SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Producing a trustworthy technical research report requires gathering current facts, verifying sources, and structuring findings across architecture, integration, and implementation topics, which is slow and error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Six-Step Workflow: Walks through scope confirmation, technology stack analysis, integration patterns, architectural patterns, implementation research, and final synthesis with user confirmation at each stage. - Web-Verified Research: Requires live web search with multi-source validation and URL citations for every claim, refusing to proceed without search capability. - Structured Report Generation: Produces a complete research document from a template with executive summary, table of contents, recommendations, and source documentation. - Use Case: Ask for a technical research report comparing GraphQL and REST API architectures, and the workflow interviews you on goals, researches current sources step by step, and delivers a fully cited report. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to produce a technical research report on a topic such as serverless deployment options for Node.js.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a technical research report with an AI agent?▼

State that you want a technical research report and provide your topic. The workflow asks clarifying questions about goals and scope, then researches step by step with web search, writing each section to a markdown document with citations.

What topics can technical research cover?▼

It covers technology stacks, programming languages, frameworks, databases, API and integration patterns, architectural patterns, scalability, security, and implementation practices. Any technology or architecture topic can be researched with current web sources.

Does technical research require web search access?▼

Yes, web search is a hard prerequisite. The workflow aborts if web search is unavailable because all claims must be verified against current public sources rather than relying on training data alone.

What is the output format of the research report?▼

The output is a markdown document created from a template, containing an executive summary, table of contents, sections on technology stack, integration, architecture, and implementation, plus strategic recommendations and cited sources.

Can I skip steps in the technical research workflow?▼

No, the workflow enforces sequential execution across six steps. Each step requires you to confirm with the continue option before the next step file loads, and progress is tracked in the document frontmatter.
