Deep Research

Deep Research

Responsible for external information research, source archiving, and synthesis reporting. Does not handle bulk digestion of local materials.

USE FOR

• User explicitly requests "research / investigate / deep dive"
• Requires multi-round search, source archiving, and structured synthesis
• Results need to form a traceable research directory and report

DO NOT USE FOR

• Only needs a brief factual answer
• Summarizing a single document
• Primary task is processing locally available materials, not expanding external sources

Execution Skeleton

1. Decompose the research question into dimensions; define the research directory and subtopics.
2. Multi-round search, fetch, and archive raw sources; then write subtopic findings.
3. Synthesize into a final report.md, marking sources and gaps.
4. Directory logic, error handling, and supervisor heuristics are in [execution](references/execution.md).

Output Contract

• Default output includes research directory, archived sources, per-subtopic findings, and a final report
• Key conclusions must be traceable to specific sources

Collaboration and Handoff

• If long-form writing or presentation design is needed after research, hand off to the appropriate skill
