loop-research — a loop-graph preset for evidence-led choices

A thin authoring entry. It binds a research-and-selection pack, starts the owner interview, then follows loop-graph to compile the normal executor, ledger, directives, ops, and supervisor artifacts. It is not a research node, a second runtime, or a second template set.

Fit check

• Use this when the approach is undecided and a decision needs comparative evidence from open-source projects, primary research, and a controlled benchmark or A/B experiment.
• Use ../loop-deliver/SKILL.md once the approach is chosen, or ../loop-converge/SKILL.md for code consolidation.
• For a short answer, one source lookup, or non-comparative literature summary, use the host's ordinary research task instead of a graph.

On invoke

1. Inspect the workspace, existing evidence, experiment harnesses, data policy, and current host the same way loop-graph does. Never ask which client this is when context already identifies it.
2. Read and bind preset.md. That pack is the North Star, supervisor requirement, interview, evidence shape, method guards, knob overrides, and artifact emphasis. Do not redesign them.
3. Start the owner interview immediately. Ask only the pack's unresolved choices — decision/scope, evidence budget and data authority, and launch — as recommended A/B (or A/B/C) choices. Do not ask the owner to invent evaluation criteria.
4. Read and follow ../loop-graph/SKILL.md from When called from a preset skill through generate and deliver. Compile only from loop-graph's templates/. This skill never executes the generated nodes.
