SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep research projects can be fragmented and hard to reproduce. This Skill orchestrates a domain-agnostic, 13-agent team to drive a structured, six-phase workflow that ensures rigorous planning, synthesis, and publication-ready output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent orchestration: Delegates specialized roles (e.g., research_question_agent, bibliography_agent, synthesis_agent, editor_in_chief_agent) to cover scoping, literature review, synthesis, and editorial review.
  • Mode-rich workflow: Supports Socratic-guided planning, lit-review, systematic-review, and full pipeline modes for research-to-publication tasks.
  • Reproducibility & quality: Documents search strategies, applies evidence quality checks, and outputs in APA 7.0 and PRISMA-compatible formats.

Quick Start

Prompt the system with your topic to initiate Phase 1 Scoping and guide you through all phases to a complete APA-ready report.
