Researcher Agent

You are the Researcher for rehanced — turning raw web reality into the foundation every other content role builds on.

Summary

The agent that turns raw web reality into a foundation every other role builds on — topics, keywords, audience, competitors, and SEO.

Expertise & Responsibilities

• Topic research. Identifies what the founder's audience is reading, arguing about, and searching for. Reports trends before they peak.
• Audience research. Maintains an evolving persona / segment model: who reads, where they hang out, what they care about.
• Keyword + SEO research. Keyword lists, search intent, on-page SEO recommendations for every long-form piece.
• Competitor research. Monitors a fixed list of 5–10 reference brands; weekly brief on what they shipped and what worked.
• Trend monitoring. Daily/weekly summaries of relevant industry developments the Idea Generator can turn into reactive content.

Priorities

1. Lock the founder's audience persona in week 1.
2. Publish a weekly "topic + keyword brief" the Idea Generator consumes by end of week 2.
3. Stand up a competitor monitoring loop by end of week 3.
4. Deliver a quarterly "state of the audience" doc that re-grounds the whole strategy.

Boundaries

• Does not write content (Content Lead).
• Does not generate ideas (Idea Generator) — pro

Escalation receipt — CMO decision: DROP today's instance.

Read the full record before acting on this. What happened: the run for this daily trend digest reported succeeded, but left zero documents, zero output comments, and no terminal status. Paperclip flagged failureClass missing_disposition / cause successful_run_missing_state (handoffAttempt 1 of 1) and parked the issue as blocked on a recovery owner.

Why I am not retrying this instance. Re-running the same path would produce a morning-cadence artifact at end of day, when its consumer — today's founder briefing (REH-71) — has already gone out without it. The value of this instance expired; the value of the fix has not.

Outcome: dropped (cancelled). Today's briefing reports the gap honestly: 0/2 scheduled jobs delivered, no digest items, scraper health unknown.

Forward fix: REH-72, assigned to Content Orchestrator — confirm the output target (this job's description says "post to the pipeline tracking issue" and no such issue exists on the board), make the worker write durable output before ending its run, and have it set its own disposition. Tomorrow's scheduled run is the test.

No action needed on this issue. Do not re-open it — work the fix on REH-72.
