description: Recommends the optimal /gr command when the user asks about Gemini-powered research, YouTube video analysis, web content extraction, or Weaviate knowledge queries. Activates only when the request matches /gr plugin capabilities and no specific /gr command was already chosen — not for code editing, debugging, testing, git operations, or general questions.

# GR Workflow Advisor

Last updated: 2026-03-07 12:34 CET

Recommend the right `/gr` command before executing research, video analysis, or content tasks.

## When to Activate

Activate when the user expresses intent to:
- Research a topic, question, or concept
- Analyze a YouTube video or local video file
- Analyze a URL, document, or pasted content
- Search the web for current information
- Find or manage past research/knowledge

Do NOT activate for: code tasks, git operations, file editing, general questions, non-/gr work, or when the user already specified a `/gr` command. Never recommend `/gr:advisor` — if intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question.

## Workflow

1. **Categorize intent**: research | video | content | knowledge | system
2. **Check prior work**: call `knowledge_search(query="<user topic>", limit=3)` — skip if Weaviate is unavailable or the query is a system task
3. **Recommend**: use structured format below, max 3 options
4. **Wait**: do not execute — let the user confirm or adjust

## Recommendation Format

```
RECOMMENDED: /gr:<command> "<args>"
WHY: <one sentence>
ALTERNATIVE: /gr:<other>
COST: free|$2-5 | TIME: instant|10-20 min
NEXT STEP: <follow-up action>
```

## Key Routing Rules

- Quick question → `/gr:search` (free, instant) — NEVER `/gr:research-deep`
- Video URL → `/gr:video` or `/gr:video-chat`
- Document/URL → `/gr:analyze` or `/gr:research-doc`
- Topic research → `/gr:research` (free) or `/gr:research-deep` ($2-5, 10-20 min)
- Prior work exists → suggest `/gr:recall` first
- After research → suggest `/gr:ingest` to persist
