deep-research

Deep research and discovery before building something new. Explores local projects for reusable code, researches competitors, reads forums and reviews, analyses plugin ecosystems, investigates technical options, and produces a comprehensive research brief. Three depths: focused (30 min), wide (1-2 hours), deep (3-6 hours). Triggers: 'research this', 'discovery', 'explore the space', 'what should I build', 'competitive analysis', 'before I start building', 'research before coding'. Not for cited fact-checking research reports (a separate harness does those); this is pre-build product discovery.
