What it does
Research Digest is an agent skill from thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing. Generate structured research briefs from RSS feeds and web sources on any topic. Synthesizes multiple sources into actionable analysis with key findings, data points, expert perspectives, and content angles.
Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `EXAMPLES.md` and `REFERENCE.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: A full marketing department for Claude Code. Skill packs for Klaviyo, Shopify, GA4, Looker Studio, paid media, and more. Audit, optimize, and report using natural language. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
Example prompts
- “/research-digest”
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 a8a63ec. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Research Digest loads about 912 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 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.

Research Digest
Generate structured research briefs from RSS feeds, web sources, and industry publications.
Install
git clone https://github.com/thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing.git && cp -r claude-marketing/skills/research-digest ~/.claude/skills/Core Capabilities
- Pull from RSS feeds, web search, and curated sources
- Assess source credibility and recency
- Cross-reference findings across multiple sources
- Extract trends, data points, and expert opinions
- Identify counter-arguments and nuance
- Produce actionable research briefs
Workflow
1. Source Collection
Gather raw material from:
- RSS feeds — industry blogs, news sites, newsletters (via any RSS reader/API)
- Web search — targeted queries for recent coverage
- Industry reports — analyst reports, whitepapers, earnings calls
- Social/community — Reddit, Twitter/X, LinkedIn discussions
2. Source Assessment
Evaluate each source on:
| Criterion | Weight | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Credibility | 30% | Original research > analysis > aggregation > opinion |
| Recency | 25% | Last 7 days > 30 days > 90 days > older |
| Relevance | 25% | Directly on topic > adjacent > tangential |
| Uniqueness | 20% | Novel data > unique angle > common knowledge |
3. Synthesis
- Identify convergent themes (3+ sources saying the same thing)
- Flag divergent views (contradictions between sources)
- Extract specific data points with citations
- Note the "so what" — why this matters for the target audience
4. Brief Generation
Produce a structured markdown brief.
Brief Structure
# Research Brief: [Topic]
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Depth:** Quick scan / Standard / Deep dive
**Sources reviewed:** [count]
## Executive Summary
- [Key finding 1]
- [Key finding 2]
- [Key finding 3]
## Key Findings
### Finding 1: [Headline]
[2-3 paragraph analysis with source citations]
### Finding 2: [Headline]
[2-3 paragraph analysis with source citations]
## Data Points
| Metric | Value | Source | Date |
|--------|-------|--------|------|
## Expert Perspectives
- "[Quote]" — [Name, Title, Source]
## Counter-Arguments & Nuance
- [Opposing view with source]
## Content Angles
- [Angle 1: how to use this research in content]
- [Angle 2]
## Sources
1. [Source name] — [URL] — [Credibility: High/Medium/Low]Options
| Option | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Time range | 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d | 7d |
| Depth | quick, standard, deep | standard |
| Focus | topic keyword or category | required |
| Output | brief, report, raw-notes | brief |
Quality Standards
- Minimum 3 independent sources per key finding
- Recency bias toward last 30 days unless historical context is needed
- Always include counter-arguments — at least one contrarian or skeptical view
- Separate facts from opinions — clearly label which is which
- Link to original sources — never cite without attribution
- No speculation — if data is missing, say so rather than guessing
For source credibility framework and synthesis methodology, see REFERENCE.md.
