[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting.

Prerequisites: MUST READ before executing:

• .claude/skills/shared/web-research-protocol.md

Quick Summary

Goal: Synthesize evidence base into final structured report using enforced template.

Workflow:

• Load evidence — Read evidence base from deep-research

• Load template — Read enforced template from docs/templates/

• Synthesize — Write report following template structure

• Citation check — Verify every claim has citation

• Confidence summary — Aggregate scores, flag gaps

Key Rules:

• MUST use enforced template structure — all sections required

• Every factual claim inline-cited: [N] referencing source table

• Knowledge gaps section mandatory

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Knowledge Synthesis

Step 1: Load Evidence

Read .claude/tmp/_evidence-{slug}.md and .claude/tmp/_sources-{slug}.md .

Inventory:

• Total findings with confidence scores

• Unresolved discrepancies

• Remaining gaps

Step 2: Load Template

Read the enforced template: docs/templates/research-report-template.md

Every section in the template MUST appear in the final report.

Step 3: Synthesize Report

Write to docs/knowledge/research/{slug}.md :

For each template section:

• Map relevant findings from evidence base

• Write content with inline citations [N]

• Declare confidence per finding

• Note cross-cutting patterns and contradictions in Analysis section

Step 4: Citation Audit

Verify:

• Every factual claim has at least one [N] citation

• Every source in the Sources table is referenced at least once

• No orphan citations (referencing non-existent source)

Step 5: Confidence Summary

Calculate overall report confidence:

• Average of all finding confidence scores

• Weight by finding importance

• Flag any <60% findings prominently

Output

Final report: docs/knowledge/research/{descriptive-slug}.md

Clean up working files from .claude/tmp/ after successful synthesis.

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

• Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks using TaskCreate

• Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
