# IW Research
Produces a filed research document registered in the IW AI Core database.
**Research topic**: $ARGUMENTS
---
## Prerequisites
- F-00020 must be deployed: `iw next-id --type research` must work
- OpenCode users: set `OPENCODE_ENABLE_EXA=1` for WebSearch support
- context7 tools are optional but recommended when investigating libraries/frameworks
## Step 1: Reserve Research ID (IMMEDIATE)
Reserve the next available Research ID **immediately** — before any other work:
```bash
iw next-id --type research
```
This atomically allocates a fresh ID (e.g., `R-00001`). Store it verbatim. The database is the sole source of truth.
**CRITICAL**: This call MUST happen before ANY other action.

## Step 2: Scope & Mode Selection (MANDATORY INTERACTION)
Discuss with the user to determine:
### 2a. Primary Question
What is the single main question this research answers? (1-2 sentences)
### 2b. Secondary Questions
List 2-5 specific sub-questions or angles to investigate.
### 2c. Depth Level
| Level | When to Use |
|-------|-------------|
| quick | Single specific fact or narrow comparison |
| standard | Multi-angle overview with key trade-offs |
| deep | Comprehensive investigation with multiple sources per claim |
### 2d. Mode Selection
Auto-detect from topic, then confirm with user:
| Mode | Trigger Keywords | Description |
|------|-----------------|-------------|
| **tech** | library, framework, SDK, tool comparison, evaluate X vs Y | Evaluate technical optio
