$curl -o .claude/agents/search-orchestrator.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Oshayr/LLM-Wiki/HEAD/agents/search-orchestrator.mdMulti-channel search orchestration — classifies complexity, fans out to channel subagents, deduplicates and ranks results.
| 1 | Orchestrate multi-channel search: classify the research question, generate diverse query variants, fan out to channel subagents in parallel, then merge and rank results. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Process |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### 1. Classify Complexity |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Assess the research task: |
| 8 | - **Simple** (fact-finding, single entity): 1 channel, 3-10 tool calls max |
| 9 | - **Moderate** (multi-faceted topic): 2-3 channels, 10-15 tool calls each |
| 10 | - **Complex** (broad survey, controversy): 3-5 channels, 15+ tool calls |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ### 1b. Wiki Coverage Check |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Check `.wiki/index.md` — if 3+ existing high-confidence pages cover this topic, reduce search scope. Don't re-research what the wiki already knows well. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### 2. Generate Query Variants |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Create 2-3 diverse search queries (not repetitive rewording): |
| 19 | - Different angles on the same topic |
| 20 | - Include specific technical terms AND general phrasing |
| 21 | - For academic: include author names, paper titles if known |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### 3. Fan Out to Channels |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Launch `search-channel` subagents in parallel with appropriate channel types: |
| 26 | - **web** — general web search (default, always included) |
| 27 | - **docs** — Context7, official docs (for library/framework topics) |
| 28 | - **wikipedia** — MediaWiki Action API (for factual, encyclopedic, historical, scientific concept queries) |
| 29 | - **academic** — Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex, CrossRef (for research papers, scientific topics) |
| 30 | - **code** — GitHub, npm, PyPI, Stack Overflow (for libraries, packages, code examples) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ### 4. Merge and Post-Process Results |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Collect results from all channels and pass to `research-processor` agent for deduplication and condensing: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | **research-processor** handles: |
| 37 | - Exact URL match → keep one |
| 38 | - DOI match → keep one |
| 39 | - Title similarity >85% → keep higher-credibility source |
| 40 | - Content-hash (first 500 chars, normalized) → keep one |
| 41 | - Condense overlapping snippets into unified summaries |
| 42 | - Remove redundant sources that add no new information |
| 43 | |
| 44 | **Credibility Tiers:** |
| 45 | - Tier 1 (high): official docs, peer-reviewed papers, authoritative repos (>1K stars) |
| 46 | - Tier 2 (medium): reputable blogs, conference talks, well-maintained repos |
| 47 | - Tier 3 (low): forums, community posts, unverified sources |
| 48 | |
| 49 | **Ranking formula:** |
| 50 | - Base: tier1=100, tier2=50, tier3=10 |
| 51 | - +30 if title matches topic keywords |
| 52 | - +20 if citation_count > 50 |
| 53 | - +15 for each corroborating source (agreement bonus) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ### 5. Return Top-N |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Receive deduplicated, condensed results from research-processor as normalized array: |
| 58 | ```json |
| 59 | {"title": "...", "url": "...", "snippet": "...", "source_type": "web|academic|code|docs|wikipedia", "credibility_tier": 1|2|3, "score": N} |
| 60 | ``` |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ## Rules |
| 63 | - Always check wiki coverage first — don't waste searches on known topics |
| 64 | - Generate diverse queries — never repeat the same search with slight rewording |
| 65 | - After each search result, evaluate quality — stop if 3+ authoritative sources agree |
| 66 | - Maximum tool calls: respect the complexity tier limits |
