Does this skill require any external API configuration?

No, Multi-Search relies entirely on Claude Code's built-in tools like WebSearch and Task, making it ready to use out of the box.

Can I provide my own reference materials for the research?

Yes, the skill supports input via file paths (e.g., /multi-search @doc.md), direct text pasting, or explicitly defined research topics.

What format is the final research output?

The skill produces a structured folder containing a master overview document (000.Overview.md) and individual markdown reports for every researched sub-topic, all featuring consistent naming and internal linking.

How does Multi-Search handle redundant information between agents?

It implements a coordination mechanism where each research agent declares its intended keywords to the main agent. If a conflict is detected, the agent dynamically adjusts its focus to a unique angle.

What is the typical depth of a Multi-Search investigation?

Each sub-topic agent typically conducts 4 to 6 rounds of deep retrieval using WebSearch and WebFetch tools to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Productivity & Workflow

Conducts systematic, multi-topic deep research using parallel agents to generate structured documentation and actionable insights.

Multi-Search is a sophisticated research orchestration tool for Claude Code that automates the exploration of complex, multi-faceted subjects. By spawning multiple independent agents to perform parallel, 4-6 round deep-dives, it efficiently collects and synthesizes information from various sources while avoiding redundant efforts through an intelligent de-duplication mechanism. It is ideal for legal analysis, business intelligence, academic reviews, and technical feasibility studies, providing users with a comprehensive research knowledge base including an overview report and cross-linked deep-dive documents with inline citations.

Key Features

01Intelligent Deduplication: Coordinates keyword focus across active agents to prevent redundant search efforts.

02Parallel Agent Orchestration: Spawns independent agents to research multiple topics simultaneously for maximum efficiency.

03Inline Source Citation: Embeds verified links directly into the report narrative for immediate credibility and fact-checking.

04Structured Knowledge Base: Automatically generates a directory-based research repository with cross-linked navigation.

0556 GitHub stars

06Deep Iterative Retrieval: Performs 4-6 rounds of searching and fetching per topic to ensure thorough coverage.

Use Cases

01Gathering comprehensive technical requirements and best practices for complex software architecture projects.

02Analyzing market trends and competitor landscapes to support business strategy and investment decisions.

03Performing multi-jurisdictional legal research or complex regulatory compliance audits.
