/research — Autonomous Wealth Research

Run an autonomous research loop to update WealthStack's knowledge base.

Usage

/wealthstack:research "topic or area to research"

If no topic provided, research all priority areas from research/program.md.

Research Loop

For each topic:

Step 1: Check existing knowledge

Read the relevant agent's memory directory to see what's already known:

ls .claude/agent-memory/<agent-name>/ 2>/dev/null
cat .claude/agent-memory/<agent-name>/MEMORY.md 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Search for updates

Search the web for the latest information on the topic. Focus on:

• SEBI circulars and press releases
• RBI monetary policy statements
• Budget/Finance Act changes
• AMFI mutual fund data
• Insurance (IRDAI) regulatory updates
• Economic Survey data

Step 3: Compare and identify new knowledge

Compare search results against existing memory:

• Is this information already saved? → Skip
• Is this an update to existing knowledge? → Update the file
• Is this entirely new? → Create new file

Step 4: Save findings

Write new knowledge to the relevant agent's memory:

mkdir -p .claude/agent-memory/<agent-name>

File format:

# [Topic Title]
**Date discovered**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Source**: [URL or reference]
**Affects**: [which agent/skill this impacts]

## Finding
[The actual knowledge — specific, factual, actionable]

## Impact on advice
[How this changes what WealthStack should tell users]

Step 5: Update MEMORY.md index

Add a one-line pointer to the new file in the agent's MEMORY.md.

Step 6: Report

Output a summary:
