SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Research turns ambiguous questions into structured findings—covering quick lookups, standard multi-agent research, extensive parallel exploration, deep iterative investigations, and high-signal content extraction—while enforcing URL verification to prevent hallucinated links.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Mode Research Workflows: Choose quick (fast single-agent), standard (default multi-agent), extensive (12-agent), or deep investigation (iterative vault-building).
  • Content Retrieval & Scraping: Retrieve hard-to-access content via escalating retrieval layers, including web scraping and YouTube content extraction.
  • High-Signal Extraction: Extract highest-alpha insights and knowledge from content for actionable synthesis.

Quick Start

Use the Research skill when you need verified information by saying: “Do research on [your topic]” (or “quick research on [your topic]”).

FAQPage Schema
How does multi-agent web research prevent hallucinated links?

Multi-agent web research prevents hallucinated links by enforcing mandatory URL verification during information synthesis, ensuring all extracted content and references point to actual sources. This verification step is built into every research workflow.

How do I run a deep investigation on a broad topic landscape?

To run a deep investigation on a broad topic landscape, trigger the workflow by requesting research on your topic. The system iteratively executes landscape, entities, and deep-dive analysis phases, building a structured vault of verified findings.

Can I extract and synthesize information from a YouTube URL?

Yes, you can extract and synthesize information from a YouTube URL. The research workflow includes content retrieval and scraping layers specifically designed for YouTube content extraction, yielding high-signal insights from video sources.

What is the best way to do a quick lookup versus an extensive parallel exploration?

For a quick lookup, use the fast single-agent mode by specifying quick research. For extensive parallel exploration, trigger the extensive workflow to deploy a 12-agent configuration for comprehensive information gathering and synthesis.

Does the information synthesis workflow support loading custom configurations?

Yes, the information synthesis workflow supports custom configurations. It optionally loads customizations from SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS before executing tasks, allowing you to tailor the research and extraction parameters to your specific needs.
