthesis, specifications, vocabulary, and accepted North Star are read back; unknowns and omissions remain explicit | Recommend `ultra-change` in `intake` mode for the next bounded request |
18
- | `change-scoped` | Explicit invocation or a valid Execution Grant for one active Change's recorded Research Disposition | The named exit evidence exists and the selected canonical sections are refreshed without changing Change acceptance | Return to the same `ultra-change` in `reconcile` mode |
19
-
20
- Follow `../ultra-status/references/route-contract.md`. At entry, name the mode, entry
21
- question, selected coverage, observable stop condition, and return route. Refresh the
22
- Route Card at each material checkpoint, pause, and exit; lens counts are navigation, not
23
- proof that Research is semantically complete.
24
-
25
- ## Before you start
26
-
27
- 1. Resolve `baseline` or `change-scoped` from the artifacts and invocation. A
28
- model-selected run is valid only for `change-scoped` mode under the live execution
29
- grant in `../ultra-change/references/execution-grant.md` — a current session-local
30
- activation or a stably verified durable work-package grant covering the same Change;
31
- without it, stop and recommend explicit invocation. Baseline adoption is always an
32
- explicit-entry mode.
33
- 2. Resolve at most one active `change_id`, then read `.ultra/tasks.json` plus the
34
- `context_file` and `## Resume Note` of unfinished tasks whose `change_id` matches it,
35
- if any. Archived or abandoned unfinished rows are history, not the current frontier.
36
- 3. Read `.ultra/project-brief.md`. For a legacy project without it, treat the exact
37
- `.ultra/north-star.md` `## One-line` as raw intake until a brief is preserved.
38
- 4. Read existing `.ultra/north-star.md`, specifications, `CONTEXT.md`, relevant
39
- `.ultra/decisions/`, active Change intent, evidence, Git state, and maintained docs.
40
- Run `node <ultra-research-skill-dir>/scripts/validate_north_star.cjs
41
- .ultra/north-star.md`; this entry captures one bounded regular non-symlink snapshot
42
- and returns a typed repair diagnostic instead of following, blocking on, or validating
43
- a changing path. Treat `unresearched` as an empty destination and `legacy_unadopted`
44
- as preserved intake for explicit adoption, not accepted v2 truth.
45
-
46
- ## Definition of done
47
-
48
- - Every selected lens has a cited `.ultra/research/<run-id>/<area>.md` report and its
49
- canonical specification section contains the current conclusion and North Star relation.
50
- - The accepted North Star, shared vocabulary, product baseline, and architecture
51
- baseline are sufficient for the current planning boundary; unknowns stay explicit.
52
- - The North Star follows `references/north-star-v2.md`; all `FP-*`, `NS-*`, and `HC-*`
53
- definitions and references pass the structural validator without making that result
54
- a semantic verdict.
55
- - `99-synthesis.md` names what was promoted, overturned, deferred, or left blocking.
56
- - `.ultra/specs/research-distillate.md` stores the Git blob hash of each specification
57
- it summarizes. A mismatch makes the distillate stale, never authoritative.
58
-
59
- ## Find the path before collecting evidence
60
-
61
- When coverage spans several lenses or the path itself is unclear, read
62
- `references/wayfinding.md` and write `.ultra/research/<run-id>/brief.md`. Skip that file
63
- for one already-bounded evidence question. Wayfinding selects the smallest useful
64
- coverage; it does not create workflow state or another semantic authority.
65
-
66
- The derived brief records the entry question, selected lenses, deliberate omissions,
67
- dependencies, source plan, material checkpoints, observable stop condition, and return
68
- route. Read it on a fresh session instead of restarting completed evidence collection.
69
-
70
- Map the brief and unresolved specification sections to seventeen focused evidence
71
- lenses. Show the proposed coverage once. Pause only when it expands an accepted boundary
72
- or creates another material checkpoint; a covering Change Research Disposition does not
73
- need a duplicate confirmation. Load one reference at a time; the parent holds the
74
- question map, not every step prompt.
75
-
76
- The first six lenses have real semantic dependencies:
77
-
78
- - `00-problem-validation` runs before `01-opportunity-discovery` because an opportunity must trace to a problem.
79
- - `02-market-assessment` and `03-alternatives` are conditional lenses and may run in parallel once the boundary is known.
80
- - `04-product-strategy` is the first owner checkpoint and consumes the relevant conclusions from `00` through `03`.
81
- - `05-assumptions-validation` extracts load-bearing assumptions from `00` through `04` after the strategy decision.
82
-
83
- The later groups turn that premise into product behavior (`10` through `22`), then an
84
- architecture and operating baseline (`30` through `41`). The three owner checkpoints
85
- remain `04-product-strategy`, `21-features-scope`, and `99-synthesis`.
86
- At each checkpoint, use `../ultra-think/SKILL.md` for an adversarial challenge of the
87
- working candidate before asking the owner to accept direction, scope, or synthesis.
88
-
89
- Only areas with satisfied inputs may fan out through native bounded subagents. Never
90
- parallelize a lens whose question depends on an unresolved earlier conclusion.
91
-
92
- ## Investigate, ask, and decide
93
-
94
- For each selected lens:
95
-
96
- 1. Inspect reachable facts before asking. Search current primary sources when a claim
97
- depends on current external reality.
98
- 2. Separate Observed, Verified, Decided, Inference, and Unknown; cite external claims.
99
- Record `north_star_effect: supports | refines | contradicts | independent` and
100
- `north_star_claim: <the evidenced causal relation>` in the area report.
101
- 3. Follow `../ultra-grilling/SKILL.md` when a required owner field is missing. The lens
102
- supplies what to ask; Grilling supplies the one-question interaction loop.
103
- 4. Follow `../ultra-think/SKILL.md` for one consequential trade-off, not for mapping the
104
- whole research frontier.
105
- 5. Follow `../ultra-domain-modeling/SKILL.md` when evidence settles a shared term. The
106
- first such term creates `CONTEXT.md`; later calls sharpen it.
107
- 6. Write the area report, then replace the mapped specification section instead of
108
- appending a second version. Git retains history.
109
-
110
- For scoped Research inside an active Change, answer only its recorded `Research
111
- Disposition` question and produce the named exit evidence. Research writes reports and
112
- the mapped canonical baseline sections; it does not silently rewrite Change acceptance.
113
- Return the evidence paths so `ultra-change` can reconcile the accepted intent before
114
- planning when that contract must change. The scoped run's return route is always the
115
- same stable Change, even when the evidence supports the original intent unchanged.
116
-
117
- If web access is unavailable, record `[UNVERIFIED: no web access]` and continue with
118
- other evidence. Missing tooling lowers confidence; it does not manufacture a blocker.
119
-
120
- ## Synthesize the accepted baseline
121
-
122
- `04-product-strategy` proposes problem reality and falsifiable first-principle
123
- propositions. `22-success-metrics` determines whether a
124
- single North Star metric is justified or whether an observable outcome plus guardrails
125
- is more honest. Follow `references/north-star-v2.md`: validate a mutable candidate while
126
- the last accepted revision remains current, show the owner the semantic delta and
127
- unresolved contradictions, and preserve one stable `.ultra/decisions/<id>.md` acceptance
128
- record with the owner's exact words, conversation scope, the model's responsibility for
129
- final wording, and no invented timestamp or inheritance by a future revision. Only after
130
- the owner accepts the candidate, atomically replace `.ultra/north-star.md`, then update the three
131
- specifications, domain language, qualifying decisions, and distillate for the first
132
- baseline. A scoped Research run updates only its mapped specification sections and then
133
- refreshes the distillate's three source hashes.
134
-
135
- When an accepted revision supersedes another, preserve prior evidence and report every
136
- active Change whose recorded revision or digest differs as a stale observation requiring
137
- Change reconciliation. Supersession never deletes evidence, rewrites a Change silently,
138
- or grants execution.
139
-
140
- Load `references/99-synthesis.md` only after selected reports exist. Read every promoted
141
- file back, verify trace anchors and source hashes, and report exact unresolved gaps.
142
- For `baseline`, recommend `ultra-change/intake`; for `change-scoped`, return the named
143
- evidence to `ultra-change/reconcile`. Invoke neither unless the latter continuation is
144
- covered by the same valid Execution Grant; when it is covered, show the transition Route
145
- Card first and let Change re-verify its own mode and grant.
146
-
147
- ## When the owner decides
148
-
149
- The owner chooses coverage, resolves the three checkpoints, accepts a North Star and
150
- material deferrals, and authorizes any REDUCTION. The model establishes evidence facts,
151
- selects methods, and updates accepted files inside that frame.
