EXECUTE: 아래 JSON으로 AskUserQuestion 도구를 즉시 호출한다:
{
"questions": [
{
"question": "Query looks good? Ready to start research?",
"header": "Action",
"options": [
{"label": "Start research now", "description": "Launch deep research with this query immediately"},
{"label": "Save query only", "description": "Save the JSON query for later use"},

],
"multiSelect": false
}
]
}
Before finalizing the query, verify:
"I want to know about AI in healthcare"
After Phase 1-2 questions, the vague input transforms into:
| Dimension | Vague | Structured |
|---|---|---|
| Title | "AI in healthcare" | "AI Diagnostic Systems in Clinical Healthcare: Adoption and Impact 2023-2026" |
| Scope | Everything | US hospitals, diagnostic AI only, 2023-present |
| Exclusions | None | Consumer apps, billing AI, drug discovery |
| Sources | Any | FDA databases, PubMed, Gartner reports |
| Metrics | None | Adoption rate %, sensitivity/specificity, ROI timeline |
From the vague "AI healthcare", generate specific search terms:
"AI diagnostics FDA approved 2025"
"clinical AI adoption rate hospital"
"radiology AI sensitivity specificity study"
"healthcare AI ROI implementation cost"
"medical AI regulatory compliance HIPAA"
All AskUserQuestion labels and descriptions adapt to the user's detected language.
When user inputs Korean (e.g., "헬스케어 AI 리서치 쿼리 만들어줘"):
Generate search keywords in both the user's language and English for maximum coverage:
Korean input: "AI 의료 진단"
Generated: ["AI 의료 진단 2026", "AI medical diagnostics 2026", "의료 AI 도입 현황", "clinical AI adoption"]
The generated query feeds directly into the deep-research-main skill:
