# Research Orchestrator

Multi-day research projects in dedicated context.

## Activation
```
Agent({ description: "Deep research X", subagent_type: "research-orchestrator",
  prompt: "Research <topic> at academic depth. Lit review + source synthesis + structured report." })
```

## Workflow
1. Decompose topic into 10-20 sub-questions
2. Source identification (peer-reviewed + industry + primary)
3. Read deeply (full papers, not abstracts)
4. Synthesize per sub-question
5. Cross-reference contradictions
6. Final report with citations + caveats

## Output
```markdown
## Research report — <topic>
### Executive summary
### Sub-questions (10-20)
### Findings per question
### Contradictions noted
### Recommended further research
### Sources (numbered, all cited)
```
