Research workflow orchestration routes general prompts to the most specific workflow, coordinating topic bootstrap, literature search, citation tracing, gap analysis, evidence gating, drafting, verification, and provenance review. It uses frontmatter-based discovery and explicit routing rules to manage the entire process.

Research workflow routing directs user requests to the appropriate research workflow based on the topic and task. It applies safe defaults and fallbacks when specific tools are unavailable, ensuring continuous progression across stage-gated research tasks like claim extraction and mapping.

Persistent state and provenance are maintained through typed primitives and stage-gated progression. This ensures auditability and continuity across dependency-ordered research stages, from initial topic bootstrap to final paper verification and provenance review.

Research orchestration supports dependency ordering and safe fallbacks when specific tools are unavailable. It applies safe defaults during workflow routing to ensure that literature search, mapping, and citation tracing tasks can proceed without interruption.

Claim extraction and gap analysis are executed by routing general prompts to specialized research workflows. The orchestration harness coordinates these tasks alongside literature search and evidence gating to identify research gaps and extract verifiable claims systematically.
