[H1][DEEP-RESEARCH]

Dictum: Iterative dispatch with inter-round critique maximizes research coverage.

<br>

Conduct comprehensive topic research via parallel agent dispatch.

Workflow:

  1. §ORIENT — Execute 3 Exa searches via exa-tools skill, map landscape, extract facets
  2. §ROUND_1 — Dispatch 6-10 agents for breadth coverage via parallel-dispatch skill
  3. §CRITIQUE_1 — Filter findings, retain quality, build skeleton with gaps
  4. §ROUND_2 — Dispatch 6-10 agents to flesh out skeleton
  5. §CRITIQUE_2 — Synthesize holistically, deduplicate, produce final output

Dependencies:

  • exa-tools — Web search and code context queries
  • parallel-dispatch — Agent orchestration mechanics

Input:

  • Topic: Domain to research
  • OutputPath: Target file path (passed by invoking command, default: report.md)
  • Constraints: Context, scaffold, style from invoking skill

[CRITICAL]:

  • [ALWAYS] Main agent writes to OutputPath only—no other files.
  • [ALWAYS] Sub-agents RETURN structured text—main agent is sole file writer.
  • [NEVER] Sub-agents use Write, Edit, Bash, or create any files.

[1][ORIENT]

Dictum: Initial queries map landscape before dispatch.

<br>

Main agent executes exactly 3 Exa searches via exa-tools skill; these map topic structure.

Map domain landscape; identify facets for agent assignment.<br> Produce facet list (6-10 independent research areas) for Round 1.

[IMPORTANT]:

  • [ALWAYS] Execute 3 Exa searches via exa-tools skill before dispatch.
  • [ALWAYS] Extract facet boundaries from results.
  • [NEVER] Dispatch before orient completes.

[2][ROUND_1]

Dictum: Breadth via parallel dispatch—6-10 agents exploring independent facets.

<br>

Dispatch 6-10 sub-agents via parallel-dispatch. Assign each agent unique scope from orient facets.

Agent Count: Scale by task complexity (default: 8).

Agent Prompt:

Scope: [Specific facet from orient]
Objective: Research this facet comprehensively
Output: Return structured text (CRITICAL → FINDINGS → SOURCES)
Context: [Topic background, constraints]
Constraint: DO NOT write files—return text only

[CRITICAL]:

  • [ALWAYS] Dispatch ALL agents in ONE message block.
  • [ALWAYS] Include "DO NOT write files" constraint in every agent prompt.
  • [NEVER] Create overlapping scopes.

[3][CRITIQUE_1]

Dictum: Main agent builds skeleton—retains quality, identifies gaps.

<br>

Main agent (NOT sub-agent) processes Round 1 outputs.

| [INDEX] | [ACTION] | [CRITERIA] | | :-----: | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [1] | Remove | Lacks focus, duplicates content, missing sources, pre-2024, fails quality | | [2] | Retain | Addresses topic, includes sources, dates 2024-2025, converges across agents |

Skeleton: Build from retained → [Domain N]: [findings] + Gaps: + Depth-Targets:

[CRITICAL] Skeleton is first corpus—Round 2 fleshes it out.


[4][ROUND_2]

Dictum: Depth via parallel dispatch—same agent count, focused on skeleton gaps.

<br>

Dispatch 6-10 sub-agents (same count as Round 1) via parallel-dispatch.

Agent Assignment:

| [INDEX] | [TYPE] | [PURPOSE] | [COUNT] | | :-----: | ------- | --------------------------- | ------- | | [1] | Focused | Specific gaps from skeleton | 4-6 | | [2] | Wide | Broader context for areas | 2-4 |

Agent Prompt:

Scope: [Gap or depth-target from skeleton]
Objective: [Focused: fill gap | Wide: broaden context]
Output: Return structured text (CRITICAL → FINDINGS → SOURCES)
Context: [Skeleton content—build on, don't repeat]
Prior: [Relevant Round 1 findings]
Constraint: DO NOT write files—return text only

[CRITICAL]:

  • [ALWAYS] Same agent count as Round 1.
  • [ALWAYS] Include skeleton context.
  • [ALWAYS] Include "DO NOT write files" constraint in every agent prompt.

[5][CRITIQUE_2]

Dictum: Main agent synthesizes holistically—final corpus for downstream use.

<br>

Main agent (NOT sub-agent) compiles final research output and writes to OutputPath.

Integrate: Merge Round 2 → skeleton. Cross-reference rounds. Resolve conflicts (prioritize sourced, current, convergent).

Filter: Remove duplicates, out-of-scope content, superseded items, unresolved conflicts.

Write: Single file to OutputPath with structure:

  • ## [1][FINDINGS] — Synthesized research by domain
  • ## [2][CONFIDENCE] — High (convergent) | Medium (single-source) | Low (gaps)
  • ## [3][SOURCES] — All sources with attribution

[6][VALIDATION]

Dictum: Gates prevent incomplete synthesis.

<br>

[VERIFY]:

  • [ ] Orient: 3 Exa searches executed via exa-tools skill
  • [ ] Round 1: 6-10 agents in ONE message, all returned text (no file writes)
  • [ ] Critique 1: Skeleton built, gaps identified
  • [ ] Round 2: Same count, focused on skeleton, all returned text (no file writes)
  • [ ] Critique 2: Final synthesis, duplicates removed
  • [ ] Single file written to OutputPath by main agent only
