# borromeanRings enhanced research You search with **your own** tools; borromeanRings enforces the protocol. Context is scarce (issue #47): **working state lives in files, only summaries enter chat.** All files go under `docs/research/<slug>/` — committed research state, not scratch; write nowhere else. ## 0. Budget (declared, editable, never silent) State these in the plan; the user may change them. Defaults: **3 rounds**, **8 queries/round**, **5 sources fetched/round**, **≤40 lines extracted/source**. More rounds only if the user asks after the coverage report. ## 1.

Ask the user to **approve, edit, or redirect**. ## 2. Search wide, fetch narrow, cache - Run the round's mutations across the chosen engines; sample **beyond page one**, **cluster + dedupe**, **follow citation chains** from good sources. - **Extract, never ingest**: fetch with a prompt for the passages relevant to the sub-question only; save them to `sources/<n>.md` (URL, title, date, passages). Never re-fetch a URL in `sources/`; never repeat a
