Deep Research – Citation-Backed Analysis

Core Purpose

Deliver citation-backed, verified research reports through a structured pipeline with source credibility scoring, evidence persistence, and progressive context management.

Autonomy Principle: Operate independently. Infer assumptions from context. Only stop for critical errors.

Decision Tree

Request Analysis
├── Simple lookup? → STOP: Use WebSearch
├── Debugging? → STOP: Use standard tools
└── Complex analysis needed? → CONTINUE

Mode Selection
├── Initial exploration → quick (3 phases, 2-5 min)
├── Standard research → standard (6 phases, 5-10 min) [DEFAULT]
├── Critical decision → deep (8 phases, 10-20 min)
└── Comprehensive review → ultradeep (8+ phases, 20-45 min)

Default assumptions:

Technical query = technical audience
Comparison = balanced perspective
