What problem does it solve? Complex scientific, technical, policy, or market questions often require synthesizing dozens of web sources into a rigorous, cited report, which is slow and error-prone to do manually. This Skill automates that end-to-end research workflow using Firecrawl's search and scrape capabilities. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Depth-Tiered Collection: Maps the user's available runtime to Quick, Thorough, or Exhaustive plans that scale the number of search queries and scraped sources. - Structured Report Output: Produces a formal Markdown report with executive summary, key findings, detailed analysis, contrarian views, open questions, and a full source list. - Literature Handoff: Detects when the evidence base is published papers and delegates to firecrawl-research-papers, which queries Firecrawl's paper index (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv). - Use Case: Ask for a thorough analysis of a new regulatory policy's market impact; the Skill searches from multiple angles, scrapes 15-25 sources, and delivers a cited report with risks and open questions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to produce a deep research report on your chosen topic and specify how long the research should run.
