SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Searches multiple web sources, synthesizes findings, and produces cited research reports using delegated subagents. Use when the user asks to research a topic online, search the web, look something up, find current information, compare options, or produce a research report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and Save Research Plan: Organize all research files in a dedicated folder relative to the current working directory, e.g., mkdir research_[topic_name], to keep files organized.
  • Delegate to Research Subagents: For each subtopic, spawn research subagents with clear research questions, instruct them to write findings to research_[topic_name]/findings_[subtopic].md, and limit to 3-5 web searches per subtopic to keep results concise.
  • Synthesize Findings: Review all findings files saved locally, read them, and synthesize a comprehensive report that directly answers the research question with cited sources, noting gaps or limitations.

Quick Start

Ask me to research a topic online and I will create a research plan, run subagents, and deliver a synthesized report with citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web research and synthesize findings into a cited report?

Automate web research by delegating specialized subagents to gather sources, saving findings to local markdown files, and synthesizing a comprehensive report with citations. This coordinates multiple searches to produce a final cited document.

What is the best way to research a topic online and compare current information?

Research a topic online by creating a structured research plan, spawning subagents for each subtopic, and limiting to 3-5 web searches per subtopic. This gathers comparative analyses and current information efficiently.

How does subagent delegation work for web searches?

Subagent delegation assigns specific research questions to subagents for each subtopic. These subagents perform limited web searches and write results to designated local files, which are then reviewed and synthesized.

Do I need to define a research plan before starting web research?

Yes, you need a clearly defined research question and a subtopic plan before starting. The research plan organizes subagents and saves all findings files in a dedicated folder relative to your current working directory.

Can I organize web research files into a dedicated directory?

Yes, web research files are organized by creating a dedicated directory named research_[topic_name]. Subagents save individual findings to findings_[subtopic].md files within this folder to keep results structured.

What are the limitations of using automated subagents for literature synthesis?

Subagents are limited to 3-5 web searches per subtopic to keep results concise. The final synthesis will note any gaps or limitations in the findings, relying entirely on the gathered web sources.
