# Axon Deep Research
Use this only for report-scale research: a rigorous, cited synthesis the user
explicitly wants delivered as a formal written report. If the request is a
product pick, a top-N list, a quick lookup, or anything answerable with a short
search, stop; do not use this skill, let the request be handled the standard
way.
## Onboarding Interview
Infer the topic, scope, depth, and output format from context. Ask only when the
topic or a critical scope boundary is unclear. Otherwise default to Thorough for
formal reports.
## Axon Collection Plan
Start with Axon's native research pipeline through the CLI or equivalent tool
surface:
```bash
axon research "<topic>" --research-depth 5 > .axon/research.md
```
Then use `axon ask`, `axon query`, `axon retrieve`, targeted `axon scrape`, or
additional `axon research` passes only when the first-pass synthesis leaves gaps.
Match depth to the task scope:
- Quick: `--research-depth 3`, then one targeted follow-up if needed.
- Thorough: choose one value from 5 to 8, e.g. `--research-depth 8`, plus targeted primary-source scrapes.
- Exhaustive: multiple focused `research` passes and targeted primary sources, papers, expert views, and contrarian sources.
Avoid re-fetching URLs already covered by `research`, already indexed and
available via `retrieve`, or already scraped in this run.
## Parallel Work
If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners by research angle:
- overview and definitions
- techni
