Research Confluence
When to Use
During the Research phase of DEEP/ULTRADEEP workflows, or whenever existing documentation might inform the current task.
Workflow
- Build CQL queries from the task description and known keywords
- Search across relevant spaces for matching pages
- Retrieve full content of the most relevant pages
- Summarize findings with page links as citations
Search Strategy
- Exact title match — search for the feature/component name
- Keyword search — extract key terms and search page body content
- Label search — search by relevant labels (architecture, design, RFC, ADR)
- Space-scoped search — limit to engineering/project spaces
Output Format

### Relevant Pages Found: {count}
#### [Page Title](confluence-url)
- **Space:** {space_key}
- **Last Updated:** {date} by {author}
- **Relevance:** {why this page matters}
- **Key Content:** {summary of relevant sections}
