deep-research
Fast research that beats plain websearch — discovers what exists before searching specifics (Landscape Scan), catches recent releases within days/weeks (Recency Pulse + upstream supply chain), and runs parallel queries for multi-angle coverage. Good for everyday research and current-info questions. Use when user requests research, comparison, or "what's the latest on X". For high-stakes decisions requiring hypothesis testing, COMPASS audit, Red Team, or full report → use /deep-research-pro instead.
explain-concepts
Explains difficult concepts using master teaching methodologies (Feynman, Socratic, Cognitive Load, Dual Coding). Use when user asks to explain a concept, "I don't understand X", ELI5 requests, "what is X", "how does X work".
generate-creative-ideas
Creative problem-solving and ideation using SCAMPER, First Principles, Random Word, and AI-optimized techniques. Use when generating ideas, breaking creative blocks, brainstorming alternatives, or innovating.
