What problem does it solve? Answering complex questions thoroughly requires gathering evidence from many sources, verifying claims, and tracking where every fact came from. This Skill automates that entire investigation workflow, delivering a cited research brief with a provenance record instead of an unsourced chat answer. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Investigation Workflow: Follows a plan-approve-research-draft-cite-review protocol with durable artifacts (plans, drafts, cited versions) saved under docs/ or papers/. - Source Provenance and Verification: Maps every critical claim to a source URL, runs verifier and reviewer agents, and writes a .provenance.md sidecar recording consulted, accepted, and rejected sources. - Reference Library Integration: Builds a Zotero library while researching via literature_search, zotero_capture, and OpenAlex, with sync of pending metadata and PDFs before delivery. - Use Case: Ask for a comprehensive analysis of a technical topic; the Skill proposes a research plan, delegates to researcher agents for broad surveys, verifies citations, and delivers a cited brief with full provenance. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run deep research on your topic, for example: do a deep research investigation on the current state of battery recycling methods and produce a cited report.
