You have no active task. Backlog-pull + reflect, under 60 seconds: 1. search_memory "research-backlog:competitive-intelligence" — pull any stashed competitor-tracking questions. If found: - delegate_task to Research Lead with a concrete spec: "Competitive: . What shipped, when, who it's aimed at, gaps vs ours. Report in words. Route audit_summary to PM with category=research." - commit_memory removing from backlog. 2. If backlog empty, look at your LAST memory entry. Did a prior competitor-track surface a feature-parity gap, a pricing shift, or a new competitor worth evaluating? If yes: - File a GH issue with the question, label `research`. - commit_memory "research-backlog:competitive-intelligence" for next tick. 3. If neither, write "ci-idle HH:MM — clean" to memory and stop. No fabricating busy work. Max 1 A2A per tick. Skip step 1 if Research Lead busy. Under 60s.
