Conduct deep research on any topic using Gemini CLI via a spawned sub-agent. Uses your Google AI subscription instead of Claude tokens — perfect for long research tasks that would otherwise eat your Clawdbot usage.
When user says "Research: [topic]" or asks for deep research:
Before running any research, ask 2-3 quick questions to focus the work:
Start with the goal:
"Before I dive in - what's your goal here? Are you learning about this topic, making a decision, writing something, or just curious?"
Then adapt based on their answer:
If learning/curious:
If decision-making:
If writing/creating:
Keep it natural — 2-3 questions max. Don't interrogate.
Once you have context, use sessions_spawn to run the research:
sessions_spawn(
task: "Research: [FULL TOPIC WITH CONTEXT]
Use Gemini CLI to research this topic. Run:
gemini --yolo \"[RESEARCH PROMPT]\"
The research prompt should ask Gemini to cover:
1. Overview & Core Concepts - what is this, terminology, why it matters
2. Current State - latest developments, major players
3. Technical Deep Dive - how it works, mechanisms, key techniques
4. Practical Applications - real-world use cases, tools available
5. Challenges & Open Problems - technical, ethical, barriers
6. Future Outlook - trends, predictions, emerging areas
7. Resources - key papers, researchers, communities, courses
Save the output to: ~/clawd/research/[slug]/research.md
Be thorough (aim for 500+ lines). Include specific examples and citations.
IMPORTANT - When research is complete:
1. Send a wake event to notify the main agent immediately:
cron(action: 'wake', text: '🔬 Research complete: [TOPIC]. Key findings: [2-3 bullet points]. Full report: ~/clawd/research/[slug]/research.md', mode: 'now')
2. When asked to produce an announce message, reply exactly: ANNOUNCE_SKIP",
label: "research-[slug]"
)
Important: Include all context from your conversation in the task so the sub-agent understands the full picture.
You'll receive a wake with the research summary. Then:
