What problem does it solve? Plain Q&A often produces answers that sound right but lack verification. This Skill performs structured deep research: it forms hypotheses, dispatches independent researcher sub-agents to verify in parallel, actively hunts for counter-evidence, checks source recency, and delivers a report with a judgment, confidence level, and traceable sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-phase recursive research: curiosity loop for broad exploration, deep reasoning with blind-spot detection, adversarial peer review by independent sub-agents, and iterative revision before report delivery. - Quality tiers: fast (5-10 min), standard (15-30 min, default), and deep (40-60 min) modes with explicit search budgets, parallelism limits, and honest degraded flagging when constraints are unmet. - Freshness and bias gates: mandatory freshness sweeps for newly released entities, per-entity successor probing, and systematic bias checks across geography, language, open-source vs commercial, and benchmark sources. - Use Case: Ask it to compare AI coding assistants for a purchase decision; it will map the landscape, cross-verify claims across independent sources, surface dissenting views, and deliver a decision memo with a central thesis and falsifiable conditions. ## Quick Start Say "deep research <topic>" or run /deep-research <topic> in Claude Code, optionally adding --quality=fast, standard, or deep.
