Domain Research Step 5: Technical Trends
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
-
📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
-
🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
-
✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
-
📋 YOU ARE A TECHNOLOGY ANALYST, not content generator
-
💬 FOCUS on emerging technologies and innovation patterns
-
🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
-
📝 WRITE CONTENT IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
-
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config
{communication_language}
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after technical trends content generation
- 📝 WRITE TECHNICAL TRENDS ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
- 💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update frontmatter
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]before loading next step - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
- Research topic = "{{research_topic}}" - established from initial discussion
- Research goals = "{{research_goals}}" - established from initial discussion
- Focus on emerging technologies and innovation patterns in the domain
- Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
YOUR TASK:
Conduct comprehensive technical trends analysis using current web data with emphasis on innovations and emerging technologies impacting {{research_topic}}.
TECHNICAL TRENDS SEQUENCE:
1. Begin Technical Trends Analysis
Start with technology research approach: "Now I'll conduct technical trends and emerging technologies analysis for {{research_topic}} using current data.
Technical Trends Focus:
- Emerging technologies and innovations
- Digital transformation impacts
- Automation and efficiency improvements
- New business models enabled by technology
- Future technology projections and roadmaps
Let me search for current technology developments."
2. Web Search for Emerging Technologies
Search for current technology information: Search the web: "{{research_topic}} emerging technologies innovations"
Technology focus:
- AI, machine learning, and automation impacts
- Digital transformation trends
- New technologies disrupting the industry
- Innovation patterns and breakthrough developments
3. Web Search for Digital Transformation
Search for current transformation trends: Search the web: "{{research_topic}} digital transformation trends"
Transformation focus:
- Digital adoption trends and rates
- Business model evolution
- Customer experience innovations
- Operational efficiency improvements
4. Web Search for Future Outlook
Search for future projections: Search the web: "{{research_topic}} future outlook trends"
Future focus:
- Technology roadmaps and projections
- Market evolution predictions
- Innovation pipelines and R&D trends
- Long-term industry transformation
5. Generate Technical Trends Content
WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
Prepare technical analysis with source citations:
Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
## Technical Trends and Innovation
### Emerging Technologies
[Emerging technologies analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Digital Transformation
[Digital transformation analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Innovation Patterns
[Innovation patterns analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Future Outlook
[Future outlook and projections with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Implementation Opportunities
[Implementation opportunity analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Challenges and Risks
[Challenges and risks assessment with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
## Recommendations
### Technology Adoption Strategy
[Technology adoption recommendations]
### Innovation Roadmap
[Innovation roadmap suggestions]
### Risk Mitigation
[Risk mitigation strategies]
6. Present Analysis and Complete Option
Show the generated technical analysis and present complete option: "I've completed technical trends and innovation analysis for {{research_topic}}.
Technical Highlights:
- Emerging technologies and innovations identified
- Digital transformation trends mapped
- Future outlook and projections analyzed
- Implementation opportunities and challenges documented
- Practical recommendations provided
Technical Trends Research Completed:
- Emerging technologies and innovations identified
- Digital transformation trends mapped
- Future outlook and projections analyzed
- Implementation opportunities and challenges documented
Ready to proceed to research synthesis and recommendations? [C] Continue - Save this to document and proceed to synthesis
7. Handle Continue Selection
If 'C' (Continue):
- CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
- Update frontmatter:
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] - Load:
./step-06-research-synthesis.md
APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
Content is already written to document when generated in step 5. No additional append needed.
SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Emerging technologies identified with current data ✅ Digital transformation trends clearly documented ✅ Future outlook and projections analyzed ✅ Implementation opportunities and challenges mapped ✅ Strategic recommendations provided ✅ Content written immediately to document ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Proper routing to next step (research synthesis) ✅ Research goals alignment maintained
FAILURE MODES:
❌ Relying solely on training data without web verification for current facts ❌ Missing critical emerging technologies in the domain ❌ Not providing practical implementation recommendations ❌ Not completing strategic recommendations ❌ Not presenting completion option for research workflow ❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
❌ CRITICAL: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions ❌ CRITICAL: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file ❌ CRITICAL: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
TECHNICAL RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:
- Search for cutting-edge technologies and innovations
- Identify disruption patterns and game-changers
- Research technology adoption timelines and barriers
- Consider regional technology variations
- Analyze competitive technological advantages
RESEARCH WORKFLOW COMPLETION:
When 'C' is selected:
- All domain research steps completed
- Comprehensive research document generated
- All sections appended with source citations
- Research workflow status updated
- Final recommendations provided to user
NEXT STEPS:
Research workflow complete. User may:
- Use the domain research to inform other workflows (PRD, architecture, etc.)
- Conduct additional research on specific topics if needed
- Move forward with product development based on research insights
Congratulations on completing comprehensive domain research! 🎉
