SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Conduct comprehensive AI-powered research with citations via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill when the user wants deep research, a detailed report, a comparison, market analysis, literature review, or says "research", "investigate", "analyze in depth", "compare X vs Y", "what does the market look like for", or needs multi-source synthesis with explicit citations. Returns a structured report grounded in web sources. Takes 30-120 seconds. For quick fact-finding, use tavily-search instead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source synthesis with explicit citations to produce a single, coherent report.
  • Structured, exportable outputs suitable for decision-making, market analysis, and literature reviews.
  • Flexible workflow: search, extract, map, crawl, and final research with optional streaming and formatting.

Quick Start

Ask Tavily to generate a cited, multi-source research report on your topic using the CLI.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to conduct a market analysis with web sources?

A multi-source research report synthesizes information from various web sources into a single structured document with explicit citations. It is ideal for topics requiring comparisons, market analyses, or literature reviews.

How to export a cited research report using command line options?

Yes, you need the Tavily CLI installed and authenticated to produce a literature review. The CLI processes the multi-source synthesis and supports options like --model and --citation-format to tailor the final report.

When should I use deep research instead of quick fact-finding?

You export a cited research report by running the Tavily CLI with the --output and --citation-format options. These commands tailor and export the structured synthesis directly to your desired file format.

How long does it take to generate a multi-source research report?

Use deep research when you need multi-source synthesis, detailed comparisons, or literature reviews with explicit citations. For quick fact-finding without a structured report, use tavily-search instead of this skill.

Can I stream the output of a multi-source synthesis report?

Generating a multi-source research report takes 30 to 120 seconds. The duration depends on the depth of the web sources synthesis required to produce the structured, citation-rich output.

Can I stream the output of a multi-source synthesis report?

Yes, you can stream the output of a multi-source synthesis report by using the --stream option in the Tavily CLI. This allows you to view the research report generation process in real-time.
