SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Broad or ambiguous research questions often get shallow answers from a single-pass investigation. This Skill coordinates multiple parallel research agents across official documentation, codebase, and community sources, then merges findings into a deduplicated claim registry with conflict resolution and a completeness score. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Agent Parallel Research: Dispatches 2-3 background agents sharded by source type (official docs, code, community) with a web tool fallback cascade. - Claim Registry & Scoring: Normalizes, deduplicates, and cross-verifies findings, then computes a 4-signal completeness score with confidence caps. - Conditional Validation & Debate: Triggers a validator micro-loop or escalates unresolved conflicts to a structured debate only when evidence is weak. - Use Case: Ask "Should we use Redis or PostgreSQL for caching?" and receive a report with consensus claims, divergence analysis, coverage matrix, and an evidence-backed recommendation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run deep research on your topic, for example: research the best patterns for multi-agent orchestration with a medium budget.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run multi-source research on a technical topic?▼

Invoke the deep-research skill with your topic, optionally setting --mode, --agents, --scope, and --budget flags. It dispatches parallel agents across official docs, code, and community sources, then synthesizes findings into a scored report.

What is the difference between deep research and a best practices audit?▼

Deep research produces a discovery synthesis with a claim registry and coverage score for open questions. A best-practices audit produces a conformance judgment with verdicts and gaps against standards. Use deep research for 'what are the approaches' questions.

How does the budget flag control research cost?▼

The --budget flag accepts low, medium, or high. Low runs one inline agent without debate, medium runs 2-3 parallel agents with automatic debate, and high runs 3 agents with forced debate, scaling token cost accordingly.

What happens when research agents find conflicting information?▼

Conflicting claims are resolved by evidence weight, with official documentation ranked above community opinion. Unresolvable contradictions enter a divergence list, triggering a validator micro-loop or escalation to a structured debate before the final report.

When should I not use deep research?▼

Avoid it for code reviews, bug fixes, or pure implementation tasks, which have dedicated skills. Single-dimension intents like code-only tracing or bounded option ranking are better served by narrower specialized skills.
