SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates structured web research by planning, delegating to research subagents, and synthesizing findings into a cohesive report.

Core Features & Use Cases

Planning a research plan and organizing subtopics
Delegating to specialized subagents with clear instructions
Aggregating findings, citing sources, and producing a final synthesis
Use Case: When researching a complex topic with diverse sources, spawn subagents to cover subtopics and produce a consolidated, well-cited report

Quick Start

Define a clear research question and create a dedicated folder for the topic.
Use the subagent tasking workflow to spawn up to 3 subagents per subtopic, each saving findings to research_[topic]/findings_[subtopic].md.
After all subagents finish, read the findings files and synthesize a comprehensive report with proper citations.

FAQPage Schema

How do I structure web research using multiple sources and subtopics?▼

Structured web research is organized by decomposing topics into subtopics, delegating research to subagents, and synthesizing findings into a cohesive report. Subagents cover subtopics and produce a consolidated, well-cited result.

How do I automate literature-backed report synthesis from web sources?▼

Automated report synthesis works by spawning up to 3 research subagents per subtopic to gather findings and save them to local files. After subagents finish, the files are read and synthesized into a comprehensive report with proper citations.

What's the best way to manage web searches per subtopic during research?▼

Managing web searches per subtopic requires limiting each subagent to 3-5 web searches. This approach ensures focused research while subagents save their findings to dedicated markdown files for later synthesis.

Can I use subagents to decompose and research complex topics?▼

Yes, subagents are used to decompose complex topics by spawning specialized agents with clear instructions. Each subagent handles a specific subtopic and writes findings to local files, enabling systematic synthesis.

Does structured web research work for topics requiring diverse sources?▼

Structured web research applies to topics requiring multiple sources and diverse perspectives. By spawning subagents to cover subtopics and aggregating findings with citations, it produces a consolidated literature-backed report.

Why do I need a dedicated folder when planning research with subagents?▼

A dedicated folder is needed to organize research plans and store findings files from subagents. Each subagent saves findings to a topic-specific markdown file, ensuring structured aggregation and synthesis into a final report.
