SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Investigate complex questions by decomposing into sub-tasks, delegating to the explore agent in parallel, and synthesizing findings into a structured report. Use for codebase architecture questions, cross-file analysis, and general Q&A that requires multi-source investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decompose complex research questions into actionable sub-tasks.
  • Delegate sub-tasks to the explore agent for parallel execution.
  • Synthesize findings into a structured, report-ready document.
  • Use case: understand a software architecture by aggregating information from multiple files and sources.

Quick Start

Ask a complex question to start the decomposed exploration and have the AI generate a structured report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate complex codebase architecture questions across multiple files?

Codebase architecture investigation works by decomposing questions into actionable sub-tasks, delegating them to an explore agent for parallel execution, and synthesizing findings into a structured, report-ready document.

What is the best way to run parallel research workflows for software engineering inquiries?

Running parallel research workflows is best achieved by decomposing your question, delegating sub-tasks to an exploration agent simultaneously, and synthesizing the multi-source findings into a structured report.

Can I use this approach for read-only investigation across external sources and codebases?

Yes, you can use this approach for read-only investigation across both the codebase and external sources, coordinating end-to-end research workflows to synthesize multi-source inquiries into a structured report.

How do I generate a structured report from cross-file analysis and multi-source research?

To generate a structured report from cross-file analysis, decompose your research question, delegate sub-tasks to an explore agent in parallel, and synthesize the aggregated findings into a report-ready document.

When should I avoid delegating sub-tasks to an explore agent for research synthesis?

You should avoid delegating sub-tasks to an explore agent for research synthesis when your inquiry is simple enough to answer directly, as this approach requires a delegation mechanism and parallel task orchestration designed for complex, multi-source investigations.
