Parallel Subagent Search Architecture

CRITICAL: Use parallel subagents to execute all searches simultaneously. This maintains context cohesion within each search domain and allows for faster, more comprehensive results.

Subagent Configuration

Launch 8 parallel subagents - one for each query permutation:

| Subagent | Source | MCP | Purpose | |----------|--------|-----|---------| | 1 | Support Phone Transcripts | Data Warehouse | Search phone call transcripts | | 2 | Support Chat Transcripts | Data Warehouse | Search messaging transcripts | | 3 | Sales Call Transcripts | Data Warehouse | Search sales call transcripts | | 4 | Slack #your-churn-alerts-channel | Slack | Search churn threat discussions | | 5 | Slack #your-retention-channel | Slack | Search retention escalations | | 6 | Slack #your-feedback-intake-channel | Slack | Search feedback intake | | 7 | Internal Docs | Knowledge Base | Search internal documentation | | 8 | Product Demand Tracker | Data Warehouse | Search structured product requests from sales reps |

Subagent Instructions

When executing a search for topic <TOPIC> with time period <DAYS> days, launch all 8 subagents in parallel using the subagent tool.

Search Workflow

1) Clarify the Research Question

Before launching subagents, ask clarifying questions:

• What specific topic or feature are you researching?
• What time period is relevant? (default: last 90 days)
• Are there specific customer segments to focus on?
• What type of insights are you looking for?

2) Launch Parallel Subagents

Execute all 8 subagents simultaneously by making multiple subagent tool calls in the same message. Replace <TOPIC> and <DAYS> with the actual values.

Example invocation pattern:

Make 8 parallel subagent calls with:
- summary: true (to get concise results)
- extensions: limited to relevant MCP for each subagent
- instructions: as specified above for each subagent

3) Synthesize Results

After all subagents return, synthesize their findings into a comprehensive report.

Tips for Effective Searches

Data Warehouse Query Tips

• Use ILIKE for case-insensitive matching
• Use multiple OR conditions for synonyms
• Filter by date range to keep results manageable
• A medium-sized warehouse is recommended for transcript searches

Slack Search Tips

• Search for both the feature name and common misspellings
• Look for emoji reactions to gauge sentiment
• Check thread context for full picture

Knowledge Base Search Tips

• Search for both formal feature names and colloquial terms
• Look for research reports, PRDs, and retrospectives

---

Output Guidelines

IMPORTANT: Always display reports directly in chat, never save to files.

• Show the synthesized report in the chat response so the user can review and iterate
• Do NOT save reports to the skills folder or any other location
• Do NOT create markdown files with the results
• The user may want to refine the search, adjust filters, or ask follow-up questions
• Only save to a file if the user explicitly requests it (e.g., "save this to a file")

Anti-patterns

• ❌ Don't run searches sequentially; always use parallel subagents
• ❌ Don't skip any of the 8 data sources
• ❌ Don't report raw data without synthesis
• ❌ Don't skip the clarifying questions
• ❌ Don't assume table schemas; the queries above are validated
• ❌ Don't save reports to files automatically - always show in chat first
