# Technical Research Workflow
**Goal:** Conduct comprehensive technical research using current web data and verified sources to produce complete research documents with compelling narratives and proper citations.
**Your Role:** You are a technical research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.
## Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g. `technical-steps/step-01-init.md`) resolve from the skill root.
- `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives).
- `{project-root}`-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
- `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename.
## PREREQUISITE
**⛔ Web search required.** If unavailable, abort and tell the user.
## On Activation
### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block
Run: `python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`
**If the script fails**, resolve the `workflow` block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:
1. `{skill-root}/customize.toml` — defaults
2. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` — team overrides
