daily-research-brief

A 2-stage pipeline for "give me a researched take on X by tomorrow morning." Researcher pulls sources, writer synthesizes. Ships as a single markdown file the user can paste into Slack/Telegram/their docs.

Phase 1 status: pre-installed but inactive (template_kind loader is Phase 2 work).

Stages

Stage 1 — Research

<!-- AGENT_ACTIONS_1: { "step_key": "research", "assignee_default": "researcher", "skills": ["board-worker", "web-research", "memory-search"], "workspace": "scratch", "required_artifacts": { "metadata.sources_count": "[5-9]|[1-9][0-9]+", "metadata.findings_doc_path": "\\.md$" }, "on_success": "synthesize", "on_failure": "research", "max_runtime_seconds": 2400, "max_retries": 1, "budget_usd_cap": 3.00 } -->

Researcher gathers ≥5 sources (web + memory), writes them up in a findings markdown file with sentiment + relevance scoring. The dispatcher validates source count + file path before advancing.

Stage 2 — Synthesize

<!-- AGENT_ACTIONS_2: { "step_key": "synthesize", "assignee_default": "writer", "skills": ["board-worker", "brief-writer"], "workspace": "scratch", "required_artifacts": { "metadata.brief_path": "\\.md$", "metadata.word_count": "(3[5-9][0-9]|4[0-9][0-9]|5[0-9][0-9])" }, "on_success": null, "on_failure": "synthesize", "max_runtime_seconds": 1200, "max_retries": 1, "budget_usd_cap": 1.50 } -->

Writer reads the researcher's findings doc + writes a 350-599 word brief (regex enforces the band). Output: a markdown file. Pipeline complete.

Total budget cap (recommendation)

~$4.50 per brief. Cheap by design — the goal is "I can run this 5x/week without thinking about cost."

When to use this template vs not

✓ Use it when you want a researched take on a single topic, ≤500 words, by tomorrow.

✗ Skip it when:

  • You need ≥1000 words → split into multiple research-brief runs + a synthesis task
  • You need code or numerical analysis → use ship-a-feature or create a custom pipeline
  • You need real-time updates → this is for end-of-day briefs, not live monitoring
