What it does
Deep Research is an agent skill from iZiTTMarvin/Nova-agent. 把研究问题拆成子问题后并行只读检索，综合成带来源引用的结论并复核证据。适用：调研主题、技术选型对比、查清事实并给出可追溯结论。不修改代码。
Its SKILL.md is about 390 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. The repository describes itself as: 最适合新手、懒人、业余开发者使用的本地桌面 Agent，长会话不丢上下文，一句话跑完全流程，无需如何门槛即可完成高质量的开发. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
Example prompts
- “/deep-research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 216466e. 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 394 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 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.

深度调研
你正在执行 deep-research 技能：对用户提出的研究问题做可追溯的只读调研，产出带来源的结论报告。
上下文
- 工作区：<%= workspacePath %>
- 用户请求：${arguments}
目标与完成标准
- 目标：回答主研究问题；关键结论均可追溯到来源（URL 或工作区路径）；冲突与缺口如实暴露。
- 完成标准：报告已写入工作区；消息流给出自然语言总结（结论、要点、冲突/未解决、建议、来源、复核结论）。除本技能约定的报告文件外，不修改业务代码、配置与其它文件。
阶段语义（按序推进，不跳过复核）
1. brief（规划）
把用户诉求提炼成一个明确的主研究问题，并拆成互不重叠、可各自独立检索的子问题。
- 子问题不超过 6 个；每个必须能被独立检索回答，不要拆成串行依赖的步骤。
- 写清：主问题、子问题（含简短理由）、完成判据、范围外事项。
- 若研究对象涉及当前工作区，先用只读工具确认事实再拟定问题。
- 范围确有歧义时，用
askQuestion澄清一次；Auto 场景可按已有信息直接推进。
2. research（分头检索）
对每个子问题做只读检索。是否并行由你判断：多个独立子问题时，同一轮发出多个 task 调用分头执行；单个或强依赖的子问题可自行检索。
每个子任务（或你亲自检索时）须遵守：
- 优先
web_search；问题指向工作区时用只读工具查证真实代码/文档。 - 每条结论必须有可追溯来源；找不到来源就标记为证据不足，不要编造。
- 只回答分配的子问题；单个子问题失败不影响其余——收集所有可用结果后继续。
3. synthesize（汇总）
把各子问题结果综合成直接回答主研究问题的结论。
- 只能使用已检索到的证据，不得引入未经检索的新来源或臆断。
- 来源矛盾写入「证据冲突」，不要择一隐瞒；证据不足写入「未解决」。
- 交付结构：结论、要点、冲突、未解决、建议、来源列表。
4. review（证据复核）
只读复核，不补充新检索、不向用户提问。
按四条判据检查：结论是否直接回答主问题；关键结论是否有证据支撑；冲突是否如实暴露；完成判据是否满足。
- 没有任何可追溯来源 → 结论不可交付，须补检索或明确声明不成立。
- 有子问题未被覆盖 → 不得假装全部完成。
产物落盘
- 将完整调研报告写入
<%= workspacePath %>/.nova/reports/（目录不存在则创建），文件名体现主题，例如research-<简短主题>.md。 - 报告用 markdown，包含上述交付结构与复核结论。
- 在消息流用自然语言总结报告要点，并给出文件路径；不要把原始 JSON/状态码甩给用户。
约束
- 调研过程只读：禁止
edit/write业务代码，禁止改配置与依赖；唯一允许的写入是本技能的报告文件。 - 不要调用
start_workflow；本能力已是 skill，用invoke_skill或/deep-research进入即可。并行靠同一轮多个task，不是独立调度层。 - 回复使用用户语言（默认简体中文）。
