{project} Research Patterns

Research workflow patterns tailored to this project's domain and research requirements.

Variables

Instructions

1. Identify the research question and scope
2. Select appropriate sources based on domain
3. Coordinate research subagents if available
4. Synthesize findings with proper attribution
5. Format output according to project conventions

Red Flags - STOP and Reconsider

If you're about to:

• Make claims without source verification
• Skip the synthesis step
• Use sources outside the approved list

STOP -> Verify sources -> Synthesize properly -> Then report

Workflow

1. Scope Definition

Define the research scope:

• Primary question
• Related sub-questions
• Domain boundaries
• Required source types

2. Source Selection

Approved source types for this project:

• [TODO: Add project-specific sources]
• Web search for recent information
• Documentation for technical details
• Academic sources for foundational concepts

3. Research Execution

For each source type:

1. Query appropriate source
2. Extract relevant information
3. Note confidence level
4. Record citation

4. Synthesis

Combine findings into coherent output:

• Summarize key findings
• Highlight consensus/disagreements
• Provide confidence assessment
• List all citations

Project-Specific Patterns

[TODO: Add patterns discovered in this project]

Example pattern:

### Pattern: [Name]
- **When**: [Trigger condition]
- **Do**: [Actions]
- **Output**: [Expected format]

Integration

This skill integrates with:

• Research subagents in .claude/agents/
• BAML types for structured outputs (if applicable)
• Documentation in ai-docs/

Customization

Edit this file to add project-specific:

• Approved sources
• Domain vocabulary
• Output templates
• Quality criteria
