name	research-orchestration
description	Parallel research agent orchestration dispatching 5-10 concurrent agents for comprehensive multi-source research with synthesis and validation.

Process Flow

1. Plan: Decompose query into independent sub-queries
2. Dispatch: Run 5-10 research agents in parallel
3. Synthesize: Merge findings, identify consensus and conflicts
4. Validate: Cross-reference against codebase for accuracy

Sources

• Codebase: source files, patterns, implementations
• Documentation: README, JSDoc, inline comments
• Configuration: package.json, tsconfig, CI/CD configs

Confidence Scoring

Overall confidence is a weighted average of individual agent confidence scores, adjusted by validation results. Below 70% triggers human review.

When to Use

• /research [query] slash command
• Before specification creation
• When investigating unfamiliar parts of the codebase
