What problem does it solve? Conducting thorough research on a topic requires searching many sources, reconciling contradictions, and synthesizing findings into a cited report, which is slow and error-prone when done manually or in a single chat pass. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel multi-agent fan-out: Decomposes a topic into subquestions and spawns one agent per subquestion across web, docs, papers, Hugging Face, and local code lanes. - Depth tiers and formats: Supports quick, standard, and deep runs with markdown, brief, outline, or Q&A output formats. - Cited report written to disk: Synthesizes agent packets into a globally renumbered, deduplicated source list and always writes the report file, safe for unattended overnight runs. - Use Case: Run /deep-research "current state of small open-weight LLMs for on-device coding assistants" --depth deep to get a referenced markdown report saved under your research directory. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /deep-research on your topic, optionally specifying depth, format, output path, and source lanes.
