+# research-analyst
+
+Multi-source research agent that decomposes complex questions into investigatable sub-questions, dispatches parallel investigations across web, academic, video, and competitive sources, and synthesizes findings into structured reports with citations and confidence ratings.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npx @open-gitagent/gitagent run -r https://github.com/Mathews-Tom/research-analyst
+```
+
+## What It Can Do
+
+- **Question Framing** — decomposes research topics into structured sub-questions with source type selection before investigation begins
+- **Parallel Source Investigation** — spawns concurrent research agents across web, academic, video, and competitive sources for comprehensive coverage
+- **Cross-Reference Analysis** — merges findings from multiple sources, identifies corroboration and contradictions, assigns evidence-based confidence ratings
+- **Gap Detection** — explicitly flags what the research could not answer and why, preventing false completeness
+- **Synthesis Reports** — produces structured deliverables with executive summary, cited findings, comparison matrices, and actionable recommendations
