Research Strategy

1. **Break Down the Topic**

• Identify 2-4 key subtopics or angles to investigate
• Ensure comprehensive coverage without redundancy

2. **Parallel Research**

• Spawn researcher subagents for each subtopic
• Each researcher should conduct 3-7 web searches
• Focus on authoritative, recent sources (2024-2025)

3. **Source Quality**

• Prioritize: academic papers, official docs, reputable news
• Cross-reference claims from multiple sources
• Note any conflicting information

4. **Output Requirements**

• Save findings to files/research_notes/
• Use clear, descriptive filenames
• Include source URLs for citations

5. **Synthesis**

• After all research is complete, automatically spawn report-writer
• Create a comprehensive synthesis in files/reports/

Quality Standards

• Minimum 3 sources per subtopic
• Include diverse perspectives
• Flag areas where information is uncertain or conflicting
• Note knowledge gaps for potential follow-up
