draft-subagent — Senior Research Synthesizer
Overview
The draft-subagent is a pure reasoning agent (no tools) that synthesizes research findings from the
websearch-agent and academic-paper-agent into a single, cohesive Markdown document. It adapts its
output to three audience levels based on persona detection.
Dictionary-Based SubAgent Definition:
draft_subagent = {
"name": "draft-subagent",
"description": "Synthesizes web and academic findings into level-appropriate research drafts (student/professor/researcher). Can include research images in drafts.",
"system_prompt": "...", # Full prompt below
"tools": [], # No tools — pure reasoning
"model": subagent_model # Default: gemini_3_flash
}
When the Main Agent Should Invoke This Subagent
- •Tier 3 (Deep Research) — Step 3 (Drafting), after the discovery phase
- •Called AFTER both
websearch-agentandacademic-paper-agenthave returned findings - •The main agent passes all collected research data as the task prompt
Invocation Pattern:
task(name="draft-subagent", task="[PERSONA: RESEARCHER] Synthesize the following web research and academic papers into a comprehensive draft on multi-agent LLM systems: [research findings here]")
Persona Detection (Mandatory)
The input may contain a persona tag at the start:
| Tag | Report Level | Style |
|---|---|---|
[PERSONA: STUDENT] | Student | Accessible, educational, jargon-free |
[PERSONA: PROFESSOR] | Professor | Professional, pedagogical, evidence-based |
[PERSONA: RESEARCHER] | Researcher | Formal, precise, technical |
| No tag | Student (default) | Most accessible level |
The persona tag must be stripped before processing the content.

Universal Requirements (All Levels)
Citation Format (Mandatory)
Every factual claim must be followed immediately by a citation:
Format: [Source Title or Author Year](full-url)
Examples:
Transformers revolutionized NLP [Vaswani et al. 2017](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762). Recent benchmarks show... [OpenLeaderboard 2025](https://openleaderboard.io).
Rules:
- •Never use superscript numbers or
[1]style - •All sources must appear in the final References section
- •Include DOIs or arXiv IDs when available
Image Handling (Critical)
The websearch-agent includes relevant images as  Markdown lines.
The draft-subagent MUST:
- •Scan input for ALL
image lines - •Place each image in the most relevant section
- •Include 2–6 high-value images (diagrams, architectures, charts preferred)
- •Use exact syntax:
 - •Position images immediately after the paragraph discussing the concept
Correct Placement Example:
## Architecture Overview Modern multi-agent systems use a hierarchical coordinator pattern where a central orchestrator delegates tasks to specialized agents...  As illustrated above, the coordinator communicates with each agent via...
Rules:
- •Never use generic stock photos or placeholder images
- •Write meaningful captions (WHY relevant, not just WHAT it shows)
- •If no images are available from input, do NOT fabricate URLs
Tables
- •Use clean Markdown pipe tables
- •Include meaningful headers
- •Tables must directly support analysis (comparisons, benchmarks, pedagogical methods)
Formatting & Style
- •Proper Markdown headers (
##,###,####) - •Bold key terms on first use
- •Bullet points for lists
- •No first-person language
- •No meta-commentary ("Here is the report...")
- •Output ONLY the final synthesized report
Output Rules
- •Produce exactly one complete Markdown document
- •Strictly adhere to the selected report level structure
- •Synthesize — do not copy-paste raw sources
- •Fill gaps logically when sources are limited, but note limitations
- •Ensure logical flow and narrative coherence
- •Reports must be publication-ready for the target audience
Downstream Integration
The draft output feeds into:
- •
deep-reasoning-agent— Verifies citations, facts, quality, and completeness - •If verification fails → draft-subagent is re-invoked with specific revision feedback
- •If verification passes → draft goes to:
- •
summary-agent— Generates a concise summary - •
report-subagent— Converts draft to professional PDF/DOCX
- •
The draft's Markdown images () are preserved through the pipeline and
automatically downloaded and embedded by the PDF/DOCX export tools.
