From 6a7c29010d413615c6930b057d7b7585f6a5484a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Van Horn Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 15:01:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: Answer follow-up questions from research, don't re-search After research is complete, Claude is an expert. Follow-up questions should be answered from the research findings, not trigger new WebSearches. Only do new research for a different topic.
