Research Orchestration

Overview

Orchestrates 5-10 parallel research agents for comprehensive, multi-source research. Achieves up to 90% faster results compared to sequential research through concurrent execution.

Research Depths

Depth Agent Count Use Case
Shallow 5 Quick fact-finding, simple queries
Medium 7 Standard research, moderate complexity
Deep 10 Comprehensive analysis, complex queries

Process Flow

  1. Plan: Decompose query into independent sub-queries
  2. Dispatch: Run 5-10 research agents in parallel
  3. Synthesize: Merge findings, identify consensus and conflicts
  4. Validate: Cross-reference against codebase for accuracy

Sources

  • Codebase: source files, patterns, implementations
  • Documentation: README, JSDoc, inline comments
  • Configuration: package.json, tsconfig, CI/CD configs

Confidence Scoring

Overall confidence is a weighted average of individual agent confidence scores, adjusted by validation results. Below 70% triggers human review.

When to Use

  • /research [query] slash command
  • Before specification creation
  • When investigating unfamiliar parts of the codebase

Processes Used By

  • claudekit-research (primary consumer)
