learn

Research any topic by gathering online resources and creating a comprehensive learning guide with RAG-optimized indexes.

Parse Arguments

const args = '$ARGUMENTS'.split(' ').filter(Boolean);
const depth = args.find(a => a.startsWith('--depth='))?.split('=')[1] || 'medium';
const topic = args.filter(a => !a.startsWith('--')).join(' ');

Input

Arguments: <topic> [--depth=brief|medium|deep]

• topic: Subject to research (required)
• --depth: Source gathering depth
  • brief: 10 sources (quick overview)
  • medium: 20 sources (default, balanced)
  • deep: 40 sources (comprehensive)

Research Methodology

Based on best practices from:

• Anthropic's Context Engineering
• DeepLearning.AI Tool Use Patterns
• Anara's AI Literature Reviews

1. Progressive Query Architecture

Use funnel approach to avoid noise from long query lists:

Broad Phase (landscape mapping):

"{topic} overview introduction"
"{topic} documentation official"

Focused Phase (core content):

"{topic} best practices"
"{topic} examples tutorial"
"{topic} site:stackoverflow.com"

Deep Phase (advanced, if depth=deep):

"{topic} advanced techniques"
"{topic} pitfalls mistakes avoid"
"{topic} 2025 2026 latest"

2. Source Quality Scoring

Multi-dimensional evaluation (max score: 100):

Factor	Weight	Max	Criteria
Authority	3x	30	Official docs (10), recognized expert (8), established site (6), blog (4), random (2)
Recency	2x	20	<6mo (10), <1yr (8), <2yr (6), <3yr (4), older (2)
Depth	2x	20	Comprehensive (10), detailed (8), overview (6), superficial (4), fragment (2)
Examples	2x	20	Multiple code examples (10), one example (6), no examples (2)
Uniqueness	1x	10	Unique perspective (10), some overlap (6), duplicate content (2)

Selection threshold: Top N sources by score (N = depth target)

3. Just-In-Time Retrieval

Don't pre-load all content (causes context rot):
