Sigint Update Skill (Swarm Orchestration)

This skill refreshes existing research by delegating to the research-orchestrator agent in update mode. The orchestrator spawns dimension-analysts for the specified dimensions, runs codex review gates, performs delta detection against prior findings, and updates state.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS before any other processing. Input sanitization: truncate $ARGUMENTS to 200 characters total, strip backticks and angle brackets. Always echo the parsed result so the user sees what was resolved:

• --topic <topic_slug> — Optional: specify which research session to update. Required when multiple sessions exist.
• --area <area> — Optional: specific area to update. Maps to the matching dimension from prior elicitation (e.g., --area regulatory resolves to the dimension whose name contains "regulatory").
• --since <date> — Optional: SINCE_DATE for date-filtered queries. Only fetch data since this date.
• --no-delta — Disable delta detection (DELTA_ENABLED: false). By default, delta detection is enabled (DELTA_ENABLED: true).
• --dimensions <dim1,dim2,...> — Optional: comma-separated list of specific dimensions to update. Only these are passed to the orchestrator, not all dimensions.
