Research technical solutions, analyze architectures, gather requirements thoroughly. Use for technology evaluation, best practices research, solution design, scalability/security/maintainability analysis.
Fast codebase scouting using parallel agents. Use for file discovery, task context gathering, quick searches across directories. Supports internal (Explore) and external (Gemini/OpenCode) agents.
Analyze images/audio/video with Gemini API (better vision than Claude). Generate images (Imagen 4), videos (Veo 3). Use for vision analysis, transcription, OCR, design extraction, multimodal AI.
Manage MCP servers - discover, analyze, execute tools/prompts/resources. Use for MCP integrations, intelligent tool selection, multi-server management, context-efficient capability discovery.
Brainstorm solutions with trade-off analysis and brutal honesty. Use for ideation, architecture decisions, technical debates, feature exploration, feasibility assessment, design discussions.
Review code quality, receive feedback with technical rigor, verify completion claims. Use before PRs, after implementing features, when claiming task completion. Includes scout-based edge case detection.
Debug systematically with root cause analysis before fixes. Use for bugs, test failures, unexpected behavior, performance issues, call stack tracing, multi-layer validation.
Systematic debugging framework ensuring root cause investigation before fixes. Includes four-phase debugging process, backward call stack tracing, multi-layer validation, and verification protocols. Use when encountering bugs, test failures, unexpected behavior, performance issues, or before claiming work complete.
