storm-research

A parallel replication of Stanford's STORM method (Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking; Shao et al., NAACL 2024, https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.14207, demo at https://storm.genie.stanford.edu). One agent cannot hold five conflicting epistemic positions at once, so this skill splits them into separate minds first and reconciles them second.

When to use

The user wants a rigorous, multi-source, self-critiqued briefing on a topic rather than a quick answer. Triggers: "research X deeply", "PhD-level research", "STORM", "give me a briefing with confidence scores", "what does the evidence actually say about X".

Inputs

• TOPIC (required): what to research. If it is vague, ask one or two narrowing questions first.
• ROLE (optional): who the actionable insight is for, such as "a product manager" or "a clinician". Defaults to "a decision-maker acting on this topic."
