SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a deep research report on a topic?▼

Invoke /deep-research with your topic and optional flags for depth, format, output path, and sources. The orchestrator states a short plan, spawns parallel research agents, then writes a cited markdown report to disk.

What depth tiers does the deep research workflow support?▼

Three tiers exist: quick uses 3 subquestions in about 5 minutes, standard uses 5-6 subquestions in about 15 minutes, and deep uses 8-10 subquestions with a mandatory gap pass taking 30 or more minutes.

Can deep research run unattended overnight?▼

Yes, the workflow is designed for unattended execution. After the initial plan statement it never asks questions mid-run, notes agent failures in the Method section, and always writes a report file even if results are thin.

What sources can the research agents search?▼

Agents can search the web, documentation via Context7, arXiv and Hugging Face papers, the Hugging Face hub, and a local codebase through a read-only Explore agent. Lanes are auto-picked from the topic or set with the sources flag.

How are citations handled across multiple research agents?▼

Each agent returns locally numbered citations in a fixed packet format. The orchestrator renumbers citations globally during synthesis and deduplicates sources by URL so every claim traces to a unique source entry.

What are the limitations of the deep research workflow?▼

Fan-out is capped at 12 initial agents plus 4 gap-pass follow-ups, and every claim must trace to an agent-cited source or it is dropped. Narrow factual questions waste compute on deep tier and should use quick instead.
