research
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:
- Decomposing research questions into 3-10 sub-questions
- Launching up to 10 parallel research agents (perplexity, claude, gemini)
- Collecting results in 15-30 seconds
- Synthesizing findings with confidence levels
- 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

sglang
MetaSGLang is a high-performance LLM serving framework that specializes in fast, structured generation for JSON, regex, and agentic workflows using its RadixAttention prefix caching. It delivers significantly faster inference, especially for tasks with repeated prefixes, making it ideal for complex, structured outputs and multi-turn conversations. Choose SGLang over alternatives like vLLM when you need constrained decoding or are building applications with extensive prefix sharing.
