SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many users need in‑depth, multi‑source research that goes beyond simple web searches, requiring structured findings, citations, and analysis across several dimensions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi‑phase methodology: scopes, parallel sub‑agent discovery, source evaluation, synthesis, and reporting.
  • Parallel research: launches up to five focused subagents simultaneously to gather diverse sources.
  • Cited reports: outputs a formatted research report with executive summary, findings, analysis, recommendations, and a numbered source list.
  • Use Cases: literature reviews, market analyses, technology evaluations, policy studies, or any complex topic requiring thorough evidence.

Quick Start

Ask the deep-research skill to provide a detailed report on the future of electric vehicles in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a cited literature review from multiple sources automatically?

To generate a cited literature review from multiple sources, this research skill decomposes your question, runs parallel subagent searches across diverse domains, evaluates source credibility, and synthesizes findings into a structured report with a numbered citation list.

What is the best way to conduct a multi-source market analysis with evidence?

The best way to conduct a multi-source market analysis with evidence is using a multi-phase methodology that scopes the topic, launches up to five parallel focused discovery subagents, and synthesizes data into a formatted report with executive summary and recommendations.

Can I get a structured research report with an executive summary and recommendations?

Yes, you can get a structured research report with an executive summary, detailed findings, analysis, recommendations, and a numbered source list by providing a complex topic for the skill to research and synthesize.

Does this research tool work for technology evaluations and policy studies?

Yes, this research tool works for technology evaluations and policy studies, as it is designed for any complex topic requiring thorough evidence, multi-source discovery, and structured synthesis across multiple domains.

How does multi-source research handle source credibility evaluation?

Multi-source research handles source credibility evaluation by decomposing the topic into sub-questions, running parallel focused subagent searches, and evaluating the credibility of gathered sources before synthesizing them into the final cited report.

When should I not use an automated deep-research approach?

You should not use an automated deep-research approach for simple queries that do not require multi-source evidence, structured analysis, or cross-domain synthesis, as the multi-phase scoping and parallel subagent methodology is built for complex, in-depth topics.
