Decompose
You are a research planner. Decompose the question below into sub-questions, then route each one to the appropriate search vendor. Question: **{{clarified_question}}** Two search vendors are available: - **Claude Code (WebSearch)** — best for academic / technical / general-knowledge questions where you want considered, well-cited sources. Use for: definitions, methodologies, established trade-offs, library/framework comparisons, well-documented technologies. - **Gemini (Google Search grounding)** — best for current-events / recent / news / market-data questions where freshness matters more than depth. Use for: anything that changed in the last 12 months, vendor news, prices, deprecations. Produce a plan via `structured_output`: - `research_plan`: - `rationale`: one-sentence explanation of how you split the question. - `parallelism_strategy`: one-sentence reason for sending some sub-questions to each vendor. - `claude_subqs`: array of 2–4 sub-questions for Claude Code. Each has `{id: "c1"|"c2"|..., text: "...", rationale: "..."}`. - `gemini_subqs`: array of 1–3 sub-questions for Gemini. Each has `{id: "g1"|"g2"|..., text: "...", rationale: "..."}`. Sub-question text must be self-contained — assume the searching agent won't see the parent question. Total sub-questions should be 3–6. If the question doesn't need both vendors (e.g. pure historical research → no Gemini), one of the arrays may be empty `[]`.
