description	[WHAT] Deep Research Intelligence System — Unified research orchestration with recursive confidence, multi-perspective synthesis, and session management. [HOW] Routes based on query complexity: QUICK (brave/firecrawl), STANDARD (multi-tool), DEEP (valyu+oracle) [WHEN] Any research, search, or information gathering task [WHY] Eliminates decision fatigue - one entry point routes to optimal backend(s) Keywords: search, research, deep, oracle, sherlock, social, investigate, analyze

/search Tag Routing

Tag	Mode	Tools	Description
quick	⚡ Fast	brave-search, firecrawl	Web lookup, default mode
full	🔄 Standard	brave + firecrawl + valyu	Multi-source synthesis
deep	🐢 Recursive	valyu research	Confidence loops until 85%
max	🐢🐢 Team	spawn research team	Full team-based analysis
sherlock	🔍 OSINT	Sherlock Bytes protocol	Investigation mode
cdo	🧠 CDO	Multi-perspective overlay	MBTI + role personas

Usage:

/search quick "query"     # Fast web search
/search deep "query"      # Recursive until confident
/search sherlock "query"  # OSINT investigation
/search cdo               # Multi-perspective on context
