bash

/spec:tech-research "<topic>" [options]

Thinking Modes

Mode	Token Budget	Depth	Use Case
`think`	10,000	Standard	Quick research, overviews
`think-hard`	20,000	Enhanced	Detailed comparisons
`think-harder`	30,000	Structured	Complex topics, decisions
`ultrathink`	50,000	Maximum	Critical analysis, academic

Core Options

Option	Short	Description	Example

`--output`	`-o`	Output file	`-o analysis.md`
`--format`	`-f`	Output format	`-f json`
`--mcp`		MCP tools to use	`--mcp "context7,sequential"`

Research Options

Option	Short	Description	Example
`--depth`	`-d`	Search depth (quick/standard/deep/exhaustive)	`-d deep`
`--template`	`-t`	Report template	`-t academic`
`--confidence`	`-c`	Confidence threshold (0-1)	`-c 0.9`
`--sources`		Include citations	`--sources`
`--diagrams`		Generate diagrams	`--diagrams`
`--language`	`-l`	Output language	`-l ja`

Tool Priorities

ALWAYS prioritize mcp__serena__ for codebase analysis:

Codebase Intelligence (Serena MCP First)

•mcp__serena__search_for_pattern - Find implementation patterns
•mcp__serena__find_symbol - Understand architecture
•mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview - Architecture-aware recommendations
•mcp__serena__read_memory / write_memory - Research continuity

Research Enhancement (Other MCPs)

•mcp__context7__resolve-library-id - Library documentation
•mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking - Complex analysis

Templates

Template	Description
`overview`	Quick summary with key points
`comprehensive`	Full analysis with all aspects
`academic`	Research paper format with citations
`technical`	Implementation-focused with code

Examples

bash

# Quick overview
/spec:tech-research "Redis vs Memcached" -d quick -t overview

# Deep framework analysis
/spec:tech-research "React architecture patterns" -m think-harder -t comprehensive --diagrams

# Security research with high confidence
/spec:tech-research "Zero-trust security model" -m ultrathink -c 0.95 --sources

# Implementation research
/spec:tech-research "Implementing OAuth 2.0 with PKCE" -t technical -m think-hard

# Codebase-aware research
/spec:tech-research "State management options" --mcp "serena,context7" --codebase-context

# Japanese technical documentation
/spec:tech-research "Docker コンテナ化" -l ja -t technical
