What it does
Ask a question and get a written report where each important claim is tied to a source and a quote you can check. It leaves a full run folder behind, so you can see how the answer was reached. It uses many tokens and scrapes websites, so expect a longer wait and bigger usage. You choose a size: quick, standard or deep. It clarifies the question, sets a plan for you to approve, then sends several research angles out in parallel. Scripts number the sources and check quotes. Central claims are confirmed with other sources, and supporting claims are matched to their quote. Weak claims are cut or marked. The result is a short answer or a report.
