gpt-researcher-guideAutonomous agent for comprehensive deep research on any topic
Gpt Researcher Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Autonomous agent for comprehensive deep research on any topic
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research and Autonomous loops. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipgitpythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.compubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govnature.comscience.orgAlso links to:
docs.gptr.devtavily.comarxiv.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEYANTHROPIC_API_KEYTAVILY_API_KEYSERPER_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Gpt Researcher Guide loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 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.
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.

.claude/skills/gpt-researcher-guide/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).GPT Researcher is an autonomous research agent with over 26,000 GitHub stars that conducts comprehensive online research on any given topic. Developed by Assaf Elovic, it generates detailed, factual, and unbiased research reports by planning research questions, searching multiple sources, scraping and filtering relevant content, and synthesizing findings into well-structured reports with citations.
The agent addresses a fundamental challenge in AI-assisted research: generating accurate, comprehensive reports rather than relying on a single LLM's potentially outdated or hallucinated knowledge. GPT Researcher uses a multi-agent architecture where a planner agent decomposes the research query into sub-questions, multiple retriever agents gather information from diverse sources, and a writer agent synthesizes everything into a coherent report.
For academic researchers, GPT Researcher is valuable for conducting preliminary literature surveys, exploring unfamiliar research domains, gathering background information for grant proposals, and generating initial drafts of review sections. The agent can be configured to search specific domains, use academic search engines, and output reports in various formats including markdown and PDF.

from gpt_researcher import GPTResearcher
import asyncio
async def run_research():
query = "Recent advances in protein structure prediction using deep learning"
researcher = GPTResearcher(query=query, report_type="research_report")
# Conduct research (searches, scrapes, analyzes sources)
research_result = await researcher.conduct_research()
# Generate the final report
report = await researcher.write_report()
# Access sources used
sources = researcher.get_source_urls()
print(f"Report based on {len(sources)} sources")
print(report)
asyncio.run(run_research())GPT Researcher supports multiple report types tailored to different needs:
# Generate a detailed multi-page report
researcher = GPTResearcher(
query="Transformer architectures for scientific document understanding",
report_type="detailed_report",
max_subtopics=5,
)The research process follows a sophisticated multi-agent pipeline:
# Customize the research configuration
researcher = GPTResearcher(
query="Impact of climate change on marine biodiversity",
report_type="research_report",
source_urls=None, # Or provide specific URLs to research
config_path=None, # Or path to custom config
max_search_results_per_query=5,
verbose=True,
)Restrict research to specific domains or provide seed URLs:
# Research only from specific academic sources
researcher = GPTResearcher(
query="CRISPR gene editing safety profiles",
source_urls=[
"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/",
"https://www.nature.com/",
"https://www.science.org/",
],
)Configure different LLMs for different stages of the research pipeline:
# Use a fast model for planning and a powerful model for writing
# Set via environment variables
# FAST_LLM: Used for sub-question generation and filtering
# SMART_LLM: Used for report synthesis and writingGPT Researcher includes a web interface and API server:
# Start the web UI and API server
cd gpt-researcher
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000The API exposes WebSocket endpoints for streaming research progress and REST endpoints for report management, making it easy to integrate into existing research platforms.
GPT Researcher can be adapted for several academic use cases:
The reports include full citations with URLs, making it straightforward to verify sources and follow up with deeper reading of primary literature.

Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill gpt-researcher-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/research/deep-research/gpt-researcher-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/gpt-researcher-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill gpt-researcher-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/research/deep-research/gpt-researcher-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/gpt-researcher-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill gpt-researcher-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gpt-researcher-guide, .gemini/skills/gpt-researcher-guide, .github/skills/gpt-researcher-guide and .opencode/skills/gpt-researcher-guide in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Gpt Researcher Guide needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip, git and python) and credentials named OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, TAVILY_API_KEY and SERPER_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY; A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
SKILL.md names 7 domains. In commands or code: github.com, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, nature.com and science.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: docs.gptr.dev, tavily.com and arxiv.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
