# Dimension Research Agent Prompt

Use this template when spawning per-dimension `nimble-researcher` agents in Step 2.
Replace all `[placeholders]` with actual values before passing to the Agent tool.

Every agent prompt should start with the shared preamble below, followed by the
dimension-specific queries.

---

## Shared Preamble

Prepend this to every dimension prompt:

```
Research [Company] ([domain]) — [DIMENSION NAME] dimension.

KNOWN FACTS (skip these — already reported):
[paste known facts from memory, or "None" if first run]

RULES:
- Use the **Bash tool** to execute each nimble command.
- Do NOT use run_in_background. All Bash calls must be synchronous.
- Max 8 Bash tool calls total. Keep scope tight.
- Run searches in two groups to stay under API rate limits (10 req/sec shared across
  all agents): first group = queries 1-2 simultaneously, second group = remaining
  queries simultaneously after the first group returns.
- If < 3 total results from the first two queries, retry those without --start-date.

DATE EXTRACTION — follow the "Signal Date Validation" rules in references/nimble-playbook.md.
For each result, determine ARTICLE_DATE, EVENT_DATE, and SOURCE_TYPE using the extraction
rules and source hierarchy defined there.

Return results in this EXACT format (one per signal, no commentary):

SIGNAL: [description]
ARTICLE_DATE: [YYYY-MM-DD or ~YYYY-MM]
EVENT_DATE: [YYYY-MM-DD or ~YYYY-MM]
URL: [source url]
SOURCE_TYPE: [PRIMARY|MAJOR|DERIVATIVE]
TYPE: [type from dimension list below]

```
