When your agent uses it
- The user needs thorough investigation
- Market research
- Technical deep-dives
- Comprehensive analysis on any subject
Example prompts
- “Use the deep-researcher skill to perform comprehensive, multi-layered research on any topic with structured analysis and synthesis of information…”
- “/deep-researcher”
Workflow steps
6 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 956140b. 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 Researcher loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 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 Researcher
A comprehensive research workflow skill that guides Claude through systematic, multi-layered research on any topic.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks for "deep research" or "comprehensive research" on a topic
- Needs thorough investigation or due diligence
- Requests market research or competitive analysis
- Wants technical deep-dives or architecture reviews
- Needs literature reviews or trend analysis
- Asks for detailed reports with multiple perspectives
Research Workflow
Step 1: Define Research Scope and Objectives
Start by clearly establishing research parameters:
- Identify the main research question - What is the primary question to investigate?
- Define scope boundaries - What aspects should be included or excluded?
- Determine depth requirements - How detailed should the research be?
- Clarify expected deliverables - What format and structure for output?
- List key areas of focus - What specific subtopics to explore?
Document these parameters before proceeding.
Step 2: Conduct Initial Exploratory Research
Begin with broad reconnaissance to map the landscape:
- Search for overview information - Find general information, definitions, and context
- Identify key sources - Look for authoritative sources, recent publications, expert opinions
- Note initial findings - Create preliminary list of important concepts, terms, themes
- Discover related topics - Identify adjacent areas that may be relevant
- Assess information gaps - Note what's available vs. what needs deeper investigation
Create an initial research map with main themes and subtopics.
Step 3: Deep Dive into Key Areas
For each identified key area, conduct detailed investigation:
- Targeted searches - Use specific queries for each subtopic
- Multiple perspectives - Seek diverse viewpoints and approaches
- Technical details - Gather specific data, statistics, methodologies
- Historical context - Understand evolution and background
- Current state - Identify latest developments and trends
- Future outlook - Look for predictions, projections, emerging patterns
Document findings systematically, noting sources and credibility.
Step 4: Cross-Reference and Validate Findings
Ensure accuracy and reliability:
- Verify key facts - Cross-check important information across multiple sources
- Identify contradictions - Note where sources disagree and investigate why
- Assess source credibility - Evaluate authority and reliability
- Check recency - Ensure information is current and relevant
- Look for consensus - Identify where experts or multiple sources agree
- Flag uncertainties - Mark areas where information is unclear or disputed

Step 5: Synthesize and Analyze Information
Transform collected data into insights:
- Identify patterns - Look for common themes, trends, relationships
- Draw connections - Link concepts across sources and subtopics
- Generate insights - Develop original observations based on research
- Compare and contrast - Analyze similarities and differences
- Evaluate implications - Consider significance and consequences
- Address the research question - Directly answer original question with evidence
Step 6: Generate Structured Research Report
Create comprehensive, well-organized final report:
## Report Structure
1. **Executive Summary**
- Brief overview of research question
- Key findings (3-5 main points)
- Main conclusions
2. **Introduction**
- Research scope and objectives
- Methodology overview
- Key areas explored
3. **Main Body** (organized by themes)
- Detailed findings for each key area
- Supporting evidence and examples
- Multiple perspectives where relevant
- Data and statistics
4. **Analysis & Synthesis**
- Patterns and connections identified
- Cross-cutting themes
- Insights and interpretations
5. **Conclusions**
- Direct answers to research questions
- Summary of most significant findings
- Limitations of the research
6. **Sources & References**
- List of key sources consulted
- Credibility notes where relevantResearch Strategies
Information Quality Standards
- Prefer primary sources - Go to original sources when possible
- Recent is better - Prioritize current information for fast-moving topics
- Multiple sources - Don't rely on single source for important facts
- Expert opinion - Seek recognized authorities in the field
- Data over anecdotes - Prefer statistical evidence to individual stories
Analysis Techniques
Use these frameworks as appropriate:
- SWOT analysis - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
- Compare/Contrast - Systematic comparison of approaches
- Timeline analysis - Historical development and trends
- Stakeholder analysis - Different perspectives and interests
- Gap analysis - What's missing or needs further research
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Confirmation bias - Look for information that challenges assumptions
- Information overload - Know when enough research has been done
- Outdated information - Always check dates and currency
- Single-source dependence - Diversify sources
- Analysis paralysis - Balance thoroughness with timely completion
- Losing focus - Stay aligned with original objectives
