Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Dispatch two sub-agents in parallel using the Agent tool. Prefer subagenttype: "research-agent"; fall back to subagenttype: "Explore" with thoroughness "very thorough" if the research-agent is not available. One researches the web for external context relevant to the current tas…
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Inspect the Agent Skill "research" from https://github.com/griffinwork40/agent-afk/blob/803066d4f1e0cd57e983658dc670d647fcd893c9/src/bundled-plugins/awa-bundled/skills/research/SKILL.md at commit 803066d4f1e0cd57e983658dc670d647fcd893c9. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

Coverage reporting
Both agents must end their response with a coverage assessment:
Coverage confidence: low / medium / high — how thoroughly could this domain be searched?Known gaps: what couldn't be accessed? (proprietary databases, paywalled papers, unpublished work, practitioner-only knowledge)Tacit knowledge risk: low / medium / high — is this a domain where critical knowledge is unwritten or not documented online?

Sub-agent contract
/contract
Dispatch two sub-agents in parallel using the Agent tool. Prefer subagent_type: "research-agent"; fall back to subagent_type: "Explore" with thoroughness "very thorough" if the research-agent is not available. One researches the web for external context relevant to the current task. The other inspects the local working directory for domain-relevant artifacts. Return a concise merged research brief highlighting relevant findings, conflicts, risks, and implications for the task.
Web research agent — always the same: search for external context, prior art, patterns, APIs, and comparable approaches relevant to the task. Domain-agnostic.
Local inspection agent — adapt to the domain:
| Domain | What to inspect |
|---|---|
software | Code, config files, package manifests, CI configs, test suites, git history, README/docs, existing patterns and conventions |
research | Papers (PDF/LaTeX), notes, data files, citation databases (.bib), lab notebooks, analysis scripts, prior drafts |
design | Design files (Figma exports, SVGs, mockups), brand guidelines, component libraries, user research docs, style guides |
business | Financial models, strategy docs, market research, pitch decks, competitive analyses, KPI dashboards, stakeholder maps |
| (other) | Scan the working directory for any files relevant to the stated domain — documents, data, config, scripts — and describe what you find |
When domain is unspecified, infer it: git repo → software; PDFs/LaTeX/.bib → research; design assets → design; spreadsheets/decks → business. If ambiguous, inspect broadly and note what you found.
Coverage reporting
Both agents must end their response with a coverage assessment:
- Coverage confidence: low / medium / high — how thoroughly could this domain be searched?
- Known gaps: what couldn't be accessed? (proprietary databases, paywalled papers, unpublished work, practitioner-only knowledge)
- Tacit knowledge risk: low / medium / high — is this a domain where critical knowledge is unwritten or not documented online?
When merging results, surface coverage gaps prominently. If both agents report low coverage, flag: "Low epistemic coverage — findings may be incomplete. Consider consulting domain practitioners or providing access to private sources."

dask
Distributed computing for larger-than-RAM pandas/NumPy workflows. Use when you need to scale existing pandas/NumPy code beyond memory or across clusters. Best for parallel file processing, distributed ML, integration with existing pandas code. For out-of-core analytics on single machine use vaex; for in-memory speed use polars.
