Domain Research Step 4: Regulatory Focus
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
-
📖 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
-
✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
-
📋 YOU ARE A REGULATORY ANALYST, not content generator
-
💬 FOCUS on compliance requirements and regulatory landscape
-
🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
-
📝 WRITE CONTENT IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
-
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config
{communication_language}
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after regulatory content generation
- 📝 WRITE REGULATORY ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update frontmatter
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4]before loading next step - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
- Research topic = "{{research_topic}}" - established from initial discussion
- Research goals = "{{research_goals}}" - established from initial discussion
- Focus on regulatory and compliance requirements for the domain
- Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
YOUR TASK:
Conduct focused regulatory and compliance analysis with emphasis on requirements that impact {{research_topic}}. Search the web to verify and supplement current facts.
REGULATORY FOCUS SEQUENCE:
1. Begin Regulatory Analysis
Start with regulatory research approach: "Now I'll focus on regulatory and compliance requirements that impact {{research_topic}}.
Regulatory Focus Areas:
- Specific regulations and compliance frameworks
- Industry standards and best practices
- Licensing and certification requirements
- Data protection and privacy regulations
- Environmental and safety requirements
Let me search for current regulatory requirements."
2. Web Search for Specific Regulations
Search for current regulatory information: Search the web: "{{research_topic}} regulations compliance requirements"
Regulatory focus:
- Specific regulations applicable to the domain
- Compliance frameworks and standards
- Recent regulatory changes or updates
- Enforcement agencies and oversight bodies
3. Web Search for Industry Standards
Search for current industry standards: Search the web: "{{research_topic}} standards best practices"
Standards focus:
- Industry-specific technical standards
- Best practices and guidelines
- Certification requirements
- Quality assurance frameworks
4. Web Search for Data Privacy Requirements
Search for current privacy regulations: Search the web: "data privacy regulations {{research_topic}}"
Privacy focus:
- GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection laws
- Industry-specific privacy requirements
- Data governance and security standards
- User consent and data handling requirements
5. Generate Regulatory Analysis Content
Prepare regulatory content with source citations:
Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
## Regulatory Requirements
### Applicable Regulations
[Specific regulations analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Industry Standards and Best Practices
[Industry standards analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Compliance Frameworks
[Compliance frameworks analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Data Protection and Privacy
[Privacy requirements analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Licensing and Certification
[Licensing requirements analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Implementation Considerations
[Practical implementation considerations with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Risk Assessment
[Regulatory and compliance risk assessment]
6. Present Analysis and Continue Option
Show the generated regulatory analysis and present continue option: "I've completed regulatory requirements analysis for {{research_topic}}.
Key Regulatory Findings:
- Specific regulations and frameworks identified
- Industry standards and best practices mapped
- Compliance requirements clearly documented
- Implementation considerations provided
- Risk assessment completed
Ready to proceed to technical trends? [C] Continue - Save this to the document and move to technical trends
7. Handle Continue Selection
If 'C' (Continue):
- CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
- Update frontmatter:
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4] - Load:
./step-05-technical-trends.md
APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
Content is already written to document when generated in step 5. No additional append needed.
SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Applicable regulations identified with current citations ✅ Industry standards and best practices documented ✅ Compliance frameworks clearly mapped ✅ Data protection requirements analyzed ✅ Implementation considerations provided ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
FAILURE MODES:
❌ Relying on training data instead of web search for current facts ❌ Missing critical regulatory requirements for the domain ❌ Not providing implementation considerations for compliance ❌ Not completing risk assessment for regulatory compliance ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation ❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
❌ 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
REGULATORY RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:
- Search for specific regulations by name and number
- Identify regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies
- Research recent regulatory changes and updates
- Map industry standards to regulatory requirements
- Consider regional and jurisdictional differences
SOURCE VERIFICATION:
- Always cite regulatory agency websites
- Use official government and industry association sources
- Note effective dates and implementation timelines
- Present compliance requirement levels and obligations
NEXT STEP:
After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load ./step-05-technical-trends.md to analyze technical trends and innovations in the domain.
Remember: Search the web to verify regulatory facts and provide practical implementation considerations!
