storm
Research a topic the way Stanford's STORM does its pre-writing: discover the perspectives that matter, ask grounded questions from each, and synthesize the answers into a cited briefing. The wedge is breadth of perspectives — what different lenses surface about a topic — not breadth of sources on a single question.
This is an agent-native port of the STORM mechanism, not Nav Toor's 4-prompt chat workflow. The agent already holds retrieval, so grounded is the default — there is no un-grounded mode.
Phase 0 — Boundary gate
Activate storm when the request wants sourced external knowledge across perspectives. Route away otherwise:
| Request shape | Skill |
|---|---|
| "Research X", "what's known about Y", "survey the evidence on Z", "grounded briefing on…" | storm |
An upstream skill (e.g. team-composer) needs sourced knowledge it can't reason to |
storm (hand-off) |
| Single-source-of-truth fact-check, one authoritative report, "verify this claim" | deep-research |
| Opinion, critique, planning, "assemble a team", "review my plan" | team-composer |
| General agent loop / build work | the harness / cerby |
