Waypoint File Formats (+2)
Waypoint File Formats
JSON Waypoints (Steps 0, 1):
- Structured data for programmatic access
- Small file sizes (1-15KB)
- Easy to parse and reference
Markdown Waypoints (Steps 2, 3, 4):
- Step 2:
02_protocol_foundation.md(Sections 1-6) - Step 3:
03_protocol_intervention.md(Sections 7-8) - Step 4:
04_protocol_operations.md(Sections 9-12) - Step 4:
02_protocol_draft.md(concatenated complete protocol) - Human-readable protocol documents
- Can be directly edited by users
- Individual section files preserved for easier regeneration
Data Minimization Strategy
Each step implements aggressive summarization:
- Keep: Top-N results (5-10 max)
- Keep: Key facts and IDs (NCT numbers, endpoint types)
- Keep: Concise rationale (2-3 sentences)
- Discard: Raw MCP query results (not needed after analysis)
- Discard: Full FDA guidance text (only excerpts/citations kept)
- Discard: Lower-ranked search results
Step Independence
Each subskill is designed to:
- Read only from waypoint files (not conversation history)
- Produce complete output in single execution
- Not depend on conversation context from previous steps
- Be runnable standalone
