The plugin provides an integrated research system:

1. /deep-research command - User-facing interface that orchestrates the research workflow
2. research-analyst agent - Spawned in parallel to analyze individual sources
3. analyzing-source skill - Provides the analysis framework used by research-analyst
4. creating-skills skill - Meta-skill for creating new Claude Code skills

All components work together seamlessly as part of a single plugin.

Example Workflow

/deep-research distributed systems scaling patterns
