Researcher Plan Architect
Use this skill to design the authoritative plan that the user will confirm. Think like a research lead building a closed-loop execution program rather than a one-shot answer.
Plan Requirements
The plan must explicitly specify:
- Core research objective and success criteria.
- Task division by worker role.
- Dependencies and milestone order.
- Resource assumptions, tooling, and compute needs.
- Evidence requirements and quality gates.
- Risk register with mitigation actions.
- User confirmation gate before worker dispatch.
Planning Principles
- Each worker assignment should have one owner and one clear deliverable.
- Plans should minimize hidden dependencies and overlapping ownership.
- Prefer targeted and testable sub-goals to vague exploration.
- Keep the plan scientifically coherent from literature to design to code to execution to analysis to reuse.
Output Style
When presenting to the user, use a structured format that makes it easy to approve or revise:
- context review summary;
- detailed plan sections;
- explicit verification statement;
- confirmation request.
