SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill coordinates and manages complex, multi-phase research workflows by orchestrating multiple specialized agents to work in concert, improving efficiency and consistency in scholarly tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrated multi-phase workflows: Synchronize Discovery, Acquisition, Analysis, and Synthesis phases across parallel agents.
  • Flexible delegation patterns: Utilize parallel async tasks where possible and sequential steps when results are interdependent.
  • Progress tracking and synthesis: Maintain a structured workflow_state with phase, status, durations, and a synthesized final report.
  • Use Case: A literature review requiring simultaneous discovery from multiple sources, PDF preparation, and citation analysis, followed by a comprehensive synthesis.

Quick Start

Activate Research Workflow Coordination to begin a mediated literature review. The orchestrator will initiate parallel discovery tasks, coordinate subsequent downloads and analyses, and finally synthesize findings into a report, all with progress updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple research agents to work on different phases of a literature review simultaneously?

Research Workflow Coordination orchestrates parallel and sequential specialist agents across Discovery, Acquisition, Analysis, and Synthesis phases. It manages async delegation, tracks workflow state, and synthesizes results into a comprehensive report, eliminating manual coordination overhead.

Can I run discovery and PDF preparation tasks in parallel during a research workflow?

Yes. The Skill implements flexible delegation patterns that execute parallel async tasks where possible and sequential steps when results are interdependent, allowing simultaneous discovery from multiple sources and document preparation.

What's the best way to synthesize findings from multiple research sources into a single report?

Research Workflow Coordination maintains structured workflow state across phases, collects outputs from parallel agents, and applies result synthesis logic to deliver a ready-to-use final report combining all discovered and analyzed information.

How do I track progress across complex multi-phase research tasks with multiple agents?

The Skill maintains explicit workflow state management tracking phase, status, and durations throughout the research process, providing visibility into each stage and agent contribution to the overall workflow.

When should I use agent orchestration instead of running research tasks sequentially?

Use orchestration when research tasks have independent discovery requirements or parallel processing opportunities. It improves efficiency for literature reviews requiring simultaneous source discovery, citation analysis, and content preparation before synthesis.
