+# Research Gate Protocol Examples
+
+## Example 1: Research Gate Triggered
+
+```
+User: "Add caching to improve performance"
+
+PM Analysis:
+- Ambiguous: which component? what metric? what cache?
+- Multiple approaches: Redis, Memcached, in-memory
+- Research needed: YES
+
+PM Action:
+Step 1: ✅ Determined research needed
+Step 2: Delegate to Research:
+  "Research caching requirements and approach for performance improvement"
+Step 3: Research returns:
+  - Target: API response time <200ms (currently 800ms)
+  - Recommended: Redis for session caching
+  - Files: src/api/middleware/cache.js
+  - Dependencies: redis, ioredis
+Step 4: Delegate to Engineer with research context
+  "Implement Redis caching per Research findings..."
+
+Result: ✅ Implementation based on validated requirements
+```
+
+## Example 2: Research Gate Skipped (Appropriate)
+
+```
+User: "Update package version to 1.2.3 in package.json"
+
+PM Analysis:
+- Clear: specific file, specific action, specific value
+- Simple: no ambiguity, no multiple approaches
+- Research needed: NO
+
+PM Action:
+Skip Research Gate → Delegate directly to Engineer
+"Update version in package.json to 1.2.3"
+
+Result: ✅ Appropriate skip, task is trivial
+```
+
+## Example 3: Research Gate Violated (PM Error)
+
+```
+User: "Add authentication"
+
+PM Analysis:
+- Ambiguous: which auth method?
+- Multiple approaches: OAuth, JWT, sessions
+- Research needed: YES
+
+❌ PM VIOLATION: Skips Research, delegates directly:
+"Implement authentication using JWT"
+
+Problems:
+- PM made assumption (JWT) without validation
+- User might want OAuth
+- Security requirements not researched
+- Implementation may need rework
+
+Correct Action:
+Step 1: Recognize ambiguity
+Step 2: Delegate to Research first
+Step 3: Validate findings (which auth method user wants)
+Step 4: Then delegate implementation with validated approach
+```
+
+## Decision Matrix Reference
+
+| Scenario | Research Needed? | Reason |
+|----------|------------------|--------|
+| "Fix login bug" | ✅ YES | Ambiguous: which bug? which component? |
+| "Fix bug where /api/auth/login returns 500 on invalid email" | ❌ NO | Clear: specific endpoint, symptom, trigger |
+| "Add authentication" | ✅ YES | Multiple approaches: OAuth, JWT, session-based |
+| "Add JWT authentication using jsonwebtoken library" | ❌ NO | Clear: specific approach specified |
+| "Optimize database" | ✅ YES | Unclear: which queries? what metric? target? |
+| "Optimize /api/users query: target <100ms from current 500ms" | ❌ NO | Clear: specific query, metric, baseline, target |
+| "Implement feature X" | ✅ YES | Needs requirements, acceptance criteria |
+| "Build dashboard" | ✅ YES | Needs design, metrics, data sources |

+
+## Step 3: Handling Incomplete Findings and Blockers
+
+### Incomplete Research Findings
+
+**Scenario**: Research Agent returns incomplete findings.
+
+**PM Detection**:
+- Missing clear requirements specification
+- No recommended approach or weak justification
+- File paths not identified
+- Dependencies unclear
+- Acceptance criteria missing
+
+**PM Action**:
+```
+Re-delegate to Research with specific gaps:
+
+"Research findings for [task] are incomplete. Please provide:
+- [Gap 1]: Missing clear requirements specification. What exactly needs to be built?
+- [Gap 2]: Recommended approach lacks justification. Why is [approach X] better than [approach Y]?
+- [Gap 3]: File paths not identified. Which modules will be affected?
+- [Gap 4]: Dependencies unclear. What external libraries are required?
+
+Please complete the research with these specific items."
+```
+
+**Example**:
+```
+User: "Add authentication"
+
+Research Agent returns:
+"Recommend using JWT authentication."
+
+PM Analysis:
+❌ Incomplete findings:
+- No requirements clarification (which auth flow? what roles?)
+- No justification (why JWT over OAuth or sessions?)
+- No file paths identified
+- No dependencies listed
+
+PM Re-delegation:
+"Research findings for authentication are incomplete. Please provide:
+1. Requirements clarification:
+   - What authentication flow is needed? (signup, login, password reset)
+   - What authorization is needed? (roles, permissions)
+   - What's the user context? (web, mobile, both)
+
+2. Approach justification:
+   - Why JWT over OAuth? (trade-offs)
+   - Why JWT over sessions? (trade-offs)
+   - What's the token storage strategy? (localStorage, cookies, httpOnly)
+
+3. File paths:
+   - Where does authentication logic go?
+   - What files need middleware?
+   - Where are routes defined?
+
+4. Dependencies:
+   - What JWT library? (jsonwebtoken, jose, others)
+   - What hashing library? (bcrypt, argon2)
+   - Any other dependencies?
+
+Please complete the research with these details."
+```
+
+---
+
+### Research Reveals Blockers
+
+**Scenario**: Research identifies blockers that prevent immediate implementation.
+
+**PM Detection**:
+- Research findings include "blocker" or "unknown" items
+- Dependencies require approval or procurement
+- Technical constraints not yet resolved
+- Unclear requirements that need user clarification
+
+**PM Action**:
+```
+Report to user BEFORE delegating implementation:
+
+"Research for [task] identified blockers:
+- [Blocker 1]: [Description and impact]
+- [Blocker 2]: [Description and impact]
+
+Recommended action:
+Option A: [Address blockers first] - [timeline estimate]
+Option B: [Proceed with workaround] - [trade-offs]
+
+Please confirm how to proceed."
+```
+
+**Example**:
+```
+User: "Integrate with external payment API"
+
+Research Agent returns:
+"Recommended approach: Stripe integration
+Blocker: API keys not available
+Blocker: PCI compliance requirements unclear"
+
+PM Report to User:
+"Research for payment API integration identified blockers:
+
+Blocker 1: API keys not available
+- Impact: Cannot test integration without production API keys
+- Resolution: Need Stripe account setup and API key provisioning
+
+Blocker 2: PCI compliance requirements unclear
+- Impact: May need infrastructure changes for compliance
+- Resolution: Need security team review of PCI DSS requirements
+
+Recommended action:
+Option A: Resolve blockers first (2-3 day delay)
+  1. Set up Stripe account and obtain API keys
+  2. Security team reviews PCI compliance requirements
+  3. Then proceed with implementation
+
+Option B: Proceed with mock integration (no delay, but incomplete)
+  1. Build integration using Stripe test mode
+  2. Deploy to staging only
+  3. Address blockers before production deployment
+
+Please confirm how to proceed."
+```

+
+## Step 4: Implementation Delegation Template
+
+**Template for delegating to Implementation Agent after Research**:
+
+```
+Task: Implement [feature] based on Research findings
+
+🔍 RESEARCH CONTEXT (MANDATORY):
+- Research completed by: Research Agent
+- Approach validated: [Recommended approach]
+- Files to modify: [List from Research]
+- Dependencies: [List from Research]
+- Risks identified: [List from Research]
+
+📋 REQUIREMENTS (from Research):
+[Clear requirements specification from Research findings]
+
+✅ ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (from Research):
+[Specific acceptance criteria from Research findings]
+
+⚠️ CONSTRAINTS (from Research):
+[Performance, security, compatibility constraints]
+
+💡 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE (from Research):
+[Specific technical approach, patterns to follow]
+
+Your Task:

+Reference the research context for any decisions.
+Report back if research findings are insufficient.
+
+Success Criteria:
+- All acceptance criteria met
+- Follows recommended approach
+- Addresses identified risks
+- Includes tests per Research recommendations
+```
+
+**Example Delegation**:
+
+```
+User: "Add caching to improve performance"
+
+Research completed, PM now delegates to Engineer:
+---
+Task: Implement Redis caching for API endpoints based on Research findings
+
+🔍 RESEARCH CONTEXT (MANDATORY):
+- Research completed by: Research Agent
+- Approach validated: Redis caching for session and query results
+- Files to modify:
+  - src/api/middleware/cache.js (create new)
+  - src/api/routes/users.js (add caching)
+  - src/api/routes/posts.js (add caching)
+  - config/redis.js (create new)
+- Dependencies:
+  - redis (v4.x)
+  - ioredis (v5.x)
+- Risks identified:
+  - Cache stampede on popular endpoints (mitigation: add jitter to TTL)
+  - Stale data if cache invalidation fails (mitigation: short TTL + manual invalidation)
+
+📋 REQUIREMENTS (from Research):
+1. Cache GET requests for /api/users and /api/posts endpoints
+2. Set TTL to 5 minutes (300 seconds)
+3. Implement cache invalidation on POST, PUT, DELETE
+4. Add cache hit/miss metrics
+5. Handle Redis connection failures gracefully (fallback to no-cache)
+
+✅ ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (from Research):
+- API response time for cached endpoints <200ms (from current 800ms)
+- Cache hit rate >60% after warmup period
+- No stale data served (cache invalidates on updates)
+- Graceful degradation if Redis unavailable (logs warning, serves fresh data)
+- Tests covering cache hit, cache miss, invalidation, and failure scenarios
+
+⚠️ CONSTRAINTS (from Research):
+- Performance: Target <200ms response time (measured at 95th percentile)
+- Security: Do not cache sensitive user data (passwords, tokens, PII)
+- Compatibility: Must work with existing authentication middleware
+
+💡 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE (from Research):
+1. Use ioredis for Redis client (better TypeScript support)
+2. Follow existing middleware pattern in src/api/middleware/
+3. Add cache key prefix: `api:cache:{endpoint}:{params}`
+4. Implement cache invalidation using Redis pub/sub for distributed systems
+5. Add monitoring with cache hit/miss ratio metrics
+
+Your Task:
+Implement Redis caching following Research findings.
+Reference the research context for any decisions.
+Report back if research findings are insufficient.
+
+Success Criteria:
+- All acceptance criteria met
+- Follows recommended approach (ioredis, middleware pattern)
+- Addresses identified risks (cache stampede, stale data)
+- Includes tests per Research recommendations (hit, miss, invalidation, failure)

+
+## Research Gate Compliance Tracking
+
+**Purpose**: Track PM adherence to Research Gate Protocol for quality metrics.
+
+**PM MUST track compliance in internal state**:
+
+```json

+
+## Advanced Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Multi-Stage Research
+
+**User Request**: "Build a real-time chat feature"
+
+**PM Analysis**:
+- Very ambiguous (architecture, protocol, scale)
+- Multiple implementation approaches
+- Unfamiliar area (WebSockets, real-time sync)
+- Research needed: YES (high complexity)
+
+**Stage 1: Broad Research**
+```
+PM → Research Agent:
+"Research real-time chat requirements and architecture"
+
+Research Returns:
+- Requirements: 1-on-1 chat, group chat, typing indicators, read receipts
+- Approaches: WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, Long Polling
+- Recommended: WebSockets (Socket.io for fallback support)
+- Complexity: High (3-5 day estimate)
+- Dependencies: socket.io, Redis (for horizontal scaling)
+```
+
+**PM Decision**: Requirements revealed more complexity, need deeper research on architecture
+
+**Stage 2: Deep Dive Research**
+```
+PM → Research Agent:
+"Research Socket.io implementation architecture for chat with Redis"
+
+Research Returns:
+- Architecture: Multi-server setup with Redis pub/sub
+- File structure: /src/chat/{server.js, handlers.js, events.js}
+- Scaling strategy: Redis adapter for Socket.io
+- State management: Redis for chat history and user presence
+- Security: JWT authentication for Socket.io handshake
+```
+
+**PM Action**: Now has complete requirements, delegates to Engineer with comprehensive research context
+
+**Key Learning**: Complex tasks may need multi-stage research (broad → deep)
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 2: Research Reveals Simpler Approach
+
+**User Request**: "Optimize database queries"
+
+**PM Analysis**:
+- Ambiguous (which queries? how much optimization?)
+- Research needed: YES
+
+**Research Delegation**:
+```
+PM → Research Agent:
+"Research database query optimization requirements"
+
+Research Returns:
+- Analysis: Only 2 queries are slow (users endpoint, posts endpoint)
+- Root cause: Missing indexes on foreign keys
+- Recommended: Add indexes, NOT full database overhaul
+- Complexity: Low (1 hour estimate)
+- Files: migrations/add-indexes.sql
+```
+
+**PM Action**: Research revealed simpler solution than expected
+
+**Key Learning**: Research prevents over-engineering by identifying simplest solution
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 3: Research Invalidates User Request
+
+**User Request**: "Add Redis caching to all endpoints"
+
+**PM Analysis**:
+- Sounds clear but needs validation
+- Research needed: YES (performance baselines)
+
+**Research Delegation**:
+```
+PM → Research Agent:
+"Research performance baselines and caching requirements"
+
+Research Returns:
+- Analysis: Most endpoints already <100ms (acceptable)
+- Only 3 endpoints slow: /api/users, /api/posts, /api/analytics
+- Caching ALL endpoints would add complexity without benefit
+- Recommended: Cache only the 3 slow endpoints
+```
+
+**PM Reports to User**:
+```
+"Research found that most endpoints are already fast (<100ms).
+Only 3 endpoints need caching: /api/users, /api/posts, /api/analytics
+
+Recommended approach: Cache only these 3 endpoints (simpler, maintains performance)
+
+Do you want to:
+A) Cache only slow endpoints (recommended)
+B) Cache all endpoints as originally requested
+C) Review performance data before deciding"
+```
+
+**Key Learning**: Research can prevent unnecessary work by validating assumptions
