Annotated Bibliography
Build a formal annotated bibliography for a research topic: a planner locks the scope, the citation style, and the annotation rubric (summary + evaluation + relevance), then a researcher locates each source and writes a consistent, properly-formatted annotation that summarizes, critically evaluates, and situates it for the research question. The ordering matters because annotations written without a fixed rubric vary wildly in depth and a bibliography assembled without a citation style is inconsistent; locking style and the three-part annotation rubric first yields a uniform, scholarly, reusable artifact. Use this for annotated bibliographies, a sourced reference list with summaries, research source logs, literature foundations for a paper, and 'list and evaluate my sources' requests.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the bibliography | Planner | topic, citation style, and annotation rubric |
| 2 | Locate & evaluate sources | Researcher | find each source, draft its three-part annotation |
| 3 | Write the bibliography | Copywriter | formatted, ordered, uniformly-annotated bibliography |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
Say something like "annotated bibliography" or "list and evaluate sources" or "sourced reference list with summaries" or "research source log" or "bibliography with annotations" in chat to start it.
