SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you produce truly deep research outputs by guiding an iterative investigation cycle across multiple themes, with explicit gap-finding, contradiction handling, and evidence-backed conclusions rather than one-shot summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarify first, then plan: Collects 2–3 essential requirements before starting, then produces a complete research plan for approval.
  • Mandated research cycles: Runs two full research cycles per theme (landscape → deep dive) to reduce uncertainty and verify claims across multiple sources.
  • Evidence, contradictions, and limitations: Requires documenting reasoning evolution, mapping sources, addressing conflicts, and stating limitations and unresolved uncertainties.
  • Deliverable-focused writing: Produces a cohesive academic-style report with APA 7th in-text citations and a full reference list.

Quick Start

Ask for an exhaustive literature review on your topic and then wait for the Skill’s clarifying questions and research plan to confirm before it begins full execution.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a literature review with proper citations and gap identification?

An exhaustive literature review requires iterative research cycles across multiple themes to map landscapes, identify gaps, and produce an academic-style report featuring APA 7th in-text citations and a full reference list.

What is the best way to conduct competitive analysis with evidence-backed certainty?

Competitive analysis with evidence-backed certainty requires systematic research cycles that fetch deep sources, cross-reference claims, and document reasoning evolution to reduce uncertainty.

How do I start a deep research investigation on a complex topic?

Starting a deep research investigation involves providing 2-3 essential requirements so the process can generate a complete research plan for approval before full execution and parallel research tracks begin.

Does deep research handle contradictions and unresolved uncertainties in trend analysis?

Yes, deep research handles contradictions and unresolved uncertainties in trend analysis by explicitly addressing conflicts, mapping sources, and stating limitations while documenting reasoning evolution across research cycles.

Can I use this for exhaustive topic exploration requiring multi-source verification?

Yes, you can use this for exhaustive topic exploration requiring multi-source verification by applying structured tool usage for broad web search and deep source fetching to verify claims across multiple sources.

Why does evidence synthesis require multiple research cycles instead of one-shot summaries?

Evidence synthesis requires multiple research cycles instead of one-shot summaries to reduce uncertainty, verify claims across multiple sources, and ensure comprehensive landscape mapping before deep diving into specific themes.
