 # GreedySearch Tools
 
-## Tool Overview
-
-| Tool | Speed | Use for |
+| Tool | Speed | Use For |
 |------|-------|---------|
-| `greedy_search` | 15-90s | Quick lookups, comparisons, debugging errors |
-| `deep_research` | 60-120s | Architecture decisions, thorough research, source-backed answers |
-| `coding_task` | 60-180s | Second opinions on code, reviews, debugging tricky issues |
-
-## When to Use Which
+| `greedy_search` | 15-90s | Quick lookups, current info |
+| `deep_research` | 60-120s | Architecture decisions, source-backed research |
+| `coding_task` | 60-180s | Debug, review, plan modes for hard problems |
 
-- **`greedy_search`** — Default. Fast enough for most things. Use when you need current info.
-- **`deep_research`** — When the answer *matters*. Gives you a structured document with confidence scores, deduplicated sources ranked by consensus, Gemini synthesis, AND actual content from top sources.
-- **`coding_task`** — When you need a "second opinion" on hard problems. Best for `debug` and `plan` modes on tricky issues.

+## greedy_search
 
-# greedy_search
+Multi-engine AI search (Perplexity, Bing, Google).
 
-Multi-engine AI web search with streaming progress.
-
-```greedy_search({ query: "what changed in React 19", engine: "all" })```
+```greedy_search({ query: "React 19 changes", engine: "all" })```
 
 | Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
 |-----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `query` | string | required | The search question |
+| `query` | string | required | Search question |
 | `engine` | string | `"all"` | `all`, `perplexity`, `bing`, `google`, `gemini` |
-| `synthesize` | boolean | `false` | Synthesize via Gemini |
-| `fullAnswer` | boolean | `false` | Complete answer vs ~300 char summary |
-
-**When to use:** Quick lookups, error messages, comparing tools, "what's new in X".
+| `synthesize` | boolean | `false` | Gemini synthesis (+30s, higher quality) |
+| `fullAnswer` | boolean | `false` | Complete vs ~300 char summary |
 
----
+**When to use:** Current info, version changes, comparisons, debugging errors.  
+**vs web_search:** Slower but higher quality — 3 engines cross-verify.
 
-# deep_research
+**Engine Selection:**
+- `all` (default): 30-90s, highest confidence
+- `perplexity`: 15-30s, technical Q&A
+- `bing`: 15-30s, recent news
+- `google`: 15-30s, broad coverage
+- `gemini`: 15-30s, different training data
 
-Comprehensive research with source fetching and synthesis. Returns a structured document.
+## deep_research
 
-```deep_research({ query: "RAG vs fine-tuning for production" })```
+Comprehensive research with source fetching and synthesis.
 
-Returns:
-- Full answers from all 3 engines (Perplexity, Bing, Google)
-- Gemini synthesis combining all perspectives
-- Deduplicated sources ranked by consensus (3/3 > 2/3 > 1/3)
-- Fetched content from top 5 sources (no CDP — uses native fetch)
-- Confidence metadata (which engines responded, consensus score)
+```deep_research({ query: "RAG vs fine-tuning tradeoffs" })```
 
-**When to use:** Architecture decisions, "which library should I use", research for a writeup, anything where you need source-backed confidence.
+Returns: Full answers + Gemini synthesis + deduplicated sources (ranked by consensus [3/3, 2/3, 1/3]) + fetched content from top sources.
 
----
+**When to use:** Research that matters — library comparisons, architecture decisions, source-backed confidence.
 
-# coding_task
+## coding_task
 
-Browser-based coding assistant using Gemini and/or Copilot.
+Browser-based coding assistant via Gemini/Copilot.
 
-```coding_task({ task: "debug this race condition", mode: "debug", engine: "all" })```
+```coding_task({ task: "debug race condition", mode: "debug", engine: "gemini" })```
 
 | Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
 |-----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `task` | string | required | The coding task/question |
-| `engine` | string | `"gemini"` | `gemini`, `copilot`, or `all` |
-| `mode` | string | `"code"` | See modes below |
+| `task` | string | required | Coding task/question |
+| `engine` | string | `"gemini"` | `gemini`, `copilot`, `all` |
+| `mode` | string | `"code"` | `debug`, `plan`, `review`, `test`, `code` |
 | `context` | string | — | Code snippet to include |
 
 **Modes:**
+- `debug`: Stuck on tricky bug — fresh eyes catch different failure modes
+- `plan`: Big refactor coming — Gemini plays devil's advocate
+- `review`: High-stakes code review before merge
+- `test`: Edge cases the author missed
+- `code`: Simple generation (but you're probably faster)
 
-| Mode | Use when |
-|------|----------|
-| `debug` | Stuck on a tricky bug. Fresh eyes catch different failure modes. |
-| `plan` | About to refactor something big. Gemini plays devil's advocate. |
-| `review` | Code review before merge. High-stakes code benefits from second opinion. |
-| `test` | Need edge cases the author missed. |
-| `code` | Just need the code written (but you can probably do this yourself faster). |
-
-**When to use:** Debugging tricky issues, planning major refactors, security-critical reviews. **Skip for** simple code generation — you're faster.
-
-## Greedy Search vs Built-in Web Search
-
-| | `web_search` | `greedy_search` |
-|---|---|---|
-| Speed | Instant (~2s) | 15-60s (one engine) / 30-90s (all engines) |
-| Quality | Good for simple lookups | Higher — 3 AI engines cross-verify |
-| Synthesis | Single engine answer | Optional Gemini synthesis (cleanest answer) |
-| Use for | Quick facts, simple questions | Research, decisions, complex topics |
-
-**Rule of thumb:** Use `web_search` for quick facts. Use `greedy_search` when the answer matters — architecture decisions, comparing libraries, understanding new releases, debugging tricky errors.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- **Version-specific changes** — "What changed in React 19?" / "Breaking changes in FastAPI 0.100"
-- **Choosing between tools** — "Prisma vs Drizzle in 2026" / "Best auth library for Next.js 15"
-- **Debugging** — User pastes an error message or stack trace
-- **Research tasks** — When you need to synthesize information from multiple sources
-- **Best practices** — "How to structure a monorepo" / "Auth patterns for SaaS"
-- **Anything where training data might be stale** — 2025+, 2026+, "latest", "current", "still maintained"
-
-## Engine Selection
-
-```greedy_search({ query: "what changed in React 19", engine: "all" })```
-
-| Engine | Latency | Best for |
-|---|---|---|
-| `all` (default) | 30-90s | Highest confidence — all 3 engines in parallel |
-| `perplexity` | 15-30s | Technical Q&A, code explanations, documentation |
-| `bing` | 15-30s | Recent news, Microsoft ecosystem |
-| `google` | 15-30s | Broad coverage, multiple perspectives |
-| `gemini` | 15-30s | Google's perspective, different training data |
-
-Use a single engine when speed matters and the question isn't contentious.
-
-## Synthesis Mode
-
-For complex research questions, use `synthesize: true` with `engine: "all"`:
-
-```greedy_search({ query: "best auth patterns for SaaS in 2026", engine: "all", synthesize: true })```
-
-This deduplicates sources across engines and feeds them to Gemini for one clean, synthesized answer. Adds ~30s but produces the highest quality output — ideal for research tasks where you'd otherwise need to parse 3 separate answers.
-
-Use synthesis when:
-- You need one definitive answer, not multiple perspectives
-- You're researching a topic to write about or make a decision
-- The question has a lot of noise and you want the signal
-
-Skip synthesis when:
-- You want to see where engines disagree (useful for controversial topics)
-- Speed matters
-
-## Full vs Short Answers
-
-Default mode returns ~300 char summaries to save tokens. Use `fullAnswer: true` when you need the complete response:
-
-```greedy_search({ query: "explain the React compiler", engine: "perplexity", fullAnswer: true })```
+**When to use:** Second opinions on hard problems. Skip for simple code.
 
 ## Interpreting Results
 
 - **All 3 agree** → High confidence, present as fact
-- **2 agree, 1 differs** → Likely correct but note the dissent
-- **All differ** → Present the different perspectives to the user
-- **Sources with `[3/3]` or `[2/3]`** → Cited by multiple engines, higher confidence
+- **2 agree, 1 differs** → Likely correct, note the dissent
+- **All differ** → Present different perspectives
+- **Sources [3/3] or [2/3]** → Cited by multiple engines, higher confidence
