Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Understand the Goal

步骤1:理解目标

Ask 1-2 quick clarifying questions:
  • "What's your goal — learning, making a decision, or writing something?"
  • "Any specific angle or depth you want?"
If the user says "just research it" — skip ahead with reasonable defaults.
提出1-2个快速澄清问题:
  • "你的目标是什么——学习知识、制定决策还是撰写内容?"
  • "是否有特定的研究角度或深度要求?"
如果用户表示"直接研究即可",则按合理默认设置继续。

Step 2: Plan the Research

步骤2:规划研究

Break the topic into 3-5 research sub-questions. Example:
  • Topic: "Impact of AI on healthcare"
    • What are the main AI applications in healthcare today?
    • What clinical outcomes have been measured?
    • What are the regulatory challenges?
    • What companies are leading this space?
    • What's the market size and growth trajectory?
将主题拆解为3-5个研究子问题。示例:
  • 主题:"AI对医疗保健的影响"
    • 当前医疗保健领域的主要AI应用有哪些?
    • 已测得哪些临床效果?
    • 面临哪些监管挑战?
    • 该领域的领先企业有哪些?
    • 市场规模和增长趋势如何?

Step 3: Execute Multi-Source Search

步骤3:执行多源搜索

For EACH sub-question, search using available MCP tools:
With firecrawl:
firecrawl_search(query: "<sub-question keywords>", limit: 8)
With exa:
web_search_exa(query: "<sub-question keywords>", numResults: 8)
web_search_advanced_exa(query: "<keywords>", numResults: 5, startPublishedDate: "2025-01-01")
Search strategy:
  • Use 2-3 different keyword variations per sub-question
  • Mix general and news-focused queries
  • Aim for 15-30 unique sources total
  • Prioritize: academic, official, reputable news > blogs > forums
针对每个子问题,使用可用的MCP工具进行搜索:
使用firecrawl时:
firecrawl_search(query: "<子问题关键词>", limit: 8)
使用exa时:
web_search_exa(query: "<子问题关键词>", numResults: 8)
web_search_advanced_exa(query: "<关键词>", numResults: 5, startPublishedDate: "2025-01-01")
搜索策略:
  • 每个子问题使用2-3种不同的关键词变体
  • 混合使用通用查询和新闻类查询
  • 目标获取15-30个独特来源
  • 优先级:学术来源、官方来源、权威新闻 > 博客 > 论坛

Step 4: Deep-Read Key Sources

步骤4:深度阅读关键来源

For the most promising URLs, fetch full content:
With firecrawl:
firecrawl_scrape(url: "<url>")
With exa:
crawling_exa(url: "<url>", tokensNum: 5000)
Read 3-5 key sources in full for depth. Do not rely only on search snippets.
针对最具价值的URL,获取完整内容:
使用firecrawl时:
firecrawl_scrape(url: "<url>")
使用exa时:
crawling_exa(url: "<url>", tokensNum: 5000)
深度阅读3-5个关键来源,不要仅依赖搜索摘要。

Step 5: Synthesize and Write Report

步骤5:整合并撰写报告

Structure the report:
markdown
undefined
报告结构如下:
markdown
undefined

[主题]:研究报告

Generated: [date] | Sources: [N] | Confidence: [High/Medium/Low]
生成日期:[日期] | 来源数量:[N] | 可信度:[高/中/低]

  • 短主题:在聊天中发布完整报告
  • 长篇报告:发布执行摘要+关键要点,并将完整报告保存为文件

Parallel Research with Subagents

借助子Agent进行并行研究

For broad topics, use Claude Code's Task tool to parallelize:
Launch 3 research agents in parallel:
1. Agent 1: Research sub-questions 1-2
2. Agent 2: Research sub-questions 3-4
3. Agent 3: Research sub-question 5 + cross-cutting themes
Each agent searches, reads sources, and returns findings. The main session synthesizes into the final report.
针对宽泛主题,使用Claude Code的Task工具实现并行处理:
并行启动3个研究Agent:
1. Agent 1:研究子问题1-2
2. Agent 2:研究子问题3-4
3. Agent 3:研究子问题5 + 跨领域主题
每个Agent负责搜索、阅读来源并返回研究结果,主会话将结果整合成最终报告。

Quality Rules

质量规则

  1. Every claim needs a source. No unsourced assertions.
  2. Cross-reference. If only one source says it, flag it as unverified.
  3. Recency matters. Prefer sources from the last 12 months.
  4. Acknowledge gaps. If you couldn't find good info on a sub-question, say so.
  5. No hallucination. If you don't know, say "insufficient data found."
  6. Separate fact from inference. Label estimates, projections, and opinions clearly.
  1. 所有主张都需有来源支撑,不得存在无来源的断言。
  2. 交叉验证:若仅单个来源提及某内容,需标记为未验证。
  3. 时效性重要:优先选择过去12个月内的来源。
  4. 承认信息缺口:若无法找到某子问题的优质信息,需如实说明。
  5. 不得虚构内容:若不知情,需说明"未找到足够数据"。
  6. 区分事实与推论:清晰标注估算、预测和观点内容。
