Never synthesize without reading sources. Every claim in the final report must trace to a source retrieved during Phase 2.
Phase 1: Scope — Restate as one research question. Define 3–5 sub-questions, success criteria, constraints, and non-goals. Cannot proceed without a written scope block.
Phase 2: Multi-Source Search — Run 3+ WebSearch queries. WebFetch each source URL. pnpm search:code for prior-art. Maintain evidence log: URL, claim, confidence (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW), sub-question. Each sub-question needs ≥2 independent sources.
Phase 3: Synthesis — Group evidence by sub-question. CONSENSUS (2+ sources) → HIGH; CONFLICT → LOW, flag for user. Build synthesis matrix. Label unsupported claims [UNVERIFIED].
Phase 4: Validation
Phase 5: Report — Save to .claude/context/reports/backend/<topic>-research-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md with sections: Executive Summary, Findings (finding + confidence + evidence per sub-question), Conflicts, Recommended Actions, Knowledge Gaps, Sources.

tools
Comprehensive biosignal processing toolkit for analyzing physiological data including ECG, EEG, EDA, RSP, PPG, EMG, and EOG signals. Use this skill when processing cardiovascular signals, brain activity, electrodermal responses, respiratory patterns, muscle activity, or eye movements. Applicable for heart rate variability analysis, event-related potentials, complexity measures, autonomic nervous system assessment, psychophysiology research, and multi-modal physiological signal integration.
tools
Comprehensive toolkit for creating, analyzing, and visualizing complex networks and graphs in Python. Use when working with network/graph data structures, analyzing relationships between entities, computing graph algorithms (shortest paths, centrality, clustering), detecting communities, generating synthetic networks, or visualizing network topologies. Applicable to social networks, biological networks, transportation systems, citation networks, and any domain involving pairwise relationships.
data-ai
Molecular featurization for ML (100+ featurizers). ECFP, MACCS, descriptors, pretrained models (ChemBERTa), convert SMILES to features, for QSAR and molecular ML.
development
Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
