Wave: CROSS_WAVE
Agent: Nova (nw-researcher)
Command: *research
Systematic evidence-based research with source verification. Cross-wave support providing research-backed insights for any nWave phase using trusted academic|official|industry sources.
Optional --skill-for={agent-name} distills research into a practitioner-focused skill file for a specific agent.
At orchestration time, before invoking the researcher subagent:
.nwave/trusted-source-domains.yaml from the project root. Gate: file read attempted.## Default Trusted Sources below, then notify the user: "Seeded .nwave/trusted-source-domains.yaml with defaults (7 categories, 42 trusted domains, 5 excluded). Edit the YAML directly to customize." Gate: file exists.@nw-researcher
Execute *research on {topic} [--skill-for={agent-name}].
Configuration:
The researcher MUST create the output file in the FIRST 5 turns with a document skeleton (title, sections, placeholders). All subsequent findings are written DIRECTLY to this file as they are gathered — never held only in context.
If the agent is interrupted or runs out of turns, the output file contains all work done so far. This is the researcher's equivalent of the crafter's "commit early, commit often."
