## Security Compliance

All commands follow token security rules:

- [x] API keys loaded from `.aiwg/research/config.yaml`, never hardcoded
- [x] Query sanitization to prevent injection attacks
- [x] Rate limiting strictly enforced
- [x] File integrity validation with checksums
- [x] Download from trusted sources only
- [x] No sensitive data logged

## Next Steps

### Immediate (Elaboration Phase)

1. **Review command definitions** with Discovery Agent Designer and stakeholders
2. **Validate workflow examples** with developer-researcher persona
3. **Confirm API integration approach** (Semantic Scholar, Unpaywall, arXiv)
4. **Refine skill definitions** based on natural language router requirements

### Short-Term (Construction Phase)

1. **Implement command handlers** in `src/commands/research/`
2. **Create test suite** covering all 10 commands
3. **Build natural language skill router** for pattern matching
4. **Integrate with AIWG CLI** (`aiwg research <command>`)

### Long-Term (Transition Phase)

1. **User acceptance testing** with real research workflows
2. **Performance optimization** to meet NFR targets
3. **Documentation publishing** to aiwg.io website
4. **Framework deployment** to npm registry

## Risks and Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation | Status |
|------|--------|------------|--------|
| Semantic Scholar API changes | High | Version API calls, monitor changelog | Monitored |
| Rate limiting too restrictive | Medium | Implement queue, space requests | Designed in |
| PDF validation complexity | Medium | Use established libraries (pdf-lib) | Planned |
| Natural language ambiguity | Medium | Fallback to explicit commands | Designed in |
