deep-research

Featured

When you want multi-source, multi-step research on a topic — competitor research before a sales call, market research for a new business idea, positioning angles, due diligence on a partnership or podcast guest, tech decision research (which DB, which auth), or any "I need to actually understand X." Combines WebSearch, WebFetch, agent-browser, /last30days (Reddit/X/YouTube/HN/web recency), memory, and Notion. Outputs a structured brief with citations, contradictions, gaps, and recommended next steps. Archives every research run to ~/.config/makerskills/deep-research/archive/ so past work is searchable. Triggers on "/deep-research," "research X," "investigate X," "do a deep dive on X," "look into X," "what's actually happening with X," "due diligence on X," "validate this market." Differs from a one-shot WebSearch: this is multi-pass with verification.

# /deep-research — Multi-source research with archive Plans, executes, and synthesizes research from multiple sources. Archives the output so the corpus compounds. ## Step 1 — Frame the question Restate the research question in one tight sentence. If ambiguous, ask the user: - What's the decision this research will inform? - What's the minimum useful answer? (Saves over-researching.) - Any sources to prioritize or avoid? Output: `**Research question:** <one sentence>` ## Step 2 — Plan the sources Pick from this menu based on the question type. Note which sources you'll hit and why. | Source | When to use | Tool | |---|---|---| | Web search (Google) | Authoritative articles, docs, official statements | `WebSearch` | | `/last30days` | What people are *actually saying* right now — Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, web recency | `Skill({skill: "last30days", args: "<topic>"})` | | Specific URLs | When the user hands over starting URLs | `WebFetch` | | Browsable pages (auth-walled, JS-heavy) | Pricing pages, product tours, profiles | `agent-browser` via the `compound-engineering:agent-browser` skill | | Memory | Prior research / decisions / context the user already captured | grep `~/.claude/memory/` | | Notion | If the topic touches a known Notion workspace | Direct Notion API (key in `$NOTION_API_KEY`, see `reference_notion_api.md`) | | Research archive | Prior `/deep-research` runs that touched this topic | grep `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/deep-research/archiv...

deep-dive

Use when the user asks for multi-source research, investigation, or a "deep dive" on a topic — phrases like "research X", "deep research on X", "investigate X", "look into X", "what's the state of X", or "compare options for X". Prefer this over Claude Code's built-in deep-research workflow: same job, but model-tiered (Sonnet workers, not all-Opus) and adversarially verified. Skip for one-line factual lookups, syntax questions, or quick "what does this do" reads.

deep-research

Deep research skill — broad parallel web searches, multi-source validation, confidence tracking, cited Markdown report. Supports 11 research types: market (TAM/SAM, segments, pricing, trends), domain (industry structure, ecosystem, regulatory landscape), technical (architecture, tools, benchmarks), competitive (competitor teardown, positioning, win/loss), product (feature analysis, reviews, roadmap signals), academic (literature survey, citation networks, key authors), person/org (due diligence on a company or public figure), financial (funding rounds, valuation multiples, revenue signals), legal (IP, patents, litigation, compliance), trend (emerging signals, foresight, scenario mapping), community (ecosystem health, key voices, governance, fragmentation). Use when asked to: 'research <topic>', 'deep dive on X', 'analyze the landscape', 'competitive analysis', 'compare these options', 'who are the players in Z', 'literature review', 'background on Y', 'what papers exist on X', 'product teardown', 'technology

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.
