FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve external documentation for a complex technical query?

External documentation retrieval is handled by decomposing your complex query into independent search facets, allowing multiple document-specialist agents to gather comprehensive information in parallel.

How does parallel search for external context work?

Parallel search works by deploying multiple document-specialist agents concurrently, each targeting a specific facet of your decomposed query to fetch and aggregate external information efficiently.

Do I need Python to use parallel document-specialist agents for external search?

Yes, you need Python and web search libraries installed, as the parallel document-specialist agents rely on the subagent.py dependency to execute concurrent external searches.

What is the best way to gather context on a new technology across different facets?

The best way to gather context on a new technology is using facet decomposition, which breaks down your topic into individual search facets for parallel document-specialist agents to retrieve comprehensive external documentation.

Why decompose queries into search facets for external documentation lookup?

Decomposing queries into search facets ensures that parallel document-specialist agents can target individual aspects of your topic simultaneously, preventing information gaps and yielding comprehensive external documentation.

Can I use external-context for looking up specific external documentation?

Yes, external-context fetches and aggregates information from external sources by executing parallel document-specialist agents, making it ideal for looking up specific external documentation for software engineering queries.
