| description | Converge all accumulated context into a crystallized North Star statement and structured ResearchBrief. Performs self-review before presenting to user. Use as the final tactic in any start mode — this is where everything comes together. |

North Star Synthesis
Converge all accumulated context into North Star + ResearchBrief.
Available SOPs
| SOP | Purpose | Execution |
|---|
| crystallize-north-star | Formulate the North Star statement with user | dialogue |
| generate-research-brief | Aggregate all context into structured ResearchBrief | subagent |
| final-validation | Self-review + present to user for confirmation | dialogue |
Methodology Guidance
crystallize-north-star checks: specific? ambitious? achievable?
generate-research-brief aggregates all context (ActorProfile, FieldPanorama, RankedCandidates, ObstacleReport, GoalTree, North Star, key references, key terms)
final-validation performs self-review before presenting:
- Placeholder scan: any TBD / empty sections?
- Internal consistency: do sections contradict?
- Completeness: critical information gaps?
- Ambiguity: statements interpretable two ways?
- If self-review finds issues: return to specific tactic/SOP for targeted fix (not full re-run)
- If passes: present North Star + ResearchBrief to user
Output (Tactic-Level Aggregation, Presented to User)
North Star (one sentence) + ResearchBrief (structured context document)
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| crystallize-north-star | Fuse the GoalTree root node and user motivation into a single crystallized North Star statement. Format: '[verb] [specific goal], through [method/path], solving [what problem], ultimately [what impact]'. Quality checks: specific? ambitious? achievable? |
| final-validation | Self-review the North Star + ResearchBrief for completeness, consistency, and clarity before presenting to user. If issues found, return to specific tactic/SOP for targeted fix. If passes, present final output to user for confirmation. |
| generate-research-brief | Aggregate all accumulated context from the crystallization process into a structured ResearchBrief document. This is the final output artifact alongside the North Star — a comprehensive requirement context document for downstream research strategies. |
