Investigate the following topic as a literature review: $@

Derive a short slug from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words). Use this slug for all files in this run.

Workflow

Plan — Outline the scope: key questions, source types to search (papers, web, repos), time period, expected sections, and a small task ledger plus verification log. Write the plan to outputs/.plans/<slug>.md. Present the plan to the user and confirm before proceeding.
Gather — Use the researcher subagent when the sweep is wide enough to benefit from delegated paper triage before synthesis. For narrow topics, search directly. Researcher outputs go to <slug>-research-*.md. Do not silently skip assigned questions; mark them done, blocked, or superseded.
Synthesize — Separate consensus, disagreements, and open questions. When useful, propose concrete next experiments or follow-up reading. Generate charts using Mermaid diagram syntax in markdown. Before finishing the draft, sweep every strong claim against the verification log and downgrade anything that is inferred or single-source critical.
