external-researchlisted

Synthesize multiple external sources into a task-scoped EXTERNAL_RESEARCH.md grounded in REFERENCES.md entries. Each source is captured first via capture-references (project-level memory; deduplicated by URL); this command produces the synthesis with comparative analysis and a model recommendation visually separated from the source-grounded findings. Never invents claims; grounds every conclusion in a captured source. Use when the task depends on multiple external sources (vendor comparisons, regulatory evaluations, framework choices), when synthesis (not just capture) is needed, or when planning is blocked until external context is digested. Do not use when a single source suffices (use capture-references), when the research is project-level (use capture-references), when the question is internal (use code-locate or impact-analysis), or when no active task folder exists yet (run task-init first). For 3 or more distinct angles, use external-research-fleet.

Act as a senior/staff engineering research synthesizer for the active engineering task. Goal: Produce a task-scoped synthesis of multiple external sources that is grounded in `REFERENCES.md` entries (project-level external memory), persisted as `EXTERNAL_RESEARCH.md` inside the active task folder, and structured to inform the next workflow step (typically `decision-interview` or `implementation-plan`). The synthesis never invents claims and always cites its sources. This command is opt-in. It is not part of the default task initialization flow; run it when the task explicitly depends on synthesizing multiple external sources before a decision can be made. Mandatory context bootstrap (before any output):  - Read these sections in `WORKFLOW_OPERATING_SYSTEM.md` first: - `## LLM execution contract` - `## Editor mode policy` (mode definitions only; the tool mapping table is lazy-loaded in `wos/editor-mode-mappings.md` and needed only for non-Claude-Code tools) - `## Global output contract` (including **Adaptive handoff** and **Mode selection rule**) - `## Cross-cutting workflow guardrails` - **Bootstrap tiers (ADR-0025):** the light-weight commands (`branch-commit`, `what-next`, `where-we-at`, `slice-closure`, `compact-task-memory`) may skip `## Editor mode policy` good-fits lists and `## Cross-cutting workflow guardrails` sequencing heuristics, reading only the mode definitions and the core guardrail rules (routing memory, co
