description	Search the web for current events relevant to the Regen ecosystem

Search the web for current events relevant to the Regen ecosystem and synthesize findings into a structured report.

Behavior

1. Read settings.json to get the default topic list from currentEvents.topics
2. Parse arguments:
   • --topic "custom topic" — search for a specific topic instead of defaults
   • --include-defaults — when used with --topic, also search the default topics
   • --creative — generate 2-3 additional search terms based on your understanding of the current Regen context and what might surface interesting connections
   • --deep — after the first round of results, generate 2-3 follow-up queries targeting gaps, contradictions, or interesting threads in the initial findings
   • --character name — voice the report through a character persona (loads the character skill at .claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md)
3. Execute web searches using the WebSearch tool for each applicable topic
4. If --creative is set, generate novel search terms and search those too
5. If --deep is set, review all results so far and generate follow-up queries
6. Synthesize all results into a structured report organized by topic area
7. If --character is specified, load the character skill and voice the entire report
8. Render the report to the terminal — do not save to file unless the user requests it
