# Research Agent Spawning
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
System for spawning isolated sub-agents to handle research tasks asynchronously
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
🔄 **In Progress** — Designing spawn and report workflows
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
- Spawn sub-agents for independent research tasks
|
|
- Parallel execution for multiple research queries
|
|
- Automatic summarization and reporting back
|
|
- Resource management (don't overwhelm system)
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Ideas
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Cron-Based Research
|
|
- Spawn agents via cron jobs
|
|
- Results delivered via Discord
|
|
- Good for: scheduled research, news monitoring
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: On-Demand Spawning
|
|
- User triggers: "/research [topic]"
|
|
- Spawns isolated session
|
|
- Reports back when complete
|
|
- Good for: deep dives, ad-hoc questions
|
|
|
|
### Option 3: Persistent Research Channel
|
|
- Dedicated Discord channel
|
|
- All research requests go there
|
|
- Agent monitors and spawns workers
|
|
- Good for: continuous research, collaborative
|
|
|
|
## Current Exploration
|
|
Testing in <#1468257895152881796> channel (shared with #projects)
|
|
|
|
## Questions to Answer
|
|
- [ ] How many concurrent agents?
|
|
- [ ] How to handle long-running research?
|
|
- [ ] Where to store results? (Obsidian? SQLite?)
|
|
- [ ] How to prevent spawn loops?
|
|
- [ ] Cost tracking per agent?
|

|
## Next Steps
|
|
- [ ] Test basic spawning mechanism
|
|
- [ ] Design result reporting workflow
|
|
- [ ] Document resource limits
