# Research Planner ## Overview Turns one research question into a run plan: sub-questions, which source skills to dispatch for each, a search budget, and the condition that ends the run. This skill produces a plan, not evidence — its output is consumed by the orchestrator, which then dispatches the actual source skills. ## Workflow 1. **Decompose the question into sub-questions.** Non-overlapping, each answerable somewhat independently. Budget the count to the question's actual complexity — don't manufacture 5 sub-questions for something that's really 1-2, and don't force a genuinely broad question into 1. - Simple fact-finding: 1-2 sub-questions. - Comparative ("X vs Y"): one sub-question per compared element, capped around 3. - Complex/open investigation: 3-5 sub-questions. 2. **Match each sub-question to source skills.** A sub-question can dispatch more than one source skill — pick by what kind of evidence would actually settle it, not by habit: - A claim about official specs/pricing/terms → official-source-research (+ web-research to find it if the URL isn't already known). - A claim about whether something actually works/ships → github-research (+ web-research for docs). - A claim about user sentiment/demand/pain points → reddit-research + social-research. - A claim about a launch/event → news-research (which itself traces to official-source-research when it finds a press-release root). - A claim resting on published research → academic-resear
