Research Skill

Orchestrate parallel scientist agents for comprehensive research workflows with optional AUTO mode for fully autonomous execution.

Overview

Research is a multi-stage workflow that decomposes complex research goals into parallel investigations:

1. Decomposition - Break research goal into independent stages/hypotheses
2. Execution - Run parallel scientist agents on each stage
3. Verification - Cross-validate findings, check consistency
4. Synthesis - Aggregate results into comprehensive report

Usage Examples

/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc <goal>                    # Standard research with user checkpoints
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc AUTO: <goal>              # Fully autonomous until complete
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc status                    # Check current research session status
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc resume                    # Resume interrupted research session
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc list                      # List all research sessions
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc report <session-id>       # Generate report for session

Quick Examples

/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc What are the performance characteristics of different sorting algorithms?
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc AUTO: Analyze authentication patterns in this codebase
/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc How does the error handling work across the API layer?

Research Protocol

Stage Decomposition Pattern

When given a research goal, decompose into 3-7 independent stages:

## Research Decomposition

**Goal:** <original research goal>

### Stage 1: <stage-name>
- **Focus:** What this stage investigates
- **Hypothesis:** Expected finding (if applicable)
- **Scope:** Files/areas to examine
- **Tier:** LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH

### Stage 2: <stage-name>
...

Parallel Scientist Invocation

Fire independent stages in parallel via Task tool:

// Stage 1 - Simple data gathering
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="haiku", prompt="[RESEARCH_STAGE:1] Investigate...")

// Stage 2 - Standard analysis
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="sonnet", prompt="[RESEARCH_STAGE:2] Analyze...")

// Stage 3 - Complex reasoning
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="opus", prompt="[RESEARCH_STAGE:3] Deep analysis of...")

Smart Model Routing

CRITICAL: Always pass model parameter explicitly!

Routing Decision Guide

Verification Loop

After parallel execution completes, verify findings:

// Cross-validation stage
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="sonnet", prompt="
[RESEARCH_VERIFICATION]
Cross-validate these findings for consistency:

Stage 1 findings: <summary>
Stage 2 findings: <summary>
Stage 3 findings: <summary>

Check for:
1. Contradictions between stages
2. Missing connections
3. Gaps in coverage
4. Evidence quality

Output: [VERIFIED] or [CONFLICTS:<list>]
")

AUTO Mode

AUTO mode runs the complete research workflow autonomously with loop control.

Loop Control Protocol

[RESEARCH + AUTO - ITERATION {{ITERATION}}/{{MAX}}]

Your previous attempt did not output the completion promise. Continue working.

Current state: {{STATE}}
Completed stages: {{COMPLETED_STAGES}}
Pending stages: {{PENDING_STAGES}}

Promise Tags

AUTO Mode Rules

1. Max Iterations: 10 (configurable)
2. Continue until: Promise tag emitted OR max iterations
3. State tracking: Persist after each stage completion
4. Cancellation: /oh-my-claudecode:cancel or "stop", "cancel"

AUTO Mode Example

/oh-my-claudecode:sciomc AUTO: Comprehensive security analysis of the authentication system

[Decomposition]
- Stage 1 (LOW): Enumerate auth-related files
- Stage 2 (MEDIUM): Analyze token handling
- Stage 3 (MEDIUM): Review session management
- Stage 4 (HIGH): Identify vulnerability patterns
- Stage 5 (MEDIUM): Document security controls

Parallel Execution Patterns

Independent Dataset Analysis (Parallel)

When stages analyze different data sources:

// All fire simultaneously
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="haiku", prompt="[STAGE:1] Analyze src/api/...")
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="haiku", prompt="[STAGE:2] Analyze src/utils/...")
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="haiku", prompt="[STAGE:3] Analyze src/components/...")

Hypothesis Battery (Parallel)

When testing multiple hypotheses:

// Test hypotheses simultaneously
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="sonnet", prompt="[HYPOTHESIS:A] Test if caching improves...")
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="sonnet", prompt="[HYPOTHESIS:B] Test if batching reduces...")
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="sonnet", prompt="[HYPOTHESIS:C] Test if lazy loading helps...")

Cross-Validation (Sequential)

When verification depends on all findings:

// Wait for all parallel stages
[stages complete]

// Then sequential verification
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:scientist", model="opus", prompt="
[CROSS_VALIDATION]
Validate consistency across all findings:
- Finding 1: ...
- Finding 2: ...
- Finding 3: ...
")

Concurrency Limit

Maximum 20 concurrent scientist agents to prevent resource exhaustion.

If more than 20 stages, batch them:

Batch 1: Stages 1-5 (parallel)
[wait for completion]
Batch 2: Stages 6-7 (parallel)

Session Commands

Tag Extraction

Scientists use structured tags for findings. Extract them with these patterns:

Finding Tags

[FINDING:<id>] <title>
<evidence and analysis>
[/FINDING]

[EVIDENCE:<finding-id>]
- File: <path>
- Lines: <range>
- Content: <relevant code/text>
[/EVIDENCE]

[CONFIDENCE:<level>] # HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
<reasoning for confidence level>

Extraction Regex Patterns

// Finding extraction
const findingPattern = /\[FINDING:(\w+)\]\s*(.*?)\n([\s\S]*?)\[\/FINDING\]/g;

// Evidence extraction
const evidencePattern = /\[EVIDENCE:(\w+)\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/EVIDENCE\]/g;

// Confidence extraction
const confidencePattern = /\[CONFIDENCE:(HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW)\]\s*(.*)/g;

// Stage completion
const stageCompletePattern = /\[STAGE_COMPLETE:(\d+)\]/;

// Verification result
const verificationPattern = /\[(VERIFIED|CONFLICTS):?(.*?)\]/;

Evidence Window

When extracting evidence, include context window:

[EVIDENCE:F1]
- File: /src/auth/login.ts
- Lines: 45-52 (context: 40-57)
- Content:

// Lines 45-52 with 5 lines context above/below

[/EVIDENCE]

Quality Validation

Findings must meet quality threshold:

Figure Embedding Protocol

Scientists generate visualizations using this marker:

[FIGURE:path/to/figure.png]
Caption: Description of what the figure shows
Alt: Accessibility description
[/FIGURE]

Report generator embeds figures:

## Visualizations

![Figure 1: Description](figures/figure-1.png)
*Caption: Description of what the figure shows*

![Figure 2: Description](figures/figure-2.png)
*Caption: Description of what the figure shows*

Figure Types

Configuration

Optional settings in .claude/settings.json:

{
  "omc": {
    "research": {
      "maxIterations": 10,
      "maxConcurrentScientists": 5,
      "defaultTier": "MEDIUM",
      "autoVerify": true,
      "generateFigures": true,
      "evidenceContextLines": 5
    }
  }
}

Cancellation

/oh-my-claudecode:cancel

Or say: "stop research", "cancel research", "abort"

Progress is preserved in .omc/research/{session-id}/ for resume.

Troubleshooting

Stuck in verification loop?

• Check for conflicting findings between stages
• Review state.json for specific conflicts
• May need to re-run specific stages with different approach

Scientists returning low-quality findings?

• Check tier assignment - complex analysis needs HIGH tier
• Ensure prompts include clear scope and expected output format
• Review if research goal is too broad

AUTO mode exhausted iterations?

• Review state to see where it's stuck
• Check if goal is achievable with available data
• Consider breaking into smaller research sessions

Missing figures in report?

• Verify figures/ directory exists
• Check [FIGURE:] tags in findings
• Ensure paths are relative to session directory
