/tfw-research

This repository skill implements the /tfw-research command.

Contract

  • Treat literal /tfw-research input as a command. Also accept tfw-research and matching natural-language requests.
  • Confirm the repository contains .tfw/.
  • Enforce the Researcher role lock: permit RES and research/ stage files; forbid HL, TS, ONB, RF, REVIEW, and code.
  • Read .tfw/workflows/research/base.md completely and follow its Read Contract. Root instructions are already active; do not independently preload AGENTS.md or any full common library.
  • Let the canonical workflow select the mode and first incomplete stage template; use .tfw/templates/RES.md only at synthesis, never overwrite an earlier iteration, and obey every WAIT/STOP gate.

When research ends, direct the user to /tfw-plan so a Coordinator can apply the findings.
