research
This slash command initiates a structured research session that decomposes a user-specified topic into key subtopics, spawns parallel researcher subagents to conduct multiple web searches on authoritative sources from 2024-2025, and aggregates findings into organized research notes and a comprehensive synthesis report. Use this when needing thorough, multi-sourced investigation of complex topics with documented citations and quality source verification.
