1. Ingestion & Scoping
Analyze the user's request. Is it a quick question or a project?
- Quick: Answer directly using
multi-source-investigation. - Project: Proceed to Task Scaffolding.
- Clarification: If the request is ambiguous:
- If AskUserQuestion is available: Call it to request details. - Otherwise: Ask the user directly in the conversation.
2. Protocol: Dynamic Scaffolding
DO NOT assume a standard workflow. Design the project based on the specific research question.
- Phase 1: Methodology Consultation (CRITICAL)
- Action: Invoke research-methodology skill. - Query: "Target Topic: [Topic]. Recommend the optimal research design and phase breakdown." - Wait for the design output (e.g., "Systematic Review", "Ethnography", "A/B Test").
- Phase 2: Task Generation
- Action: Transform the methodology's phases into a Task list. - Constraint: Every task must have a clear DONE condition. - *Example*: If Method="Systematic Review": - Task: Search Strategy (Dependencies: None) - Task: Screening (Dependencies: Search Strategy) - Task: Extraction (Dependencies: Screening)
- Phase 3: Persistence
- If Task tool is available: Use it immediately to persist the list. - Otherwise: Create a file named research-tasks.md with the checklist. - Output: Confirm the plan to the user.
3. Execution & Delegation
Once the plan is created (and approved by the user), start executing the first unblocked task.
- Delegate: "I am now acting as the [Skill Name] to complete Task [X]..."
- Update: Mark tasks as specific statuses (IN_PROGRESS, DONE) as you go.
