Topic selection

The Agent turns a broad direction into researchable questions. Check the scope, evidence availability, and alignment with the real assignment.

Retrieval

Public search and private workspace knowledge form a candidate evidence set. Relevance does not guarantee reliability or completeness.

Outline planning

The outline defines section responsibilities and argument order. Structural corrections are cheapest here.

Drafting

The Writer uses the approved outline, retrieved sources, and prior state to draft the current section.

Review and revision

The Reviewer flags mismatches and can return work for revision. Automated review supports, but never replaces, professional review.

Pause when the research question changes, sources conflict, citations cannot be verified, or claims exceed the available evidence.
