  • #972 — [GOVERNING] Replacing Claude — Autonomous Research Pipeline Spec

Objective

Crystallize the structured query patterns that make Claude's research effective into reusable markdown templates with slot-fill placeholders. This is prompt engineering as a durable artifact.

Scope

Create 6 template files under skills/research/:

  1. tool_evaluation.md — "Find all shipping tools for {domain}"
  2. architecture_spike.md — "How to connect {system_a} to {system_b}"
  3. game_analysis.md — "Evaluate {game} for AI agent play"
  4. integration_guide.md — "Wire {tool} into {stack} with code"
  5. state_of_art.md — "What exists in {field} as of {date}"
  6. competitive_scan.md — "How does {project} compare to {alternatives}"

Each template has:

  • YAML frontmatter: name, type, typical query count, expected output length, cascade_tier hint
  • Body with {slot} placeholders
  • Clear output format constraints (tables, headers, structured markdown)

Key Design Notes

  • Templates are what transform a vague question into a structured research query
  • The cascade_tier hint tells the orchestrator which LLM tier to use (groq_preferred, local_ok, etc.)
  • Timmy fills slots from Gitea issue description or chat message
  • These should be reviewed by rockachopa before finalizing

Effort Estimate

4 hours

Acceptance Criteria

  • 6 template files exist under skills/research/
  • Each has valid YAML frontmatter with cascade_tier
  • Each has {slot} placeholders in the body
  • Templates produce well-structured prompts when filled
