evidence-research

Advancedworkflow

Mission

Gather → compare → synthesize → frame. Every research output ends with a structured recommendation.

When to Use

Use when gathering information from multiple sources, comparing tools or approaches, synthesizing evidence into a structured summary, framing a recommendation with clear rationale, or answering questions that require surveying a landscape before deciding.

Triggers: “research this”, “compare these options”, “what should we use”, “gather evidence”, “synthesize findings”, “recommendation on”

Skills Invoked

Pattern 5 — Free Triple Parallel + Single Strong Synthesis:

• synth-research (×3 free lanes, parallel) — broad, thorough, alt-framing
• synth-engine (Claude Sonnet 4.6) — unified synthesis
• synth-recommendation — final decision recommendation
• synth-comparative — structured comparison table

Chain-To

• strategy-plan — feed research into planning
• system-design — feed research into architecture decisions
• enterprise-strategy — feed research into transformation planning
• physics-analysis — escalate to physics-inspired analysis

Example

{
  "request": "Compare Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWS SQS for our event-driven microservices architecture"
}

Output: Structured comparison table across 8 dimensions, synthesis of trade-offs, and a recommendation with rationale.
