What it does
Deep Research is an agent skill from nateberkopec/dotfiles. Produce an in-depth, source-grounded research report. Use for broad questions requiring multiple research threads, reconciliation, and a cited report rather than a quick factual lookup.
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agent-briefs.md` and `references/research-frameworks.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research, Accounting and bookkeeping and Source-grounded notebooks. The repository describes itself as: yup we're doin the thing.
When your agent uses it
- Broad questions requiring multiple research threads
- A cited report rather than a quick factual lookup
Example prompts
- “/deep-research”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define the question
- Delegate reconnaissance
- Research and close gaps
- Synthesize
- Deliver
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6afb80d. 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 738 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 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 374 words (~738 tokens).
“Use separate agents for source gathering and final synthesis so each role keeps a clean context. The lead coordinates, interviews, delegates reconnaissance, checks coverage, and validates the final report; it does not perform independent web research.”

Can I use Deep Research in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nateberkopec/dotfiles --skill deep-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deep-research, .gemini/skills/deep-research, .github/skills/deep-research and .opencode/skills/deep-research in your project.
What does Deep Research need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Deep Research is instructions for the agent only.
Does Deep Research access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Deep Research safe to install?
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.
