What it does
Deep Research Framework is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Framework for deep research reports: define the question and tier sources first, cross-verify, then write conclusion-first reports with explicit uncertainty statements. Use when the user asks for a research report, topic investigation, or competitive analysis.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for a research report
- Topic investigation
- Competitive analysis
Example prompts
- “/deep-research-framework”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define the question: write in one sentence what the report must answer. Add at most 3 sub-questions. Starting before the question is clear…
- Tier your sources (tier before you search, so you don't believe whatever you find first)
- Cross-verify: key conclusions need two or more independent sources. Two sources quoting the same origin don't count as independent. If no…
- Writing structure (conclusion first)
- Timestamps: date every key fact ("as of Sep 2026"). Undated information is treated as "possibly stale" by default.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Deep Research Framework loads about 814 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Deep Research Report Framework
Produce a report whose "conclusions are trustworthy, process is traceable, and the unknowns are explicitly marked." The quality floor of research is set by its sources, not its prose.
Workflow
- Define the question: write in one sentence what the report must answer. Add at most 3 sub-questions. Starting before the question is clear guarantees the research will sprawl.
- Tier your sources (tier before you search, so you don't believe whatever you find first):
- Primary: official docs, original papers, original filings, protocol/legal texts, measured data.
- Secondary: reputable press, industry reports, expert interviews.
- Tertiary: social-media posts, forum threads, aggregator sites — leads only, never evidence.
- Cross-verify: key conclusions need two or more independent sources. Two sources quoting the same origin don't count as independent. If no second source exists, downgrade the conclusion to "single-source claim" and mark it as such.
- Writing structure (conclusion first):
- Opening: 3–5 lines stating the core conclusions.
- Body: one section per sub-question, each in "conclusion → evidence → sources" order.
- Closing: uncertainty statement — "what wasn't found, what's speculation, under what conditions the conclusions change."
- Timestamps: date every key fact ("as of Sep 2026"). Undated information is treated as "possibly stale" by default.
Rules
- Mark speculation as speculation. Use "may", "likely", "unverified" — never dress speculation up with "clearly" or "it is well known".
- No tertiary source supports a core conclusion. A forum thread can point a direction, never serve as evidence.
- Every number in the report has a source. A number without a source is deleted, not rewritten.
- State "what you don't know" before "what you know" — honest uncertainty beats pretty certainty.
Minimal example (report outline template)
# Research Report: <Topic> (example outline)
**Core conclusions** (3–5 lines): …
## 1. Sub-question one
- Conclusion: …
- Evidence: … (source: primary/secondary, as of …)
- Evidence: … (second independent source)
## 2. Sub-question two
…
## Uncertainty statement
- Not found: …
- Single-source claims: … (one source only, pending verification)
- Invalidation conditions: if … changes, conclusion X in this report needs reassessment.Anti-patterns
- ❌ Single-source verdicts: one social-media post becomes "research shows".
- ❌ Speculation as fact: "clearly" and "it is well known" are the most dangerous words in a research report.
- ❌ Undated facts: 2023 data presented as the current state; the conclusion quietly expires.
- ❌ Evidence pile with no conclusion: 20 sources listed, and the reader still can't tell what the author believes.
- ❌ Hiding the unknowns: burying what wasn't found makes the report look omniscient and plants landmines.
