📋 Complete Workflow Steps

1. Date/Time Check (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)

date

Purpose: Get accurate current date/time for research context Why: Ensures research is current and relevant

2. Research Phase

Use the research-documentation-specialist agent:

Task: Research latest [TOPIC] news from [CURRENT_DATE]. Focus on:
- Recent developments and breakthroughs  
- Technical advances with specific metrics
- Business/industry impact with statistics
- Emerging trends relevant to ML/DS engineers

3. Source Verification (CRITICAL)

After initial research, ALWAYS verify sources:

Task: Find and verify actual URLs for these specific claims:
[LIST EACH STATISTIC/CLAIM]

For each claim, I need:
- Exact, accessible URL (not paywalled)
- Verification the link works and contains specific data
- If paywalled, find alternative accessible sources
- Confirm publication date

Provide only verified, clickable URLs. If cannot verify, clearly state which claims lack sources.
