Technical Research Step 4: Implementation Research

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 AN IMPLEMENTATION ENGINEER, not content generator

  • 💬 FOCUS on implementation approaches and technology adoption

  • 🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources

  • ✅ 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] complete option after implementation research content generation
  • 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Complete)
  • 📖 Update frontmatter stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4] before completing workflow
  • 🚫 FORBIDDEN to complete workflow until C is selected

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

  • Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
  • Focus on implementation approaches and technology adoption strategies
  • Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
  • This is the final step in the technical research workflow

YOUR TASK:

Conduct comprehensive implementation research with emphasis on practical implementation approaches and technology adoption.

IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH SEQUENCE:

1. Begin Implementation Research

Start with implementation research approach: "Now I'll complete our technical research with implementation approaches and technology adoption analysis.

Implementation Research Focus:

  • Technology adoption strategies and migration patterns
  • Development workflows and tooling ecosystems
  • Testing, deployment, and operational practices
  • Team organization and skill requirements
  • Cost optimization and resource management

Let me search for current implementation and adoption strategies."

2. Web Search for Technology Adoption

Search for current adoption strategies: Search the web: "technology adoption strategies migration"

Adoption focus:

  • Technology migration patterns and approaches
  • Gradual adoption vs big bang strategies
  • Legacy system modernization approaches
  • Vendor evaluation and selection criteria

3. Web Search for Development Workflows

Search for current development practices: Search the web: "software development workflows tooling"

Workflow focus:

  • CI/CD pipelines and automation tools
  • Code quality and review processes
  • Testing strategies and frameworks
  • Collaboration and communication tools

4. Web Search for Operational Excellence

Search for current operational practices: Search the web: "DevOps operations best practices"

Operations focus:

  • Monitoring and observability practices
  • Incident response and disaster recovery
  • Infrastructure as code and automation
  • Security operations and compliance automation

5. Generate Implementation Research Content

Prepare implementation analysis with web search citations:

Content Structure:

When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:

## Implementation Approaches and Technology Adoption

### Technology Adoption Strategies

[Technology adoption analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Development Workflows and Tooling

[Development workflows analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Testing and Quality Assurance

[Testing approaches analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Deployment and Operations Practices

[Deployment practices analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Team Organization and Skills

[Team organization analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Cost Optimization and Resource Management

[Cost optimization analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

### Risk Assessment and Mitigation

[Risk mitigation analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_

## Technical Research Recommendations

### Implementation Roadmap

[Implementation roadmap recommendations]

### Technology Stack Recommendations

[Technology stack suggestions]

### Skill Development Requirements

[Skill development recommendations]

### Success Metrics and KPIs

[Success measurement framework]

6. Present Analysis and Complete Option

Show the generated implementation research and present complete option: "I've completed the implementation research and technology adoption analysis, finalizing our comprehensive technical research.

Implementation Highlights:

  • Technology adoption strategies and migration patterns documented
  • Development workflows and tooling ecosystems analyzed
  • Testing, deployment, and operational practices mapped
  • Team organization and skill requirements identified
  • Cost optimization and resource management strategies provided

This completes our technical research covering:

  • Technical overview and landscape analysis
  • Architectural patterns and design decisions
  • Implementation approaches and technology adoption
  • Practical recommendations and implementation roadmap

Ready to complete the technical research report? [C] Complete Research - Save final document and conclude

7. Handle Complete Selection

If 'C' (Complete Research):

  • Append the final content to the research document
  • Update frontmatter: stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Complete the technical research workflow

APPEND TO DOCUMENT:

When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the research document using the structure from step 5.

SUCCESS METRICS:

✅ Technology adoption strategies identified with current citations ✅ Development workflows and tooling thoroughly analyzed ✅ Testing and deployment practices clearly documented ✅ Team organization and skill requirements mapped ✅ Cost optimization and risk mitigation strategies provided ✅ [C] complete option presented and handled correctly ✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected ✅ Technical research workflow completed successfully

FAILURE MODES:

❌ Relying solely on training data without web verification for current facts

❌ Missing critical technology adoption strategies ❌ Not providing practical implementation guidance ❌ Incomplete development workflows or operational practices analysis ❌ 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

IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:

  • Search for implementation case studies and success stories
  • Research technology migration patterns and lessons learned
  • Identify common implementation challenges and solutions
  • Research development tooling ecosystem evaluations
  • Analyze operational excellence frameworks and maturity models

TECHNICAL RESEARCH WORKFLOW COMPLETION:

When 'C' is selected:

  • All technical research steps completed
  • Comprehensive technical research document generated
  • All sections appended with source citations
  • Technical research workflow status updated
  • Final implementation recommendations provided to user

NEXT STEPS:

Technical research workflow complete. User may:

  • Use technical research to inform architecture decisions
  • Conduct additional research on specific technologies
  • Combine technical research with other research types for comprehensive insights
  • Move forward with implementation based on technical insights

Congratulations on completing comprehensive technical research! 🎉
