Deliver capabilities as Markdown skill files synced to a local skills directory on startup. Expose slash commands (/deepresearch, /lit, /audit, /replicate) that dispatch agents in parallel across papers, web, and repos. Ground every output in cited sources with direct URLs. Add Docker for safe execution and Modal/RunPod for GPU compute. Stack: TypeScript, Node.js.
