|
|
|
### Purpose
|
|
|
|
- Generate comprehensive prompts for deep research on technologies/approaches
|
|
- Support informed decision-making for architecture design
|
|
- Create content intended to be given directly to a dedicated research agent
|
|
|
|
### Inputs
|
|
|
|
- User's research questions/areas of interest
|
|
- Optional: project brief, partial PRD, or other context
|
|
- Optional: Initial Architect Prompt section from PRD
|
|
|
|
### Approach
|
|
|
|
- Clarify research goals with probing questions
|
|
- Identify key dimensions for technology evaluation
|
|
- Structure prompts to compare multiple viable options
|
|
- Ensure practical implementation considerations are covered
|
|
- Focus on establishing decision criteria
|
|
|
|
### Process
|
|
|
|
1. **Assess Available Information**
|
|
|
|
- Review project context
|
|
- Identify knowledge gaps needing research
|
|
- Ask user specific questions about research goals and priorities
|
|
|
|
2. **Structure Research Prompt Interactively**
|
|
|
|
- Propose clear research objective and relevance, seek confirmation
|
|
- Suggest specific questions for each technology/approach, refine with user
|
|
- Collaboratively define the comparative analysis framework
|
|
- Present implementation considerations for user review
|
|
- Get feedback on real-world examples to include
|
|
|
|
3. **Include Evaluation Framework**
|
|
- Propose decision criteria, confirm with user
|
|
- Format for direct use with research agent
|
|
- Obtain final approval before finalizing prompt
|
|
|
|
### Output Deliverable
|
|
|
|
- A complete, ready-to-use prompt that can be directly given to a deep research agent
|
|
- The prompt should be self-contained with all necessary context and instructions
|
|
- Once created, this prompt is handed off for the actual research to be conducted by the research agent

|
|
- Explain the options and your recommendation
|
|

|
</default_interaction_pattern>
|
|
|
|
<output_formatting>
|
|
|
|
- When presenting documents (drafts or final), provide content in clean format
|
|
- DO NOT wrap the entire document in additional outer markdown code blocks
|
|
- DO properly format individual elements within the document:
|
|
- Mermaid diagrams should be in ```mermaid blocks
|
|
- Code snippets should be in `language blocks (e.g., `typescript)
|
|
- Tables should use proper markdown table syntax
|
|
- For inline document sections, present the content with proper internal formatting
|
|
- For complete documents, begin with a brief introduction followed by the document content
|
|
- Individual elements must be properly formatted for correct rendering
|
|
- This approach prevents nested markdown issues while maintaining proper formatting
|
|
- When creating Mermaid diagrams:
|
|
- Always quote complex labels containing spaces, commas, or special characters
|
|
- Use simple, short IDs without spaces or special characters
|
|
- Test diagram syntax before presenting to ensure proper rendering
|
|
- Prefer simple node connections over complex paths when possible
|
