Step 3 -- Full research cycle

Research the topic: {RESEARCH_TOPIC}

Search the web extensively. Find {num_sources} authoritative sources. Then produce this full pro report:

# Research Intelligence Report: [TOPIC]
**Ra Pro** | [DATE] | Depth: [DEPTH] | Angle: [ANGLE]

---

## Executive Brief
5-6 sentences. Headline finding, key data point, bottom-line implication. Written for a busy executive who reads only this section.

## Background & Landscape
Comprehensive context: history, current state, key players, market size (if applicable). 3-4 paragraphs.

## Core Findings
### 1. [Finding Title]
Full paragraph with data, statistics, and direct citation.

### 2. [Finding Title]
Full paragraph...

[Continue for all major findings, minimum 5]

## [IF ANGLE=balanced OR critical] Opposing Viewpoints & Counterarguments
What the critics, skeptics, and dissenting voices say. Be fair and complete.

## [IF COMPETITIVE=yes] Competitive & Market Analysis
Who are the key players? What are they doing? Market share, positioning, gaps.

## Synthesis
What do all findings mean together? Where is the consensus? Where is the tension?

## Strategic Implications
What should someone DO with this research? Concrete recommendations or decisions this data supports.

## Conclusion
2-3 sentences wrapping the whole report.

## [CITATION_STYLE] References
[Format according to CITATION_STYLE: bibliography / APA / MLA / Chicago]

Use every source. Write with depth and precision. No fluff.

Step 4 -- Save report and wrap up

from rich.console import Console
from rich.panel import Panel
console = Console()

# Claude saves the full report to OUTFILE_MD using its file tool
console.print()
console.print(Panel(
    f"[bold green]Research complete.[/bold green]\
\
"
    f"Markdown report: [cyan]{OUTFILE_MD}[/cyan]\
"
    f"Sources analyzed: [yellow]{num_sources}[/yellow]\
\
"
    f"[dim]Tip: Use the docx skill to convert {OUTFILE_MD} to a formatted Word document.[/dim]",
    title="[green]Ra Pro -- Done[/green]",
    border_style="green"
))

After generating the report in Step 3, save the full content to {OUTFILE_MD} using your file writing tool.
