24 Specialized Research Agents

AI Research Assistant for the Complete Research Lifecycle

"Beyond Modal: Creative alternatives, not obvious choices"

How Agents Work

Agents are automatically triggered by keywords and context, dispatched via the Task tool for specialized research tasks.

Auto-detect research context from your conversation

Parallel execution when tasks are independent

Checkpoint integration ensures human decisions

9 Agent Categories

Organized by research lifecycle stage and function

A

Foundation

Research questions, theory, paradigm foundations

3agents
B

Literature & Evidence

Literature search, quality appraisal

2agents

Model Routing by Complexity

Agents use appropriate models based on task complexity:

HIGH

Opus

13agents

Complex decisions, theory, orchestration

MEDIUM

Sonnet

9agents

Standard research tasks, screening

LOW

Haiku

2agents

Quick validation, RAG building

Agent Invocation

Agents are triggered automatically by keywords or manually via Task tool:

Task Tool Pattern
Task(
  subagent_type="diverga:a1",
  model="opus",
  prompt="Refine research question using FINER criteria"
)

Parallel Execution Groups

Multiple agents can run simultaneously when tasks are independent:

Research Design

A1 + A2 + A5

Question, theory, paradigm

Literature & Evidence

B1 + B2

Search, appraisal

Publication Prep

G1 + G2 + G5

Journal match, writing, AI audit

SR Pipeline

I0 + I1 + I2 + I3

Orchestration, retrieval, screening, RAG
