/storm:generate

End-to-end STORM article generation. Runs all four phases in sequence, skipping any phase whose artifact already exists (unless --force).

CRITICAL: Load Engine First

Load the storm-engine skill via the Skill tool before doing anything else. It defines the artifact layout, stage-gating contract, citation hygiene, and retrieval fallback that this orchestration depends on. Do not improvise these.

Arguments

• <topic> (required) — the subject of the article.
• --max-perspective N (default 3) — number of personas to discover.
• --max-turns N (default 3) — max Q&A turns per persona.
• --output-dir PATH — explicit output location. Mutually exclusive with --save.
• --save — persist to docs/storm/<slug>/ instead of a temp dir.
• --docs DIR — ground on local documents in addition to (or, with --docs-only, instead of) the web.
• --force — re-run all phases even if artifacts exist.
• --retriever mcp|web|local — override retrieval source (default: mcp with fallback).
