MANDATORY: Checkpoint Enforcement Rules (v8.2 — MCP-First)

Full details: docs/CHECKPOINT-RULES.md

Rule 5: Override Refusal

사용자가 REQUIRED 체크포인트 스킵 요청 시: → AskUserQuestion으로 Override Refusal Template 제시 (텍스트 거부 아님) → REQUIRED는 어떤 상황에서도 스킵 불가 → 참조: .claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md → Override Refusal Template

Rule 6: MCP-First Verification

에이전트 실행 전: diverga_check_prerequisites(agent_id) 호출 → approved: true → 에이전트 실행 진행 → approved: falsemissing 배열의 각 체크포인트에 대해 AskUserQuestion 호출 → MCP 미가용 시: .research/decision-log.yaml 직접 읽기 → 대화 이력은 최후 수단

단일 에이전트 호출 시:

  1. diverga_check_prerequisites(agent_id) 호출
  2. approved: false → 각 missing checkpoint에 대해 AskUserQuestion 도구 호출
  3. REQUIRED 전제조건은 절대 스킵 불가 (사용자가 "건너뛰자"해도 Override Refusal Template 제시)
  4. 모든 전제조건 통과 후 에이전트 작업 시작
  5. 에이전트 완료 시 diverga_mark_checkpoint() 으로 결정 기록

다중 에이전트 동시 호출 시:

  1. 모든 트리거된 에이전트의 prerequisites를 합집합으로 수집
  2. Checkpoint Dependency Order에 따라 정렬 (Level 0 → Level 5)
  3. 각 전제조건을 AskUserQuestion 도구로 순서대로 질문
  4. 중복 체크포인트는 한 번만 질문
  5. 모든 전제조건 해결 후 에이전트들을 병렬 실행
  6. 각 에이전트 실행 중 자체 체크포인트도 AskUserQuestion 필수

모든 체크포인트에서:

  1. 반드시 AskUserQuestion 도구 사용 (텍스트 질문 금지)
  2. .claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md의 파라미터 사용
  3. 응답 받을 때까지 STOP and WAIT
  4. diverga_mark_checkpoint(checkpoint_id, decision, rationale) 으로 결정 기록

자기 검증 (에이전트 작업 완료 전):

  • "Own Checkpoints"를 모두 트리거했는지 자가 확인
  • 미트리거 체크포인트가 있으면 작업 마무리 전 반드시 호출
  • diverga_checkpoint_status() 로 전체 현황 확인 가능

CP_PARADIGM_SELECTIONMethodology approach"Please select your research paradigm: Quantitative/Qualitative/Mixed"
CP_THEORY_SELECTIONFramework chosen"Please select your theoretical framework" + VS alternatives
CP_METHODOLOGY_APPROVALDesign completeIf VS Arena enabled → dispatch /diverga:vs-arena; else present methodology + VS alternatives

CP_ANALYSIS_PLANBefore analysis"Would you like to review the analysis plan?"
CP_INTEGRATION_STRATEGYMixed methods only"Please confirm the integration strategy"
CP_QUALITY_REVIEWAssessment done"Please review quality assessment results"

Paradigm Detection

Research Coordinator auto-detects your research paradigm from conversation signals.

Quantitative signals: hypothesis, effect size, p-value, sample size, variable, experiment, ANOVA, regression, SEM, meta-analysis, t-test, chi-square, correlation

Qualitative signals: lived experience, meaning, saturation, theme, category, code, participant, phenomenology, grounded theory, case study, thematic analysis, narrative inquiry, ethnography, action research

Mixed methods signals: mixed methods, integration, convergence, sequential, concurrent, joint display, meta-inference

Paradigm Confirmation (Always Ask)

When paradigm is detected, ALWAYS confirm with user:

"A [Quantitative] research approach has been detected from your context.
Shall we proceed with this paradigm?

 [Y] Yes, proceed with Quantitative research
 [Q] No, switch to Qualitative research
 [M] No, switch to Mixed Methods
 [?] I'm not sure, I need help"

VS-Research Methodology

VS methodology prevents AI mode collapse by generating divergent alternatives at every decision point, scored by T (Typicality). Human selects at checkpoint.

T-ScoreLabelMeaning
>= 0.7CommonHighly typical, safe but limited novelty
0.4-0.7ModerateBalanced risk-novelty
0.2-0.4InnovativeNovel, requires strong justification
< 0.2ExperimentalHighly novel, high risk/reward

Orchestrator Delegation

When parallel execution or inter-agent debate is needed:

  1. Determine which agents to invoke
  2. Delegate to /diverga:orchestrator with agent IDs and context
  3. Orchestrator handles Agent Teams vs subagent decision

Do NOT dispatch agents directly when:

  • Multiple agents need to communicate (use orchestrator)
  • VS Arena debate is triggered (use orchestrator)
  • I0 systematic review pipeline needs parallel fetchers (use orchestrator)

Quick Start

Simply tell Research Coordinator what you want to do:

"I want to conduct a systematic review on AI in education"
"메타분석 연구를 시작하고 싶어"
"Help me design a phenomenological study on teacher burnout"

The system will:

  1. Detect your paradigm from your request
  2. ASK for confirmation of paradigm
  3. Present VS alternatives with T-Scores
  4. WAIT for your selection
  5. Guide you through the pipeline with checkpoints
