SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AutoResearch orchestrates the heavy-lift of discovering, collecting, and organizing web sources for a given topic, converting scattered information into structured topic folders for efficient curriculum development or research workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Orchestrated subagents that isolate planning, collection, and synthesis to maintain context integrity and enable scalable parallel work.
Topic-first project structure: creates 01_Research/{topic}/ with _meta/, sources/, and synthesis/ subfolders to track progress and support resumable workflows.
Flexible input handling: accepts topic text, URLs, and keywords to drive keyword expansion and targeted web scraping.

Quick Start

Provide a topic and optional seeds to initiate planning, collection, and synthesis, which creates 01_Research/{topic}/ and runs the full AutoResearch workflow.

What is the best way to organize collected web sources for curriculum development?▼

Organize web sources using a topic-first project structure that creates dedicated research folders containing meta, sources, and synthesis subfolders to track progress and support resumable workflows.

Can I use URLs and keywords as starting points for automated research planning?▼

Yes, flexible input handling accepts topic text, URLs, and keywords to drive keyword expansion and targeted web scraping for initiating the planning, collection, and synthesis workflow.

How does orchestrated subagent isolation help with web research?▼

Orchestrated subagents isolate planning, collection, and synthesis tasks to maintain context integrity and enable scalable parallel work during automated web research gathering.

Does automated research collection support resume-aware progress tracking?▼

Yes, the automated research workflow supports resume-aware progress tracking through structured topic folders and metadata subfolders that maintain state across collection and synthesis stages.

What are the limitations of using automated orchestrators for topic synthesis?▼

Automated topic synthesis relies on targeted web scraping and keyword expansion, meaning effectiveness depends on input seed quality and accessible web sources for structured evidence gathering.
