research
Set up a recurring research watch on a topic, company, paper area, or product surface. Use when the user asks to monitor a field, track new papers, watch for updates, or set up alerts on a research area.
tools
Compare multiple sources on a topic and produce a grounded comparison matrix. Use when the user asks to compare papers, tools, approaches, frameworks, or claims across multiple sources.
research
Search past Feynman session transcripts to recover prior work, conversations, and research context. Use when the user references something from a previous session, asks "what did we do before", or when you suspect relevant past context exists.
