What this skill does
Research Skill Multi-source parallel research with confidence-based synthesis. Trigger Phrases When user asks: "research X for me" "find out about X" "what's the current status of X" "gather information on X" "deep dive into X" Quick Reference Mode Speed Depth Use Case ------ ------- ------- ---------- quick ~30s Shallow Fact check, simple lookup standard ~2min Moderate Typical research extensive ~8min Deep Comprehensive analysis Command Mode Selection Research Types Type Sources Best For ------ --------- ---------- Web WebSearch Current events, latest docs Docs Local ai-docs/ Library usage, patterns Code Codebase grep Implementation examples Confidence Levels Level Meaning Source Count ------- --------- -------------- HIGH Very reliable 3+ agree MEDIUM Likely accurate 2 agree LOW Needs verification 1 only CONFLICTING Check manually Sources disagree Cookbook cookbook/quick-mode.md - Fast fact-checking pattern cookbook/standard-mode.md - Balanced research pattern cookbook/extensive-mode.md - Deep research pattern Reference reference/researcher-types.md - Available researcher agents reference/synthesis-patterns.md - How findings are combined Common Gotchas Timeout: Extensive mode may timeout on slow connections. Results are still returned. Docs only: If web is down, doc-only results are returned with note. Conflicting info: Review "Conflicting Information" section when present.
