# ASK Research Answer bounded questions with evidence, not recollection. This is fact-finding, not a design decision, code audit, or implementation pass. ## Flow 1. State question, decision it informs, scope, constraints, and unknowns. 2. Inspect local evidence before external sources when repository state matters: code, tests, fixtures, logs, history, and configuration. 3. Discover primary sources, then read relevant sections rather than relying on search snippets. 4. Compare evidence, distinguish `FACT`, `OBSERVATION`, `INFERENCE`, `HYPOTHESIS`, `ASSUMPTION`, and `UNKNOWN`. 5. Answer with citations, confidence, decision impact, and exact evidence still needed. ## Rules - Prefer runtime evidence, reproducible tests, source code, official documentation, and standards over secondary sources. - Cite external claims with stable URLs; cite local claims as `path:line` or a precise section. - Do not implement, settle product or architecture choices, or present an inference as fact. - Escalate to `deep-research` for multiple interacting unknowns, several source classes, conflicting evidence, historical/protocol analysis, or an exhaustive request. - Return `ASK_WORKFLOW_PASS phase=RESEARCH` only when the stated question is answered or remaining gaps are explicitly actionable. Use `ASK_WORKFLOW_BLOCKED phase=RESEARCH` when essential evidence is inaccessible. ## Output ```text Answer Evidence: source - observation Confidence: CONFIRMED | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW | SPECULATIVE | UNKNO
