## Chat Mode for Finance

| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|----------|------------------|
| Quick lookups, single stock metrics, basic calculations | `"agent"` |
| Deep analysis, valuation models, multi-company comparisons, investment research | `"agent team"` |

**Use `"agent team"` for most financial analysis.** Financial work demands deep reasoning, data cross-referencing, and multi-source synthesis. Agent team mode delivers the depth that serious financial analysis requires.

**Use `"agent"` for quick financial lookups** — current stock price, simple calculations, or basic metric checks.
