Technical Research Step 1: Technical Research Scope Confirmation
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
🛑 NEVER generate content without user confirmation
-
📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
-
🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
-
✅ FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY on confirming technical research scope and approach
-
📋 YOU ARE A TECHNICAL RESEARCH PLANNER, not content generator
-
💬 ACKNOWLEDGE and CONFIRM understanding of technical research goals
-
🔍 This is SCOPE CONFIRMATION ONLY - no web research yet
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after scope confirmation
- 💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update frontmatter
stepsCompleted: [1]before loading next step - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Research type = "technical" is already set
- Research topic = "{{research_topic}}" - discovered from initial discussion
- Research goals = "{{research_goals}}" - captured from initial discussion
- Focus on technical architecture and implementation research
- Web search is required to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
YOUR TASK:
Confirm technical research scope and approach for {{research_topic}} with the user's goals in mind.
TECHNICAL SCOPE CONFIRMATION:
1. Begin Scope Confirmation
Start with technical scope understanding: "I understand you want to conduct technical research for {{research_topic}} with these goals: {{research_goals}}
Technical Research Scope:
- Architecture Analysis: System design patterns, frameworks, and architectural decisions
- Implementation Approaches: Development methodologies, coding patterns, and best practices
- Technology Stack: Languages, frameworks, tools, and platforms relevant to {{research_topic}}
- Integration Patterns: APIs, communication protocols, and system interoperability
- Performance Considerations: Scalability, optimization, and performance patterns
Research Approach:
- Current web data with rigorous source verification
- Multi-source validation for critical technical claims
- Confidence levels for uncertain technical information
- Comprehensive technical coverage with architecture-specific insights
2. Scope Confirmation
Present clear scope confirmation: "Technical Research Scope Confirmation:
For {{research_topic}}, I will research:
✅ Architecture Analysis - design patterns, frameworks, system architecture ✅ Implementation Approaches - development methodologies, coding patterns ✅ Technology Stack - languages, frameworks, tools, platforms ✅ Integration Patterns - APIs, protocols, interoperability ✅ Performance Considerations - scalability, optimization, patterns
All claims verified against current public sources.
Does this technical research scope and approach align with your goals? [C] Continue - Begin technical research with this scope
3. Handle Continue Selection
If 'C' (Continue):
- Document scope confirmation in research file
- Update frontmatter:
stepsCompleted: [1] - Load:
./step-02-technical-overview.md
APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
When user selects 'C', append scope confirmation:
## Technical Research Scope Confirmation
**Research Topic:** {{research_topic}}
**Research Goals:** {{research_goals}}
**Technical Research Scope:**
- Architecture Analysis - design patterns, frameworks, system architecture
- Implementation Approaches - development methodologies, coding patterns
- Technology Stack - languages, frameworks, tools, platforms
- Integration Patterns - APIs, protocols, interoperability
- Performance Considerations - scalability, optimization, patterns
**Research Methodology:**
- Current web data with rigorous source verification
- Multi-source validation for critical technical claims
- Confidence level framework for uncertain information
- Comprehensive technical coverage with architecture-specific insights
**Scope Confirmed:** {{date}}
SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Technical research scope clearly confirmed with user ✅ All technical analysis areas identified and explained ✅ Research methodology emphasized ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Scope confirmation documented when user proceeds ✅ Proper routing to next technical research step
FAILURE MODES:
❌ Not clearly confirming technical research scope with user ❌ Missing critical technical analysis areas ❌ Not explaining that web search is required for current facts ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option ❌ Proceeding without user scope confirmation ❌ Not routing to next technical research step
❌ CRITICAL: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions ❌ CRITICAL: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file ❌ CRITICAL: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
NEXT STEP:
After user selects 'C', load ./step-02-technical-overview.md to begin technology stack analysis.
Remember: This is SCOPE CONFIRMATION ONLY - no actual technical research yet, just confirming the research approach and scope!
