- # Research Orchestration

- ## Overview

- Orchestrates 5-10 parallel research agents for comprehensive, multi-source research. Achieves up to 90% faster results compared to sequential research through concurrent execution.

|-------|------------|----------|

| Shallow | 5 | Quick fact-finding, simple queries |

| Medium | 7 | Standard research, moderate complexity |

| Deep | 10 | Comprehensive analysis, complex queries |

## 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

## Processes Used By

- `claudekit-research` (primary consumer)
