# STORM Research Method

Stanford's STORM framework adapted as a 4-stage sequential pipeline. Published at NAACL 2024 by Stanford OVAL Lab.

**Critical rule: stages must run sequentially.** Each stage produces full-length output. The next stage receives the complete accumulated results as context. Never compress multiple stages into a single model call — that kills depth.

## Output Destination

```
/Users/pixies/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Mydoc/Inbox/STORM-[主题]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md
```

## Execution Protocol

### Step 1: Get topic from user

Ask for the research topic. If the user provides a role (e.g. "我是出版人"), note it for Stage 3's actionable insight.

### Step 2: Run Stage 1 — Multi-Perspective Scan

Load `references/prompts.md`. Send Prompt 1 to the model with the user's topic.

Collect the FULL output. Do not summarize or truncate.

**Expected output:** 5 perpectives (Practitioner, Scholar, Skeptic, Economist, Historian), each containing: 2-sentence core stance, strongest evidence, unique insight.

### Step 3: Run Stage 2 — Contradiction Map

Send Prompt 2 to the model, **preceded by the complete Stage 1 output**. Format:

```
以下是第一阶段的多视角扫描结果：

[粘贴 Stage 1 完整输出]

---

基于上面的 5 个视角，绘制矛盾地图：
[Prompt 2 原文]
```

Collect the FULL output.

**Expected output:** direct contradictions with specific claims, evidence strength ranking with reasons, key question to resolve the biggest conflict, consensus among all 5, blind spots no one addressed.

### Step 4: Run Stage 3 — Synthesis

Send Prompt 3 to the model, **preceded by the complete Stage 1 + Stage 2 output**. Use the user's role in the actionable insight section. Format:

```
以下是前两阶段的研究结果：

[粘贴 Stage 1 完整输出]

[粘贴 Stage 2 完整输出]

---

将以上 5 个视角和矛盾地图中的所有内容综合成一份研究简报：
[Prompt 3 原文，其中 [你的角色] 替换为用户角色]
```

Collect the FULL output.

**Expected output:** CEO summary, 5 key findings with supporter/skeptic per finding and reliability score (1-10), hidden connections, actionable insight, frontier question.

### Step 5: Run Stage 4 — Peer Review

Send Prompt 4 to the model, **preceded by the complete Stage 1 + Stage 2 + Stage 3 output**.

Collect the FULL output.

**Expected output:** confidence score per finding with explanation, weakest claim and what's needed to verify, bias check with specific examples, missing 6th perspective, overall grade with what a Stanford professor would say.

### Step 6: Assemble and Save

Merge all 4 stages into a single `.md` file with the structure below. Save to Vault. Notify user of path.

## Output Structure

# STORM 研究：[主题]

## 第一阶段：多视角扫描

### 1. 实践者
...
### 2. 学者
...
### 3. 怀疑论者
...
### 4. 经济学家
...
### 5. 历史学家
...

## 第二阶段：矛盾地图

...

## 第三阶段：研究简报

...

## 第四阶段：同行评审

...
```

## Quality Checklist

After each stage, verify before proceeding:

- Each perspective has named entities (people, places, works, data)
- Arguments are specific, not generic platitudes
- Evidence is cited or described concretely
- Output feels like it was produced by someone with domain expertise

## Extended Capabilities

### Deeper Dive on One Perspective

If the user says "再深入 X 视角", load and use Prompt 5 from `references/prompts.md`.

### Decision Support

If the user has a specific decision, after the 4 stages, load and use Prompt 6 from `references/prompts.md`. Triggered by keywords: "该不该"、"要不要"、"怎么选"、"决策"、"投资"、"谈判".
