# Research Engine
Activates when user requests deep research, investigation, or analysis of a topic that will produce multiple structured documents.
## Pipeline
```
TOPIC → DECOMPOSE → PARALLEL RESEARCH → AGGREGATE → STRUCTURE → BUILD → PUBLISH
```
### Stage 1: Decompose
Break the research topic into 4-12 investigation tracks. Each track becomes one document.
### Stage 2: Parallel Research
Launch research agents (2-6 in parallel) with specific investigation briefs. Use `run_in_background: true` for independence.
### Stage 3: Aggregate
Collect findings. Check for contradictions. Identify cross-references.
### Stage 4: Structure
Organize into a numbered document series with:
- Index page (index.html)
- Individual research documents (research/NN-slug.md)
- Knowledge graph (knowledge-nodes.json)
- Retrospective (retrospective.md)
### Stage 5: Build
Convert markdown to HTML and PDF using pandoc + xelatex:
```bash
bash build.sh # Uses template.tex and html-template.html
```
### Stage 6: Publish
Commit, tag, merge to main, push, create GitHub release, FTP sync to tibsfox.com.
## Quality Standards
- Minimum 1,500 words per document
- Every claim needs evidence or explicit reasoning
- Cross-references between documents
- Fact-check pass before final publish
- Three output formats: markdown (source), HTML (reading), PDF (sharing)
## Project Codes
Each research project gets a 3-4 letter code added to series.js:
- HEL (Helium Supply Chain)
- OOPS (Ecosystem Alignment)
- OPE
