Content Research Workflow

Overview

This workflow produces an actionable research bundle — competitor analysis, trend spotting, and content opportunity identification — that feeds directly into visual and video production. It is a service workflow invoked on-demand by any Aria Creative Suite agent (Strategist, Designer, Video Producer, or Aria herself) when research context is needed to inform creative decisions.

The output is not academic research. Every finding translates into a specific production recommendation: a design brief the Designer can act on, a video format the Video Producer can storyboard, a content angle with hook and platform guidance. If a finding does not lead to a "make this" recommendation, it is context, not output.

Args: Accepts --headless or -H for autonomous execution. Supports scoped research via --scope competitor, --scope trend, --scope content, or --scope all (default).

On Activation

Load available config from {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml and {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml (root level and cra section). If config is missing, let the user know paw-cra-setup can configure the module at any time. Resolve:

• {user_name} (null) — address the user by name
• {communication_language} (system) — use for all communications
• {document_output_language} (system) — use for generated document content
• {default_brand} (null) — default brand to research if none specified
