About

This skill performs multi-source research by launching up to 10 parallel agents (Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) to quickly gather and synthesize information. Use it for any research-related request, such as "research X," "find information about," or "analyze trends." It decomposes questions into sub-tasks and delivers comprehensive results in 15-30 seconds.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when the user requests research or information gathering:

  • "Do research on X"
  • "Research this topic"
  • "Find information about X"
  • "Investigate this subject"
  • "Analyze trends in X"
  • "Current events research"
  • Any comprehensive information gathering request

How to Execute

Execute the /conduct-research slash command, which handles the complete workflow:

  1. Decomposing research questions into 3-10 sub-questions
  2. Launching up to 10 parallel research agents (perplexity, claude, gemini)
  3. Collecting results in 15-30 seconds
  4. Synthesizing findings with confidence levels
  5. Formatting comprehensive report with source attribution

Available Research Agents

  • All agents with "researcher" in their name in the agents directory.

Speed Benefits

  • Old approach: Sequential searches → 5-10 minutes
  • New approach: 10 parallel agents → Under 1 minute
