Commands & Interaction

The research product is meant to be driven from the Orchestrator session inside Claude Code.

Core Commands

Command	Purpose
/research init <name> <description>	Initialize a research project in the current directory
/research status	Show current stage and gate configuration
``/research gate <stage> <human	auto
``/research gate all <human	auto
/handoff	Write resumable session context to .omr/research/HANDOFF.md
autopilot	Advance across research stages
ralph	Loop inside the current stage until completion criteria are met
ultrawork	Run independent research tasks in parallel

Gate Semantics

Gate	Meaning
human	wait for explicit approval
auto	continue automatically
default	use the repo's default gate for that stage

Typical Session Pattern

1. /research init
2. describe the research direction
3. run autopilot
4. adjust gates when needed
5. use ralph or ultrawork for focused stage work
6. use /handoff before ending the session

Notes

• autopilot controls stage-to-stage progression
• ralph controls within-stage retry / fix loops
• ultrawork controls parallel independent work
• these three are orthogonal and can be combined
