SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly turn open-ended questions into structured, well-cited research with clear depth control and confidence scoring so you can make decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Depth-controlled investigation: chooses quick, standard, or deep research based on your request to match how thorough the answer needs to be.
  • Evidence caching and re-use: checks prior research in ~/.claude/agent-memory/deep-research/ to avoid redundant work within 30 days and reuses cached findings when available.
  • Confidence scoring with citations: attaches HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW confidence to findings and produces numbered sources with relevance notes to support transparency and trust.
  • Knowledge-base integration hooks: updates ~/.claude/KNOWLEDGE.md, logs activities, and optionally syncs findings into a Graphify project when a graph exists.

Quick Start

Ask for a web investigation by saying: Perform deep research on Terraform S3 remote state best practices, include a recommendation and confidence-rated findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague questions into structured web research with citations?

To turn vague questions into structured web research, this Skill converts open-ended prompts into multi-query searches, fetches primary sources, and outputs numbered citations with relevance notes. It applies confidence scoring to each finding so you get evidence-based answers.

What is confidence scoring in comparative analysis research?

Confidence scoring in comparative analysis research rates each finding as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW based on source quality and relevance. This scoring mechanism helps you quickly evaluate the trustworthiness of evidence before making decisions.

How do I validate best practices for unfamiliar technologies before making decisions?

To validate best practices for unfamiliar technologies, request a deep research investigation with depth selection. The Skill performs multi-query web searches, fetches primary sources for deep reads, and provides confidence-rated findings with source citations.

Can I reuse cached web research findings to avoid redundant searches?

You can reuse cached web research findings because the Skill checks prior results saved in the agent memory directory. It reuses cached findings within 30 days to avoid redundant searches and accelerate the investigation process.

Does this research tool integrate findings into a knowledge base?

The research tool integrates findings by updating the local knowledge markdown file, logging research activities, and optionally syncing structured findings into a Graphify project when a graph exists. This ensures your knowledge base stays current.

What is the best way to control research depth for quick versus deep investigations?

The best way to control research depth is using the Skill's depth selection feature, which chooses quick, standard, or deep investigation modes based on your request. Deep reads trigger optional primary-source fetching for more thorough validation.
