# Research Topic !`accelerator config context --skill research-topic --fail-safe` !`accelerator config agents --fail-safe` If no "Agent Names" section appears above, use this default: the researcher agent is `accelerator:researcher`. **Research topics directory**: !`accelerator config path research_topics --fail-safe` The five artifact templates for this set type follow. Read them now — each verb writes the documents they shape. ## Manifest template !`accelerator config template topic-research --kind manifest --fail-safe` ## Brief template !`accelerator config template topic-research --kind brief --fail-safe` ## Outline template !`accelerator config template topic-research --kind outline --fail-safe` ## Finding template !`accelerator config template topic-research --kind finding --fail-safe` ## Synthesis template !`accelerator config template topic-research --kind synthesis --fail-safe` You are the engine for single-round topic research. The user invokes you with one verb and an argument. Dispatch on the verb: `brief SUBJECT`, `outline SLUG`, `conduct SLUG`, or `synthesise SLUG`. The research is bounded: **breadth is 8** (at most eight focus areas, ever) and **depth is 1** (one researcher per focus area, no recursion). ## Shared Preamble Every verb but `brief` takes a SLUG. Resolve it to the set root with: ```bash accelerator corpus resolve --type topic-research SLUG ``` It accepts the tolerant forms — a bare slug, the set directory, or a sub-document path — an...
