To run this task you must have the following required information:

> Industry, team type, work arrangement (remote/hybrid/office), specific challenges

If you don't have all of this information, exit here and respond asking for any extra information you require, and instructions to run this task again with ALL required information.

You MUST use a todo list to complete these steps in order. Never move on to one step if you haven't completed the previous step. If you have multiple read steps in a row, read them all at once (in parallel).

Add all steps to your todo list now and begin executing.

## Steps

1. Ask the user for research context:
- What industry are you in?
- What's your team type? (engineering, sales, marketing, cross-functional)
- Remote, hybrid, or in-office?
- What specific challenges? (trust, burnout, collaboration, productivity)
- Any practices you've already tried?


2. [Read Manager Context Profile]: Read the file at `./documents/manager-context.json` and analyze its contents (Check for company/team context. If file doesn't exist, use context from conversation)

3. [Read Manager Research Guide]: Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/[skill_id]/references/manager.research.guide.md` (Reference research output format)

4. [Gather Requirements for Research Topic] The next step has the following requirements: "Topic to research. Optional: specific angle (latest developments, key players, how it works, market size).". Search the user's data for this information or ask them directly if needed. Do not proceed until you have this information.

5. [Execute Research Topic Task]: Spawn a subagent and provide it with the requirements gathered above and instructions to read `./skills/sauna/[skill_id]/references/recipes/research.exa.topic.md` for its task list

6. Synthesize findings: top 5 practices with company examples and evidence, key
findings by theme (trust, burnout, productivity), applicability assessment for
their context, and all sources cited.


7. Offer next steps:
- Research specific aspects deeper or create implementation plan
- Draft a tracking template for recommended metrics
