Dig Deeper

When To Use

Drilling into a subtopic after an initial research session
Narrowing results to a specific channel (e.g. papers only)

When NOT To Use

Starting a new research topic (use /tome:research first)
Synthesizing results (use /tome:synthesize)

Refine an active research session interactively.

Workflow

Load most recent session via SessionManager
Parse the subtopic and optional channel filter
Dispatch targeted search (single agent or all channels)
Merge new findings into existing session
Re-rank and update the saved report
Present new findings to user

Error Cases

No active session: "Start a session first with

/tome:research \"topic\""

Specified channel not in original session: warn and

suggest available channels

Exit Criteria

[ ] Active session loaded from SessionManager before any search

executes; if absent, error "Start a session first with

/tome:research \"<topic>\"" is emitted and skill halts

[ ] New findings merged into the existing session without

overwriting prior findings from other channels

[ ] Session report re-ranked and saved after the merge so

the updated file reflects the deeper search results

[ ] If the specified channel is not in the original session,

a warning is emitted listing the available channels

[ ] New findings presented to the user after the session is

saved, not before
