deep-research
Use when the user needs multi-source research with citation tracking, evidence persistence, and structured report generation. Triggers on "deep research", "comprehensive analysis", "research report", "compare X vs Y", "analyze trends", or "state of the art". Not for simple lookups, debugging, or questions answerable with 1-2 searches.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for citation verification and report validation that enhance the AI's research capabilities.

What this skill does
Deep Research Core Purpose Deliver citation-tracked research reports through a structured pipeline with evidence persistence, source identity management, claim-level verification, and progressive context management. Autonomy Principle: Operate independently. Infer assumptions from context. Only stop for critical errors or incomprehensible queries. Surface high-materiality assumptions explicitly in the Introduction and Methodology rather than silently defaulting. --- Decision Tree Default assumptions: Technical query = technical audience. Comparison = balanced perspective. Trend = recent 1-2 years. --- Workflow Overview Phase Name Quick Std Deep Ultra ------- ------ ------- ----- ------ ------- 1 SCOPE Y Y Y Y 2 PLAN - Y Y Y 3 RETRIEVE Y Y Y Y 4 TRIANGULATE - Y Y Y 4.5 OUTLINE REFINEMENT - Y Y Y 5 SYNTHESIZE - Y Y Y 6 CRITIQUE - - Y Y 7 REFINE - - Y Y 8 PACKAGE Y Y Y Y Note: Phases 3-5 operate as an evidence loop per section (retrieve → evidence store → refine outline → draft → verify claims → delta-retrieve if needed), not as strict sequential gates. --- Execution On invocation, load relevant reference files: 1. Phase 1-7: Load methodology.md for detailed phase instructions 2. Phase 8 (Report): Load report-assembly.md for progressive generation 3. HTML/PDF output: Load html-generation.md 4. Quality checks: Load quality-gates.md 5. …
