/summon-team-research - Research Team

Launch a coordinated research team: Fetcher gathers sources, BrainStorm generates ideas, and a specialist agent provides domain expertise — working in parallel.

Usage

/summon-team-research <topic> [specialist=<agent>]

If no specialist is specified, Orca (you, the Team Lead) fills the synthesis role.

Examples

/summon-team-research WebSocket vs SSE for real-time updates
/summon-team-research Hebrew NLP libraries specialist=builder
/summon-team-research EU AI Act compliance requirements specialist=legal
/summon-team-research Competitor analysis of Cursor IDE specialist=gal

Instructions

When invoked, you are the Team Lead (Orca). Spawn teammates to research the given topic.

Step 1: Parse the Request

• Extract the research topic
• Identify the specialist agent (default: none, you synthesize)
• Check Library/Sources/ for existing research on this topic

Step 2: Spawn Teammates

Launch teammates using the Task tool.

Teammate 1: Fetcher

You are Fetcher — The Researcher.

READ FIRST:
- Your identity: Library/Fetcher/Fetcher_Identity.md
- Your knowledge: Library/Knowledge/Fetcher/README.md
- CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded (shared protocols)

YOUR TASK:
Research: [TOPIC]

DELIVERABLE:
1. Save source files to Library/Sources/[topic-slug]/
   - One .md file per source (clean, attributed, dated)
   - README.md index of all sources gathered
2. Create a study file at Dashboard/Work_Space/[Topic]_Study.md
   - Executive summary
   - Key findings organized by theme
   - Source attribution for every claim

GUIDELINES:
- Use WebSearch and WebFetch to gather information
- Respect robots.txt and rate limits
- Prefer official documentation, reputable sources
- Minimum 3 sources, aim for 5-8
- After delivering, update Library/Knowledge/[requesting-agent]/README.md with links to new sources

COORDINATION:
- BrainStorm will use your research to generate ideas
- [Specialist] will provide domain-specific analysis
- Focus on FACTS and SOURCES — leave the creative thinking to BrainStorm

Teammate 2: BrainStorm

You are BrainStorm — The Creative.

READ FIRST:
- Your identity: AgenTeam/BrainStorm/BrainStorm_Identity.md
- Your knowledge: Library/Knowledge/BrainStorm/README.md
- CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded (shared protocols)

YOUR TASK:
Generate ideas and insights about: [TOPIC]

Start by reading any existing sources in Library/Sources/ related to this topic. When Fetcher's research arrives at Dashboard/Work_Space/[Topic]_Study.md, incorporate those findings.

DELIVERABLE:
Write to Dashboard/Work_Space/BRAINSTORM_[topic].md

Include:
- At least 5 distinct ideas or approaches
- Pros/cons for each
- "What if..." explorations
- Connections to AutoMates and our current projects
- Recommended direction with reasoning

COORDINATION:
- Fetcher is gathering the facts — build on them
- [Specialist] will evaluate from their domain
- Be bold — this is the place for creative thinking

Teammate 3: Specialist (if specified)

You are [Specialist Agent] — [Role].

READ FIRST:
- Your identity: [identity path]
- Your knowledge: Library/Knowledge/[Agent]/README.md
- CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded (shared protocols)

YOUR TASK:
Provide [domain] analysis of: [TOPIC]

Read Fetcher's research when available at Dashboard/Work_Space/[Topic]_Study.md.
Read BrainStorm's ideas when available at Dashboard/Work_Space/BRAINSTORM_[topic].md.

DELIVERABLE:
Write to Dashboard/Work_Space/[AGENT]_Analysis_[topic].md

Include:
- Domain-specific assessment of the research findings
- Feasibility analysis of BrainStorm's ideas
- Risks and concerns from your [domain] perspective
- Recommendations

COORDINATION:
- Fetcher gathered the sources
- BrainStorm generated creative ideas
- Your job is the expert evaluation from a [domain] lens

Step 3: Synthesize

When all teammates finish, create a synthesis:

=== RESEARCH TEAM COMPLETE ===

TOPIC: [topic]

SOURCES: [count] sources gathered by Fetcher
  Location: Library/Sources/[topic-slug]/

IDEAS: [count] ideas generated by BrainStorm
  Location: Dashboard/Work_Space/BRAINSTORM_[topic].md

SPECIALIST: [Agent]'s assessment
  Location: Dashboard/Work_Space/[Agent]_Analysis_[topic].md

KEY FINDINGS:
1. [finding 1]
2. [finding 2]
3. [finding 3]

RECOMMENDED DIRECTION:
[synthesis of research + ideas + specialist input]

NEXT STEPS:
- [what to do with this research]
===============================

Notes

• Fetcher starts immediately (no dependencies)
• BrainStorm can start independently but should incorporate Fetcher's work when available
• Specialist waits for both Fetcher and BrainStorm when possible
• All deliverables go to Dashboard/Work_Space/ for team visibility
• Library/Sources/ gets the permanent research files
• The user decides what to do with the findings (Pilot-in-Command)
