How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

argument-hint: "[research task, estimation problem, or methodological improvement]"
disable-model-invocation: true
Swarm-enabled LFG. Run these steps in order, parallelizing where indicated. Do not stop between steps — complete every step through to the end.
Sequential Phase
1. `/workflows:brainstorm $ARGUMENTS` **Gate:** must produce a file in `docs/brainstorms/` before proceeding.
2. `/workflows:plan` **Gate:** must produce a file in `docs/plans/` before proceeding.
3. `/workflows:work` — **Use swarm mode**: Break the plan into independent tasks and launch parallel subagents via Task tool to build them concurrently. Each subagent handles one task from the plan. See `references/orchestration-patterns.md` for parallel dispatch patterns. **Gate:** must produce at least one code change (committed or staged) before proceeding. If work fails with no changes, stop and report the failure.
Parallel Phase
After work completes, launch steps 4 and 5 as **parallel swarm agents** (both only need completed code to operate):
4. `/workflows:review` — spawn as background Task agent 5. `/workflows:compound` — spawn as background Task agent
Wait for both to complete before finishing.
Output
When all steps are done, output:
Research workflow complete.
Brainstorm: [brainstorm file path]
Plan: [plan file path]
Work: [summary of implementation]
Review: [summary of findings]
Documentation: [docs/solutions/ path if created]
Start with step 1 now.
