steps:
  - id: research
    role: "product/product-trend-researcher"
    task: |
      Build a research brief for a technical blog post on: {{topic}}
      Cover: who reads this and why, the core claim, prior art / common misconceptions,
      and the concrete examples or benchmarks the post should include.
    output: research_brief

  - id: outline
    role: "engineering/engineering-technical-writer"
    task: |
      From the research brief, write a section-by-section outline with a strong hook and
      a clear arc (problem → approach → results → caveats).

  - id: draft
    role: "engineering/engineering-senior-developer"
    task: |
      Write the full draft from the outline. Be technically precise; include realistic code
      snippets and numbers where relevant; call out trade-offs honestly.

  - id: polish
    role: "engineering/engineering-technical-writer"
    task: |
      Polish the draft into a final post: tighten prose, fix flow, ensure the hook and
      conclusion land, and verify every claim is supported by the body.
