# ICP Research — Orchestrator
Foundational skill for all stacks. Coordinates sub-agents to build audience intelligence from real research, not assumptions. Capability metadata (route triggers, prerequisites, load map, artifact contract) lives in [`routing.yaml`](routing.yaml). Why this skill exists, creative-vs-structural framing, 7-gate quality summary: [`references/playbook.md`](references/playbook.md).
**Core question:** Who exactly are we talking to and what keeps them up at night?
## Critical Gates — load first
Non-negotiable before any agent dispatches:
1. **No guessed personas — VoC or interview evidence only.** Every attribute traces to product context, brief, user input, or VoC quotes. Fabricated personas mislead 13+ downstream skills.
2. **Don't skip habitat mapping.** IMC planning needs specific community names with density and engagement type. "They're on LinkedIn" is not actionable.
3. **Max 2 personas.** More dilutes focus. If 4+ segments surface, force-rank by revenue potential; document cuts in Segment Rationale.
4. **Stale product context (>30 days) → recommend re-run.** If `research/product-context.md` `Date` is older than 30 days, warn and recommend re-run. Proceeding → note "stale product context" in artifact header.
5. **≥5 independent sources per persona** ([`references/confidence-and-bias.md`](references/confidence-and-bias.md) § 3). Below 5 → `Hypothesis Mode` + `Confidence: L`; critic returns NEEDS_CONTEXT; voc-collector gathers more (or operator
