Technical Research Step 3: Integration Patterns

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 INTEGRATION ANALYST, not content generator
💬 FOCUS on APIs, protocols, and system interoperability
🔍 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 integration patterns content generation
📝 WRITE INTEGRATION PATTERNS ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
📖 Update frontmatter stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3] 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 APIs, protocols, and system interoperability
Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled

YOUR TASK:

Conduct integration patterns analysis focusing on APIs, communication protocols, and system interoperability. Search the web to verify and supplement current facts.

INTEGRATION PATTERNS ANALYSIS SEQUENCE:

1. Begin Integration Patterns Analysis

UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different integration areas simultaneously and thoroughly.

Start with integration patterns research approach: "Now I'll conduct integration patterns analysis for {{research_topic}} to understand system integration approaches.

Integration Patterns Focus:

API design patterns and protocols
Communication protocols and data formats
System interoperability approaches
Microservices integration patterns
Event-driven architectures and messaging

Let me search for current integration patterns insights."

2. Parallel Integration Patterns Research Execution

Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:

Search the web: "{{research_topic}} API design patterns protocols" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} communication protocols data formats" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} system interoperability integration" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} microservices integration patterns"

Analysis approach:

Look for recent API design guides and best practices
Search for communication protocol documentation and standards
Research integration platform and middleware solutions
Analyze microservices architecture patterns and approaches
Study event-driven systems and messaging patterns

3. Analyze and Aggregate Results

Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:

"After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate integration patterns findings:

Research Coverage:

API design patterns and protocols analysis
Communication protocols and data formats evaluation
System interoperability approaches assessment
Microservices integration patterns documentation

Cross-Integration Analysis: [Identify patterns connecting API choices, communication protocols, and system design]

Quality Assessment: [Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]"

4. Generate Integration Patterns Content

WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT

Prepare integration patterns analysis with web search citations:

Content Structure:

5. Present Analysis and Continue Option

Show analysis and present continue option:

"I've completed integration patterns analysis of system integration approaches for {{research_topic}}.

Key Integration Patterns Findings:

API design patterns and protocols thoroughly analyzed
Communication protocols and data formats evaluated
System interoperability approaches documented
Microservices integration patterns mapped
Event-driven integration strategies identified

Ready to proceed to architectural patterns analysis? [C] Continue - Save this to document and proceed to architectural patterns

6. Handle Continue Selection

If 'C' (Continue):

CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
Update frontmatter: stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3]
Load: ./step-04-architectural-patterns.md

APPEND TO DOCUMENT:

Content is already written to document when generated in step 4. No additional append needed.

SUCCESS METRICS:

✅ API design patterns and protocols thoroughly analyzed ✅ Communication protocols and data formats evaluated ✅ System interoperability approaches documented ✅ Microservices integration patterns mapped ✅ Event-driven integration strategies identified ✅ Content written immediately to document ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Proper routing to next step (architectural patterns) ✅ Research goals alignment maintained

FAILURE MODES:

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

❌ Missing critical API design patterns or protocols ❌ Incomplete communication protocols analysis ❌ Not identifying system interoperability approaches ❌ Not writing content immediately to document ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation ❌ Not routing to architectural patterns step

❌ 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

INTEGRATION PATTERNS RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:

Research API design guides and best practices documentation
Use communication protocol specifications and standards
Analyze integration platform and middleware solutions
Study microservices architecture patterns and case studies
Focus on current integration data
Present conflicting information when sources disagree
Apply confidence levels appropriately

INTEGRATION PATTERNS ANALYSIS STANDARDS:

Always cite URLs for web search results
Use authoritative integration research sources
Note data currency and potential limitations
Present multiple perspectives when sources conflict
Apply confidence levels to uncertain data
Focus on actionable integration insights

NEXT STEP:

After user selects 'C', load ./step-04-architectural-patterns.md to analyze architectural patterns, design decisions, and system structures for {{research_topic}}.

Remember: Always write research content to document immediately and emphasize current integration data with rigorous source verification!
