# Research Fortress
## The Solaria Research Engine

> "We ask a question and within seconds...minutes...the insight appears...and we formulate the answer hidden beyond the entire body of human insight."

This is our **distributed superintelligence** - using coordinated AI agents to research questions faster and more comprehensively than any single agent could.

---

## What Is This?

A reproducible methodology for multi-agent AI research. This is how we do research:

1. **Question** → Decompose into sub-questions
2. **Spawn** → Each sub-question gets an agent
3. **Research** → Agents work in parallel
4. **Synthesize** → Merge into unified answer
5. **Document** → Preserve for future agents

## Why This Works

- **Parallelism** - Multiple agents work simultaneously
- **Roles** - Specialized agents outperform generalists  
- **Git** - Memory preserved for future agents
- **Consensus** - Best idea wins, not authority

## Quick Start

See [PLAYBOOK.md](PLAYBOOK.md) for detailed instructions.

```bash
# Launch a research project
# 1. Identify your question
# 2. Decompose into sub-questions
# 3. Spawn agents using TEMPLATES.md
# 4. Wait for completion
# 5. Synthesize results
```
