Use when a research request could plausibly need broad deep-dive research, market-framework analysis, or investment-oriented research and the agent must choose the narrowest child skill first.
Use this router when the request is research-heavy and more than one research child skill could fit.
Do not perform the full child workflow here. Select the narrowest correct research skill, then hand off.
references/children.json as the source of truth for child boundaries, nested targets, install hints, and companion recommendations.Apply these checks in order.
Route to using-research/investment-research when the request is about a stock, portfolio, investment thesis, investor lens, or public-company analysis.
Typical signs:
Route to using-research/market-research when the request is about market sizing, frameworks such as PESTEL or Porter's Five Forces, competitive benchmarking, JTBD, business model canvas, or structured market analysis.
Typical signs:
Route to using-research/research-assistant when the user needs general, institutional-grade research and synthesis that is not specifically market-framework work or investment research.
Typical signs:
If none of the above fits cleanly, do not force a research skill.
Return one of these forms and then invoke the selected child if needed:
Route to using-research/investment-research.Route to using-research/market-research.Route to using-research/research-assistant.Install <child-path>, then route to <child-path>.No research skill needed; answer directly.Add one sentence explaining why the selected child is the narrowest correct fit.
