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

  1. Define a clear research question and create a dedicated folder for the topic.
  2. Use the subagent tasking workflow to spawn up to 3 subagents per subtopic, each saving findings to research_[topic]/findings_[subtopic].md.
  3. 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.
