What it does
Deep Research is an agent skill from c0x12c/ai-toolkit. Run deep research on a topic. Web searches, data collection, source checking, and a structured report. Use when the user needs more than a quick answer.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Web search.
When your agent uses it
- The user needs more than a quick answer
- Tasks that involve Deep research
- Tasks that involve Web search
Example prompts
- “/deep-research”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Scope
- Research
- Verify
- Synthesize
- Write Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96b2c9d. 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.
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 loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 366 words (~668 tokens).
“Go deep on one topic. Come back with facts, not fluff.”
