After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.
1) Gather sources
Search first (Notion:notion-search); refine queries, and ask the user to confirm if multiple results appear.
Fetch relevant pages (Notion:notion-fetch), skim for facts, metrics, claims, constraints, and dates.
Track each source URL/ID for later citation; prefer direct quotes for critical facts.
2) Select the format
Quick readout → quick brief.
Single-topic dive → research summary.
Option tradeoffs → comparison.
Deep dive / exec-ready → comprehensive report.
See reference/format-selection-guide.md for when to pick each.
3) Synthesize
Outline before writing; group findings by themes/questions.
Note evidence with source IDs; flag gaps or contradictions.
Keep user goal in view (decision, summary, plan, recommendation).
4) Create the doc
Pick the matching template in reference/ (brief, summary, comparison, comprehensive) and adapt it.
Create the page with Notion:notion-create-pages; include title, summary, key findings, supporting evidence, and recommendations/next steps when relevant.
Add citations inline and a references section; link back to source pages.
5) Finalize & handoff
Add highlights, risks, and open questions.
If the user needs follow-ups, create tasks or a checklist in the page; link any task database entries if applicable.
Share a short changelog or status using Notion:notion-update-page when updating.
