Excerpt

EXECUTE NOW

Topic: $ARGUMENTS

Parse immediately:

If topic provided: research that topic
If topic empty: read self/goals.md for highest-priority unexplored direction and propose it
If topic includes --deep/--light/--moderate: force that depth, strip flag from topic
If no topic and no goals.md: ask "What would you like to research?"

Steps:

Read config — tool preferences, depth, domain vocabulary
Determine depth — from flags, config default, or fallback to moderate
Research — tool cascade: primary → fallback → last resort
File to inbox — with full provenance metadata
Chain to processing — next step based on pipeline chaining mode
Update goals.md — append new research directions discovered
