# `/research-council` — Expert Research Council
Launch a panel of specialized AI experts to research a topic in depth. Each expert searches the
web, reads your code, and produces a structured report. A merger agent consolidates everything
into actionable recommendations.
**Why a panel instead of one long prompt:** a single agent asked to "consider all angles"
produces one voice wearing several hats, and it converges on its own first idea. Separate agents
with separate contexts genuinely disagree — and the disagreements are the valuable part. Keep
them in the output; do not average them away.
## Modes
### `new <topic>` — full research from scratch
1. Select the experts relevant to the topic (not all of them — see below).
2. Each expert: web research + code analysis + structured report.
3. Merge all reports into a consensus view.
4. Output: consolidated report + implementation plan.
### `analyze <path>` — analyze existing research documents
1. Read every file in the given path.
2. Score each document (1-100).
3. Extract the key ideas, discard the filler.
4. Merge into consensus + plan.
### `merge <report1> <report2> …` — merge specific reports
### `plan <consolidated_report>` — generate an implementation plan from a report
## Expert panel
Pick the experts that fit the question. A panel of four sharp, relevant experts beats ten where
six are padding — every irrelevant expert adds confident noise the merger has to filter.
