STORM Engine

Internal knowledge for the STORM plugin. Encodes the methodology ported from Stanford STORM (NAACL'24 / EMNLP'24) into a Claude-native pipeline. Loaded automatically by every /storm:* skill.

CRITICAL: Two-Stage Pipeline

The pipeline has two stages and four phases. Each phase is independently runnable and resumable — completed phases are loaded from the artifact directory, never re-run.

Stage 1 (Pre-writing)        Stage 2 (Writing)
  research  --------->  outline  --------->  write  --------->  polish
   (persona               (draft +            (per-section,        (summary +
    discovery,            refine from         cited, parallel)     dedup)
    simulated Q&A,        research)
    information table)

NEVER skip stage 1. An article generated from parametric memory alone is not a STORM article — it will hallucinate citations and miss the multi-perspective grounding that defines the method. If research/ is absent, run /storm:research first.
