Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment. New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg. New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher, security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet). New template: research-brief-template.md. Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis. Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline: ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ultraplan-local
Deep implementation planning and research with interview, specialized agent swarms, external research, adversarial review, session decomposition, disciplined execution, and headless support. A local alternative to Anthropic's Ultraplan.
Design principle: Context Engineering — build the right context by orchestrating specialized agents. Each step in the pipeline (research -> plan -> execute) produces a structured artifact that the next step consumes.
Commands
| Command | Description | Model |
|---|---|---|
/ultraresearch-local |
Research — deep local + external research, produces structured brief | opus |
/ultraplan-local |
Plan — interview, explore, plan, review | opus |
/ultraexecute-local |
Execute — disciplined plan/session-spec executor with failure recovery | opus |
/ultraresearch-local modes
| Flag | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (default) | Interview + background research (local + external) + synthesis + brief |
--quick |
Interview (short) + inline research (no agent swarm) |
--local |
Only codebase analysis agents (skip external + Gemini) |
--external |
Only external research agents (skip codebase analysis) |
--fg |
All phases in foreground (blocking) |
Flags can be combined: --local --fg, --external --quick.
/ultraplan-local modes
| Flag | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (default) | Interview + background planning (non-blocking) |
--spec <path> |
Skip interview, use provided spec |
--research <brief> [brief2] |
Enrich planning with pre-built research brief(s) |
--fg |
All phases in foreground (blocking) |
--quick |
Interview + plan directly (no agent swarm) |
--export <pr|issue|markdown|headless> <plan> |
Generate shareable output from existing plan |
--decompose <plan> |
Split plan into self-contained headless sessions |
--research can combine with --spec, --fg, and --quick.
/ultraexecute-local modes
| Flag | Behavior |
|---|---|
| (default) | Execute plan — auto-detects Execution Strategy for multi-session |
--resume |
Resume from last progress checkpoint |
--dry-run |
Validate plan structure without executing |
--step N |
Execute only step N |
--fg |
Force foreground — run all steps sequentially, ignore Execution Strategy |
--session N |
Execute only session N from plan's Execution Strategy |

Architecture
Research: 8-phase workflow: Parse mode -> Interview -> Background transition -> Parallel research (5 local + 4 external + 1 bridge) -> Follow-ups -> Triangulation -> Synthesis + brief -> Stats.
Plan: 12-phase workflow: Parse mode -> Interview -> Background transition -> Codebase sizing -> Spec review -> Parallel exploration (6-8 agents) -> Deep-dives -> Synthesis -> Planning -> Adversarial review -> Present/refine -> Handoff.
Decompose: Parse plan -> Analyze step dependencies -> Group into sessions -> Identify parallel waves -> Generate session specs + dependency graph + launch script.
Execute: Parse plan -> Detect Execution Strategy -> Single-session (step loop) or multi-session (parallel waves via claude -p) -> Verification -> Report.
Pipeline: Research briefs feed into planning via --research. The planning orchestrator uses brief context to enrich exploration and skip redundant research.
