SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates parallel dan-researcher agents to investigate a topic or phase and then merges their findings into a coherent final synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Research in Waves: Spawns multiple researchers to cover diverse angles and produce scoped findings for each angle.
  • Synthesis and Output: Launches a dan-synthesizer to merge findings into a phase or project level RESEARCH.md, updating planning state.
  • State-driven Workflow: Maintains and evolves a research state with max 4 passes, promoting convergence checks and deterministic output paths.

Quick Start

Provide a topic or phase and run the dan:research skill to begin parallel researchers and generate a final synthesis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate parallel research and synthesize findings for a project phase?▼

To automate parallel research, this Skill spawns multiple researcher agents to investigate a topic and then uses a synthesizer to merge their findings into a final RESEARCH.md file, updating the planning state and checking for convergence.

What is the best way to coordinate multiagent research across multiple project phases?▼

Multiagent research is coordinated by orchestrating parallel dan-researcher agents to cover diverse angles, producing scoped findings for each dimension before a synthesizer merges them into a phase-level or project-level synthesis.

How does state-driven workflow work when planning research synthesis?▼

State-driven research workflow maintains and evolves a research state with a maximum of 4 passes, reading prior context from PROJECT.md and ROADMAP.md, recording gaps, and checking convergence via the CLI to ensure deterministic outputs.

Can I use this parallel research approach for both project-level and phase-level scopes?▼

Yes, you can target both project-level and phase-level scopes. The Skill directs researchers to investigate the specified scope and merges their findings, producing per-dimension findings and a final synthesis in the planning directory.

What context do I need to provide before starting automated research synthesis?▼

Before starting automated research synthesis, you need to provide a topic or phase. The Skill reads prior context from PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, and STATE.md to initialize the research state and record any existing gaps.
