Questions, answered from the data.

What is the best deep research skill?

Agent Reach from Panniantong/Agent-Reach ranks first of the 411 deep research skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 93k GitHub stars, 1 other GitHub owner carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.4k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come GitHub Deep Research and Tavily Web Search.

Which deep research skills are official?

4 of the 411 deep research skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Research Agent, Wiki Researcher, Nemo Rl Auto Research and Gemini Interactions API.

How are these skills ranked?

By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
