/interdeep:deep-research

Orchestrate a deep research session: decompose a query, search multiple sources, extract and evaluate content, synthesize findings, and persist the result.

Protocol

Execute these five phases in order. Adapt depth based on the mode (see Depth Modes below).

Phase 1: Orient

1. Use the research-planner agent to decompose the query into sub-queries with source routing.
2. Review the planner output: query_type, sub_queries (each with query, sources, priority), depth_recommendation, rationale.
3. If the user did not specify a depth mode, use the planner's depth_recommendation.

Phase 2: Search

For each sub-query, dispatch searches to the routed sources:

• Web search — call interject_search (interject plugin) or web_search_exa (interflux/exa plugin):

  mcp tool: interject_search
  args: { "query": "<sub_query>", "source": "exa", "max_results": 10 }
  

• Academic — call interject_search with "source": "arxiv".
• Knowledge base — call interknow_qmd__search or interknow_qmd__vector_search (interknow plugin) for local knowledge.
• Cached results — check intercache if available to avoid redundant fetches.

Collect URLs and snippets from all search results.

Phase 3: Extract

For each URL returned in Phase 2:

1. Call extract_content (interdeep MCP tool) for single URLs:

   mcp tool: extract_content
   args: { "url": "<url>", "include_metadata": true }
   

2. For batches (5+ URLs), use extract_batch:

   mcp tool: extract_batch
   args: { "urls": ["<url1>", "<url2>", ...], "max_concurrent": 5 }
   

3. Use the source-evaluator agent on each extraction result to score relevance and credibility.
4. Filter to sources where include_in_report is true.

Phase 4: Synthesize

1. If interlens is available, call detect_thinking_gaps to identify blind spots:

   mcp tool: detect_thinking_gaps
   args: { "context": "<research summary so far>" }
   

2. If gaps are found and depth mode is deep, run additional searches targeting the gaps.
3. Pass evaluated findings to the report-compiler agent.
4. Alternatively, call compile_report (interdeep MCP tool) for a structured markdown report:

   mcp tool: compile_report
   args: {
     "title": "<report title>",
     "query": "<original query>",
     "findings": [...],
     "sources": [...]
   }
   

5. If intersynth is available, use it for additional synthesis passes.
