Deep-research engine adapter output
Fixture: a
/deep-researchin-context report reduced into the research-brief schema by the--engine deep-researchadapter (Step 4). Models the target the adapter must hit; not real engine output.
Executive Summary
Delegating the external phase to the built-in /deep-research workflow is a
viable opt-in engine that supplies fan-out and cited claim-verification for free.
Confidence is medium-high on the mechanism but lower on availability, because the
workflow exposes no positive "is-enabled" probe. The load-bearing caveat is
provenance: structural validity does not certify that the cited URLs are real, so
a swarm fallback plus a human URL spot-check stay mandatory.
Dimensions
Engine mechanism -- Confidence: high
External findings:
/deep-researchis a built-in dynamic workflow reachable only by prose instruction, with no programmatic API (https://code.claude.com/docs/workflows).- Its report lands in-context with no on-disk artifact, so the adapter must transform what is already in the turn (https://code.claude.com/docs/commands).
Fallback ergonomics -- Confidence: high
External findings:
- There is no positive availability probe; only
disableWorkflows/CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_WORKFLOWSoff-switches and a 2.1.154 version floor are documented (https://code.claude.com/docs/skills). - Disabled-workflow behavior under
claude -pis undocumented, so the post-hoc presence check must be robust to every failure manifestation (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/52272).
