STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
Purpose
- Coordinate multi-pipeline deep research work from question framing to productionized insights.
- Enforce quality gates, evidence hygiene, and explicit confidence ceilings at each stage.
- Maintain structure-first artifacts (SKILL, README, examples, references) and log handoffs.
Trigger Conditions
- Positive: multi-week research programs, academic-grade studies, or cross-pipeline coordination needs.
- Negative: single-question quick looks (use
researcher) or pure prompt shaping (use prompt-architect).
Guardrails
- Constraint extraction in HARD / SOFT / INFERRED buckets for scope, ethics, compute, and timelines.
- Two-pass refinement per deliverable: structure/coverage then epistemic/validation.
- Quality gates: Discovery (literature + gap clarity), Experimentation (replication + ablations), Production (deployment + monitoring).
- Explicit confidence ceilings on all claims; do not exceed evidence tier.
Inputs
- Research objective, success metrics, and timeline.
- Available datasets/resources, compute budget, and risk constraints.
- Required stakeholders and integration points.
Workflow
- Frame & Route: Define goal, success metrics, constraint buckets; map to pipelines (literature, replication, method dev, eval, publication).
- Plan Handoffs: Assign roles/agents, memory tags, and deliverable owners; schedule quality gates.
- Execute Pipelines: Run discovery → replication → experimentation → synthesis; use sub-skills as needed.
- Adversarial Validation: Challenge assumptions, run boundary cases, and verify reproducibility before exit.
- Package & Communicate: Consolidate artifacts, COV notes, risks, and next actions; ensure README/examples reflect latest practice.
Validation & Quality Gates
- Gate readiness recorded with evidence for discovery, experimentation, and production.
- Constraint coverage tracked; unresolved INFERRED items flagged.
- Deliverables include logs of handoffs, decisions, and confidence ceilings.
- Storage paths and tags recorded for recall.
