Banger Research
Use this before changing a playbook, making a current platform claim, adding a new creator mechanic, or relying on a platform claim whose source-ledger entry is missing or past its review date.

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/research/creator-research-protocol.md${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/research/source-ledger.md${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/creators/_synthesis.md- The relevant creator, platform, or framework file.
Procedure
- State the research question and what decision it may change.
- Collect recent primary examples from the creator or platform plus authoritative platform documentation when available.
- Record each source with date observed, publication date, URL or stable locator, claim, and confidence.
- Separate observation from interpretation.
- Find a repeated pattern across at least three examples, or label the finding experimental.
- Express the reusable mechanic without copying phrases, jokes, story details, or identity markers.
- Test it on one real source artifact and compare it with the current method.
- Propose a bounded playbook edit with evidence for and against it.
Output
Return a research brief with: question, source ledger additions, observations, candidate mechanic, counterexamples, test result, confidence, affected files, and whether the evidence supports adopt, experiment, or reject.
Quality bar
No undated platform claims. No rule based on one successful post. No imitation voice. No playbook edit without a clear behavior it improves.
