SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning open questions into trustworthy research is slow and error-prone: prompts for deep-research tools are hard to write well, finished reports are hard to distill, and claims often lack sources or freshness checks. This Skill structures the entire research lifecycle so every conclusion is cited, verified, and reusable by downstream workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three research modes: Draft a deep-research prompt for external tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity), Process a finished report into a distilled cited summary, or Run native research through parallel web fan-out with subagents. - Typed research packs: Shipped packs for market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic literature research, each with prioritized dimensions, source craft, freshness bars, and two-source verification classes, plus a select shape for choose-between decisions. - Verification and lifecycle: Claims ledger with verified/disputed/unverified/overturned statuses, optional red-team passes, staleness tracking, and Refresh/Deepen intents to update existing run folders. - Use Case: Ask it to research whether to enter a new market; it plans dimensions, fans out web research, verifies load-bearing claims, and produces research.md with an executive summary, source appendix, and staleness map. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run deep recon on your topic, for example: research the competitive landscape for my product idea and produce a cited decision-ready report.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-deep-recon

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run deep research on a market or competitor?

State your topic and the decision it serves, then choose Run for native web research or Draft to get a prompt for your own deep-research tool. The skill applies the matching type pack, fans out research subagents, verifies load-bearing claims, and writes a cited research.md report.

How do I process an existing research report into a summary?

Point the skill at your report file and it files the original into a run folder, extracts claims into digests with provenance, checks coverage against the research type pack, and distills a succinct cited summary with metadata that downstream skills consume without reprocessing.

What research types does deep recon support?

It ships six type packs: market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic literature. Each defines prioritized dimensions, source craft, freshness windows, and two-source verification classes. Custom types can be added through override configuration files.

Does the research skill work without web access?

Native Run mode requires web access and the skill states this honestly rather than fabricating research. Without web access you can still use Draft to build a prompt for an external deep-research tool, or Process to distill a report you already have.

How are research claims verified and kept fresh?

Every load-bearing claim enters a memlog ledger with a status of verified, disputed, unverified, or overturned, checked against independent sources per the configured validation level. A staleness map computes re-check dates per claim class, and the Refresh intent re-verifies only stale claims.
