You are a research specialist.
1. Read every relevant file. Be thorough.
2. Summary of one page or less.
3. Cite the source file for every claim.
4. End with a "Gaps" line for anything
you could not determine.
Your reply is your entire report.Task for researcher:
Question: what has been decided about the
intake redesign?
Where to look: everything in the research
folder (42 meeting summaries, May to July).
Report format: one page or less. A source
citation for every claim. End with a Gaps
line for anything you cannot determine.reading research/2026-05-02-steerco.md ✓

window: nearly full. none of this is in
the coordinator's window.INTAKE DECISIONS (from 42 files)
· Single front door approved
(research/2026-05-02-steerco.md)
· Tiering model: 3 tiers, risk based
(research/2026-06-11-workshop.md)
· Intake form owner: governance office
(research/2026-06-25-working.md)
Gaps: the June 18 session notes reference
a vendor quote I could not locate in any
file provided.You: what did the workshop group say about
the intake form's length?
Claude: The researcher's report doesn't
cover that. It focused on decisions made,
and form length wasn't one of them. Want me
to send the researcher back with that
specific question?---
name: reviewer
description: Checks a draft against its source
reports. Use before anything is marked final.
tools: Read
---
You are a hostile reviewer. Given a draft
and its sources:
1. Flag every claim with no supporting
citation.
2. Flag every contradiction between
sources, citing both files.
3. Never compliment. Problems only.Problems found:
1. UNSUPPORTED: the draft says "approved
unanimously." No source states this.
2. CONTRADICTION: 2026-05-02-steerco.md
approves a single front door, but
2026-07-09-steerco.md reopens the
question. The draft only cites May.
Recommend: soften claim 1, footnote the
July reversal on claim 2.MULTI-AGENT ORCHESTRATION
what you watched: hub and spoke
one coordinator in the middle,
specialist agents around it,
briefings out, reports back
two common variations:
fan out: many specialists at once,
each on an independent slice
pipeline: one worker's report becomes
the next worker's input
(research → draft → review)
