Research Document Command

Generate structured summaries and literature notes from acquired research papers.

Instructions

When invoked, create comprehensive documentation:

1. Load Paper

   • Verify REF-XXX exists in .aiwg/research/sources/
   • Load PDF and existing finding document
   • Load metadata from frontmatter

2. Extract Content

   • Parse PDF sections (abstract, introduction, methodology, results, conclusion)
   • Identify key findings, claims, and evidence
   • Extract figures, tables, and important quotes
   • Note limitations and future work

3. Analyze Relevance

   • Assess applicability to AIWG framework
   • Identify which components/agents could use these findings
   • Determine implementation priority
   • Map findings to existing use cases or requirements

4. Generate Documentation

   • Fill finding document template sections:
     • Executive Summary
     • Key Findings (with metrics)
     • Methodology
     • AIWG Relevance
     • Implementation Notes
     • References
   • Use domain-appropriate voice
   • Include specific metrics and quotes

5. Create Synthesis Notes

   • Generate literature note in .aiwg/research/literature-notes/REF-XXX-notes.md
   • Connect to related research (cross-references)
   • Identify gaps or contradictions with existing corpus
   • Suggest follow-up research questions

6. Update Index

   • Add to topic-based indices
   • Update cross-reference map
   • Flag for synthesis report inclusion

Arguments

• [ref-id] - REF-XXX identifier (required)
• --depth [brief|standard|comprehensive] - Documentation depth (default: standard)
• --focus [section] - Focus on specific section (methodology, results, implications)
• --update-only - Update existing documentation rather than regenerate
• --include-citations - Extract all citations from paper for potential acquisition

Depth Levels

Level	Content
brief	Executive summary + key findings only (~500 words)
standard	Full finding document with all sections (~1500 words)
comprehensive	Full document + literature notes + citation extraction (~3000 words)

Examples

# Standard documentation
/research-document REF-022

# Brief summary for quick review
/research-document REF-022 --depth brief

# Comprehensive with citation extraction
/research-document REF-022 --depth comprehensive --include-citations

# Update existing documentation
/research-document REF-022 --update-only

# Focus on methodology only
/research-document REF-022 --focus methodology

Documentation complete!

Finding: .aiwg/research/findings/REF-022-autogen.md (1,847 words)
Literature Note: .aiwg/research/literature-notes/REF-022-notes.md (623 words)

Next Steps:
1. /research-quality REF-022 - Assess evidence quality
2. /research-cite REF-022 - Generate citations
3. Review AIWG integration opportunities in UC-174, UC-183

Quality Checks

Documentation includes automatic quality checks:

• [ ] All key findings have metrics or specific claims
• [ ] AIWG relevance section is concrete (not generic)
• [ ] Implementation priority justified
• [ ] No invented citations or page references
• [ ] Quotes are exact with page numbers
• [ ] Limitations section populated
• [ ] Cross-references to related research included

Voice and Tone

Documentation follows AIWG voice guidelines:

• Technical Authority for methodology sections
• Analytical Precision for findings
• Pragmatic for implementation notes
• Balanced when noting limitations

Avoids:

• Marketing language ("revolutionary", "game-changing")
• Overconfident claims beyond evidence
• Generic summaries without specifics
