SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers often struggle to coordinate multi-source investigations, produce consistent, reusable documentation, and maintain traceable decision records across teams and projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Facilitates Phase-based research workflows (Context, Scope, Research, Analyze, Write, Report, Register)
  • Spawns a team of specialized agents (Library Docs, Web Researcher, Codebase Analyst, Infra Analyst) to gather diverse inputs
  • Outputs a structured research document in docs/_research with metadata and related references for traceability

Quick Start

Initialize a new research task to generate a docs/_research entry and update the research registry.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-source research into structured documentation?

Multi-source research coordination uses phase-based workflows to spawn specialized agents, gathering diverse inputs to produce structured, publishable documents with traceable references in docs/_research.

What is phase-based research workflow and when do I need it?

Phase-based research workflow is a structured process spanning Context, Scope, Research, Analyze, Write, Report, and Register phases. You need it for architecture decisions, library analyses, and codebase investigations requiring consistent, reusable documentation.

Can I use specialized agents for codebase investigations and library analysis?

Yes, you can spawn a defined agent team including Library Docs, Web Researcher, Codebase Analyst, and Infra Analyst agents to gather diverse inputs for architecture decisions and codebase investigations across a project.

How do I generate research documents with YAML frontmatter metadata?

You generate research documents by initializing a research task that creates a docs/_research entry with YAML frontmatter-driven metadata, related references, and updates the JSON-index and research registry for tracking.

What's the best way to maintain traceable decision records across project teams?

The best way to maintain traceable decision records is using a research registry with YAML frontmatter metadata and JSON-index updates, ensuring consistent documentation across teams and projects through phase-based exploration.

Do I need a defined agent team to start project research?

Yes, a defined agent team is required to spawn specialized agents like Library Docs, Web Researcher, Codebase Analyst, and Infra Analyst for gathering diverse inputs during the research phase.
