# Deep-research engine adapter output
|
|
|
|
> Fixture: a `/deep-research` in-context report reduced into the research-brief
|
|
> schema by the `--engine deep-research` adapter (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-research` is 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_WORKFLOWS` off-switches and a 2.1.154 version floor are documented (https://code.claude.com/docs/skills).
|
|
- Disabled-workflow behavior under `claude -p` is undocumented, so the post-hoc presence check must be robust to every failure manifestation (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/52272).
