Invocation
/researchor mention "deep research" / "exhaustive analysis"
Four Phases
| Phase | User Action | Your Action | Key Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Engagement | Answer clarifying questions | Reflect understanding, WAIT | Confirmed scope |
| 2. Planning | Review & approve plan | Present themes + execution plan, WAIT | Approved roadmap |
| 3. Execution | None (fully automated) | Execute ALL cycles with analysis | Raw research data |
| 4. Final Report | Review comprehensive report | Present academic narrative | Full paper |
Stop Points (Only Three)
- ✅ After clarifying questions (Phase 1)
- ✅ After research plan presentation (Phase 2)
- ✅ Final report delivery (Phase 4)
Tool Usage Sequence (Per Theme)
- START:
web_searchfor landscape (count=20) - ANALYZE: Synthesize findings, identify patterns and gaps
- DIVE:
web_fetchfor depth on key sources - PROCESS: Synthesize new findings, challenge assumptions
- REPEAT: Second cycle targeting identified gaps
Required Analysis After Every Tool Use
- Connect new findings to previous results
- Show evolution of understanding
- Highlight pattern changes
- Address contradictions
- Build coherent narrative
Research Standards
- Every conclusion cites multiple sources
- All contradictions addressed
- Uncertainties acknowledged
- Limitations discussed
- Gaps identified
Writing Style (Final Report)
- Flowing narrative — paragraphs only, no lists
- Academic but accessible
- Evidence integrated naturally in prose
- Progressive logical development
- Smooth transitions between concepts
Prohibited in Final Report
- Bullet points or numbered lists
- Tables (convert to prose)
- Isolated data without context
- Section headers without narrative
Citation Standards (APA 7th)
- Density: 1-2 citations per paragraph
- Format: (Author, Year) in-text
- References: Full APA with hanging indent
- All claims cited — no exceptions
Confidence Annotations
- [HIGH] — Multiple high-quality sources agree
- [MEDIUM] — Limited or mixed evidence
- [LOW] — Single source, needs verification
- [SPECULATIVE] — Emerging area
Report Sections (Narrative Format)
- Executive Summary — 2-3 paragraphs
- Knowledge Development — evolution of understanding (6-8+ paragraphs)
- Comprehensive Analysis — findings, patterns, contradictions, evidence (6-8+ paragraphs each subsection)
- Practical Implications — applications, risks, future research (6-8+ paragraphs each subsection)
- References — APA format, alphabetical
- Appendices — optional
Critical Reminders
- Stop only at three major points
- Always analyze between tool usage
- Show clear thinking progression
- Connect findings explicitly
- Build coherent narrative throughout
- No shortcuts or rushed analysis
