grainulator

Overview

Grainulator is a sophisticated research tool that performs multi-pass investigations, compiles typed claims, detects tensions between findings, and produces confidence-graded answers. It operates through a two-phase process: investigation (3 research passes) and compilation (7 analysis passes). The tool integrates with Claude Code as a plugin, providing both autonomous research capabilities and slash commands for controlled investigations.

FAQ

What makes Grainulator different from regular chatbots?

Grainulator performs multi-pass research with typed claims and tension detection, producing confidence-graded answers rather than simple responses. It's a research sprint, not a conversation.

How does the confidence scoring work?

The confidence score (0-100) is calculated through 7 analysis passes evaluating evidence strength, type coverage, bias, gap analysis, and conflict detection.
