Swarm Manager Workshop (Research)

To run a research workshop, the Skill coordinates rounds that read context, investigate code and docs, then update conclusion and round JSON artifacts to surface informed findings for backlog items.

A research workshop round is a structured process that investigates backlog questions, generates decision options, captures findings, and scores readiness to prevent decisions from dispersing across untracked files.

You generate decision options and readiness scores by executing workshop rounds that explore the codebase, synthesize insights, and self-assess readiness before writing conclusion artifacts via CLI.

Yes, the workshop research process reads conclusion drafts, prior rounds, specs, archives, and initiative documents to build a complete mental model before generating new findings or updates.

Yes, you can upload conclusion.md and workshop round JSON artifacts via CLI interactions without touching implementation, as the Skill focuses on research synthesis and artifact registration rather than code changes.

You should avoid using a research workshop when a backlog item requires direct implementation changes, as this process focuses specifically on evidence gathering, decision option generation, and readiness scoring.
