SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Academic research often suffers from inconsistent quality, biased source selection, and time-consuming manual workflows. This skill replaces fragmented research processes with a rigorous, auditable 13-agent pipeline that produces publication-ready reports, systematic reviews, and evidence syntheses for any domain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 13-Agent Pipeline: End-to-end coverage from research question formulation and Socratic mentoring through methodology design, systematic literature search, source verification, cross-source synthesis, risk of bias assessment, meta-analysis, APA 7.0 report compilation, editorial review, devil's advocate challenges, ethics review, and post-research literature monitoring.
  • 8 Operational Modes: Full research, quick brief, paper review, literature review, fact-check, three-way literature scan, Socratic guided dialogue, and systematic review with optional meta-analysis—each optimized for different research stages and time constraints.
  • Rigorous Guardrails: Mandatory checkpoints, source contamination detection, distributional skew advisories, and PRISMA 2020 compliance ensure research integrity and reproducibility.

Quick Start

Use the deep-research skill to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education quality assurance and produce a complete, publication-ready APA 7.0 research report.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a systematic literature review with PRISMA compliance?

Automate a systematic literature review by running the 13-agent pipeline, which handles source verification, cross-source synthesis, and mandatory checkpoints to ensure PRISMA 2020 compliance. It outputs a publication-ready, auditable research report.

What is the best way to perform a rigorous fact-check and evidence synthesis?

The best way to perform evidence synthesis and fact-checking is using the dedicated operational mode, which applies source contamination detection and risk of bias assessment. This workflow yields verified, auditable sources synthesized into a reliable evidence base.

Can I use this workflow to generate an APA 7.0 formatted academic research report?

Yes, you can generate an APA 7.0 formatted academic research report through the automated compilation agent. The pipeline processes your initial research question through to final editorial review, resulting in a publication-ready document.

How does the Socratic dialogue mode work for academic research question formulation?

The Socratic dialogue mode works by guiding you through structured questioning to refine your academic research question formulation. It acts as a mentoring agent that helps clarify your scope before initiating the systematic literature search and synthesis stages.

Are there limitations to using automated meta-analysis for academic research?

Limitations of automated meta-analysis include potential distributional skew and source selection bias, which the system mitigates using mandatory advisories and devil's advocate challenges. Users must still review the generated risk of bias assessments to ensure research integrity.

Do I need prior methodology design knowledge to start a systematic review?

No, prior methodology design knowledge is not strictly required because the pipeline includes automated methodology design and Socratic mentoring agents. These components assist in structuring your research question and defining the systematic review parameters from scratch.
