What it does
Deep Research is an agent skill from nicepkg/auto-company. Conduct enterprise-grade research with multi-source synthesis, citation tracking, and verification. Use when user needs comprehensive analysis requiring 10+ sources, verified claims, or comparison of approaches. Triggers include "deep research", "comprehensive analysis", "research report", "compare X vs Y", or "analyze trends". Do NOT use for simple lookups, debugging, or questions answerable with 1-2 searches.
Its SKILL.md is about 8.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including scripts (for example `ARCHITECTURE_REVIEW.md`, `AUTONOMY_VERIFICATION.md` and `COMPETITIVE_ANALYSIS.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: 🤖 A fully autonomous AI company that runs 24/7. 14 AI agents (Bezos, Munger, DHH...) brainstorm ideas, write code, deploy products & make money — no human in the loop. Powered…
When your agent uses it
- User needs comprehensive analysis requiring 10+ sources
- Verified claims
- Comparison of approaches
- Include deep research
Example prompts
- “deep research”
- “comprehensive analysis”
- “research report”
- “/deep-research”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify (Rarely Needed - Prefer Autonomy)
- Plan
- Act (Phase Execution)
- Verify (Always Execute)
- Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1252920. 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
Ships 7 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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 8.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,051 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,051 words (~8,266 tokens).
“Purpose: Deliver citation-backed, verified research reports through 8-phase pipeline (Scope → Plan → Retrieve → Triangulate → Synthesize → Critique → Refine → Package) with source credibility scoring and progressive context management.”
