deepwave

A deep web-research command that investigates a topic across multiple angles and produces a longer synthesis. It offers quick, standard, and maximum research depths and asks questions to clarify the request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for complex or comprehensive research, topics with competing interpretations, and requests where you want to choose the depth and length of the resulting report.
Why use it?
It helps when a simple lookup is not enough and the topic needs broader coverage, source evaluation, or a chosen level of research effort.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deepwave scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Searchwave Deep

Topic: $ARGUMENTS

Deep web research with Opus synthesis — Quick (~70s) / Standard (~90s) / Max (~5-10min).


Phase 1: QA (~15 sec)

Use ONE AskUserQuestion call with 3-4 questions:

Question 1 (only if needed): Clarification Include if query has ambiguity OR broad scope needing focus.

Disambiguation (different meanings):

  • "Python" → programming language or snake?
  • "Mercury" → planet, element, or band?

Scope (same meaning, what to cover):

  • "home espresso" → machines? grinders? technique? beans? full setup?
  • "AI in gaming" → NPC behavior? dev tools? procedural generation?

Skip for focused queries:

  • "Python web frameworks" → clearly programming, clear scope
  • "Gaggia Classic Pro review" → specific enough

Question 2: Depth selection Always include:

"How deep should we go?"

- Quick (~1 min) — key facts, fast turnaround
- Standard (~2 min) — comprehensive research report
- Max (~5-10 min) — highest quality, multi-agent research, follow-up loop

Question 3: Length preference Always include. Show options based on tier:

"Preferred length?"

Quick tier options: 500 / 800 / 1200 words
Standard tier options: 800 / 1200 / 1500 words
Max tier options: 800 / 1200 / 1500+ words (1500+ means Opus may extend to ~2500 if valuable)

Question 4: Priority selection Always include, but GENERATE OPTIONS based on the specific query:

"What angle matters most?" (pick 1-2)

Generate 3-4 options relevant to THIS topic. Read the full query structure,
not just key terms — "shows like X" signals entertainment, "how X works" signals technical.

Examples:
- "terminal text display" → Configuration, How rendering works, Tools/solutions, Troubleshooting
- "sleep optimization" → Scientific research, Practical protocols, Products/tools, Recent findings
- "home espresso" → Equipment selection, Technique, Troubleshooting, Budget considerations
- "React state management" → Library comparison, Architecture patterns, Performance, Migration
- "shows like X" → Similar series, Themes/style, Behind the scenes, Critical reception

Always include one "Recent developments" option. NEVER include specific years in the description — just say "recent changes" or "latest approaches", not "2024-2025" or any year range.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deepwave is a command published in the GitHub repository rowbradley/searchwave (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,883 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
