At a glance
Multi-agent parallel investigation for complex JUCE problems.
- Works in 3 steps: Output confirmation: "User selected:… → Use Skill tool to invoke plugin-improve… → STOP execution (no further implementation)
- Troubleshooting fails after Level 3
- SKILL.md covers Overview, Entry Points, Level 1: Quick Check (5-10… and Level 2: Moderate…, plus 5 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Deep Research is an agent skill from glittercowboy/plugin-freedom-system. Multi-agent parallel investigation for complex JUCE problems. Use when troubleshooting fails after Level 3, problems require novel research, or user requests /research command.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/level1-report-template.md`, `assets/level2-report-template.md` and `assets/level3-report-template.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research and Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: AI-assisted JUCE plugin development system for MacOS by TÂCHES.
When your agent uses it
- Troubleshooting fails after Level 3
- Problems require novel research
- User requests /research command
Example prompts
- “/deep-research”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Task, WebSearch
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Output confirmation: "User selected: Apply solution. Invoking plugin-improve skill..."
- Use Skill tool to invoke plugin-improve directly
- STOP execution (no further implementation)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e965cdd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepTaskWebSearch
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 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 988 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 988 words (~2,608 tokens).
“Purpose: Multi-level autonomous investigation for complex JUCE plugin development problems using graduated research depth protocol.”
