MANDATORY: Checkpoint Enforcement Rules (v8.2 — MCP-First)

Full details: docs/CHECKPOINT-RULES.md

Rule 5: Override Refusal

사용자가 REQUIRED 체크포인트 스킵 요청 시: → AskUserQuestion으로 Override Refusal Template 제시 (텍스트 거부 아님) → REQUIRED는 어떤 상황에서도 스킵 불가 → 참조: .claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md → Override Refusal Template

Rule 6: MCP-First Verification

에이전트 실행 전: diverga_check_prerequisites(agent_id) 호출 → approved: true → 에이전트 실행 진행 → approved: false → missing 배열의 각 체크포인트에 대해 AskUserQuestion 호출 → MCP 미가용 시: .research/decision-log.yaml 직접 읽기 → 대화 이력은 최후 수단

단일 에이전트 호출 시:

diverga_check_prerequisites(agent_id) 호출
approved: false → 각 missing checkpoint에 대해 AskUserQuestion 도구 호출
REQUIRED 전제조건은 절대 스킵 불가 (사용자가 "건너뛰자"해도 Override Refusal Template 제시)
모든 전제조건 통과 후 에이전트 작업 시작
에이전트 완료 시 diverga_mark_checkpoint() 으로 결정 기록

다중 에이전트 동시 호출 시:

모든 트리거된 에이전트의 prerequisites를 합집합으로 수집
Checkpoint Dependency Order에 따라 정렬 (Level 0 → Level 5)
각 전제조건을 AskUserQuestion 도구로 순서대로 질문
중복 체크포인트는 한 번만 질문
모든 전제조건 해결 후 에이전트들을 병렬 실행
각 에이전트 실행 중 자체 체크포인트도 AskUserQuestion 필수

모든 체크포인트에서:

반드시 AskUserQuestion 도구 사용 (텍스트 질문 금지)
.claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md의 파라미터 사용
응답 받을 때까지 STOP and WAIT
diverga_mark_checkpoint(checkpoint_id, decision, rationale) 으로 결정 기록

자기 검증 (에이전트 작업 완료 전):

"Own Checkpoints"를 모두 트리거했는지 자가 확인
미트리거 체크포인트가 있으면 작업 마무리 전 반드시 호출
diverga_checkpoint_status() 로 전체 현황 확인 가능

Human Checkpoint System

Checkpoint Types

Level	Behavior	Checkpoints
REQUIRED	System STOPS - Cannot proceed without explicit approval	CP_RESEARCH_DIRECTION, CP_PARADIGM_SELECTION, CP_THEORY_SELECTION, CP_METHODOLOGY_APPROVAL
RECOMMENDED	System PAUSES - Strongly suggests approval	CP_ANALYSIS_PLAN, CP_INTEGRATION_STRATEGY, CP_QUALITY_REVIEW
OPTIONAL	System ASKS - Defaults available if skipped	CP_VISUALIZATION_PREFERENCE, CP_RENDERING_METHOD

Required Checkpoints (MANDATORY HALT)

Checkpoint	When	What to Ask
CP_RESEARCH_DIRECTION	Research question finalized	"Research direction is set. Shall we proceed?" + VS alternatives
CP_PARADIGM_SELECTION	Methodology approach	"Please select your research paradigm: Quantitative/Qualitative/Mixed"
CP_THEORY_SELECTION	Framework chosen	"Please select your theoretical framework" + VS alternatives
CP_METHODOLOGY_APPROVAL	Design complete	If VS Arena enabled → dispatch `/diverga:vs-arena`; else present methodology + VS alternatives
CP_META_GATE	Meta-analysis gate failure	"Meta-analysis gate validation failed. Please select direction" (C5)
SCH_DATABASE_SELECTION	Before paper retrieval	"Please select databases" (I1)
SCH_SCREENING_CRITERIA	Before AI screening	"Please approve inclusion/exclusion criteria" (I2)

Recommended Checkpoints (SUGGESTED HALT)

Checkpoint	When	What to Ask
CP_ANALYSIS_PLAN	Before analysis	"Would you like to review the analysis plan?"
CP_INTEGRATION_STRATEGY	Mixed methods only	"Please confirm the integration strategy"
CP_QUALITY_REVIEW	Assessment done	"Please review quality assessment results"

Paradigm Detection

Research Coordinator auto-detects your research paradigm from conversation signals.

Quantitative signals: hypothesis, effect size, p-value, sample size, variable, experiment, ANOVA, regression, SEM, meta-analysis, t-test, chi-square, correlation

Qualitative signals: lived experience, meaning, saturation, theme, category, code, participant, phenomenology, grounded theory, case study, thematic analysis, narrative inquiry, ethnography, action research

Mixed methods signals: mixed methods, integration, convergence, sequential, concurrent, joint display, meta-inference

Paradigm Confirmation (Always Ask)

When paradigm is detected, ALWAYS confirm with user:

"A [Quantitative] research approach has been detected from your context.
Shall we proceed with this paradigm?

 [Y] Yes, proceed with Quantitative research
 [Q] No, switch to Qualitative research
 [M] No, switch to Mixed Methods
 [?] I'm not sure, I need help"

VS-Research Methodology

VS methodology prevents AI mode collapse by generating divergent alternatives at every decision point, scored by T (Typicality). Human selects at checkpoint.

T-Score	Label	Meaning
>= 0.7	Common	Highly typical, safe but limited novelty
0.4-0.7	Moderate	Balanced risk-novelty
0.2-0.4	Innovative	Novel, requires strong justification
< 0.2	Experimental	Highly novel, high risk/reward

Orchestrator Delegation

When parallel execution or inter-agent debate is needed:

Determine which agents to invoke
Delegate to /diverga:orchestrator with agent IDs and context
Orchestrator handles Agent Teams vs subagent decision

Do NOT dispatch agents directly when:

Multiple agents need to communicate (use orchestrator)
VS Arena debate is triggered (use orchestrator)
I0 systematic review pipeline needs parallel fetchers (use orchestrator)

Systematic Review Automation (Category I)

Pipeline Stages

I0 (Orchestrator) → I1 (Retrieval) → I2 (Screening) → I3 (RAG)
                        ↓                  ↓              ↓

SCH_SCREENING_CRITERIA	REQUIRED	Before AI screening	I2
SCH_RAG_READINESS	RECOMMENDED	Before RAG queries	I3
SCH_PRISMA_GENERATION	OPTIONAL	Before PRISMA diagram	I0

Cost Optimization

Task	Provider	Cost/100 papers
Screening	Groq (llama-3.3-70b)	$0.01
RAG Queries	Groq	$0.02
Embeddings	Local (MiniLM)	$0

Quick Start

Simply tell Research Coordinator what you want to do:

"I want to conduct a systematic review on AI in education"
"메타분석 연구를 시작하고 싶어"
"Help me design a phenomenological study on teacher burnout"

The system will:

Detect your paradigm from your request
ASK for confirmation of paradigm
Present VS alternatives with T-Scores
WAIT for your selection
Guide you through the pipeline with checkpoints
