SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Academic research requires coordinating literature search, methodology design, source verification, evidence synthesis, and report writing—tasks that demand significant time and specialized expertise. This Skill replaces manual coordination with a 13-agent pipeline that maintains rigorous standards from initial scoping through final APA 7.0 delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 6-Phase Research Pipeline: Interactive scoping, systematic investigation, cross-source analysis, report composition, multi-agent review, and revision with capped iteration loops.
  • 7 Operational Modes: Full research, quick brief, paper review, literature review, fact-checking, Socratic guided dialogue, and PRISMA-compliant systematic review with optional meta-analysis.
  • Integrated Quality Assurance: Devil's Advocate checkpoints, ethics review, source contamination screening, risk-of-bias assessment, and editorial review ensure research integrity.

Quick Start

Use the deep-research skill to research the impact of declining birth rates on private universities and generate a complete APA 7.0 research report with annotated bibliography and synthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research

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

Automating a systematic literature review with PRISMA compliance is handled through a 13-agent pipeline that coordinates scoping, source verification, and risk-of-bias assessment. It includes a dedicated operational mode for PRISMA-compliant systematic reviews with optional meta-analysis.

Can I generate an academic research paper formatted in APA 7.0?

You can generate an APA 7.0 formatted academic research paper using the full research pipeline. The workflow manages report composition, evidence synthesis, and annotated bibliography delivery, satisfying APA 7.0 formatting requirements.

What is the best way to fact-check sources and detect bias in academic research?

Fact-checking and bias detection in academic research are executed via integrated quality assurance agents. The pipeline applies source contamination screening, cross-source analysis, and Devil's Advocate checkpoints to ensure research integrity.

Does this research workflow support Socratic guided dialogue for research planning?

The research workflow supports Socratic guided dialogue as one of its 7 distinct operational modes. This mode provides interactive scoping to help you define research parameters and methodology before systematic investigation begins.

How do I conduct a meta-analysis from start to finish?

Conducting a meta-analysis from start to finish involves a 6-phase research pipeline: interactive scoping, systematic investigation, cross-source analysis, report composition, multi-agent review, and revision with capped iteration loops.

When should I use the quick brief mode instead of a full research pipeline?

You should use the quick brief mode for rapid evidence synthesis instead of the full research pipeline when you need immediate summaries. The full pipeline is better suited for rigorous academic writing requiring multi-agent review and APA 7.0 formatting.
