Documentation

README

Excerpt

/deep-research — Multi-source research with archive

Plans, executes, and synthesizes research from multiple sources. Archives the output so the corpus compounds.

Step 1 — Frame the question

Restate the research question in one tight sentence. If ambiguous, ask the user:

What's the decision this research will inform?
What's the minimum useful answer? (Saves over-researching.)
Any sources to prioritize or avoid?

Output: **Research question:** <one sentence>

Step 2 — Plan the sources

Pick from this menu based on the question type. Note which sources you'll hit and why.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
