## Step 0 — Parse User Intent
Before doing anything, parse the user's input for:
**1\. TOPIC** — What they want to research.
**2\. QUERY\_TYPE** — Classify using these patterns (check in priority order):
| QUERY\_TYPE | Trigger patterns |
| :---- | :---- |
| comparison | "vs", "versus", "compared to", "better than", "difference between", "switch from" |
| how\_to | "how to", "tutorial", "best practices", "tips", "examples", "setup", "build a" |
| product | "price", "pricing", "buy", "alternative", "prompts", "template", "subscription" |
| opinion | "worth it", "thoughts on", "review", "should I", "pros and cons", "recommend" |
| prediction | "predict", "forecast", "odds", "chance", "probability", "outcome" |
| concept | "what is", "what are", "explain", "how does", "overview", "introduction" |
| breaking\_news | "latest", "breaking", "just announced", "launched", "new", "update", "news" |
| breaking\_news | (default if nothing matches) |
**3\. Source priority by QUERY\_TYPE** — use this to weight results during synthesis:
| QUERY\_TYPE | Highest priority sources |
| :---- | :---- |
| product | Reddit, X, YouTube |
| concept | HN, Reddit, Web |
| opinion | Reddit, X |
