SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables iterative, multi-source investigation to produce structured intelligence reports with confidence scores and source attributions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Recursive topic exploration, with configurable sources and depth, to surface actionable insights.
  • Sub-topic discovery, contradiction detection, and synthesis into a final report with traceable citations.
  • Output artifacts under .research/ (report.md, sources.md, matrix.md, and raw results) for easy review and archival.
  • Interactive and automated modes to run analyses, iterations, and follow-up queries as needed.

Quick Start

Run a topic through the deep research workflow to generate a comprehensive intelligence report with source citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How does multi-hop research generate intelligence reports with traceable citations?▼

Recursive research automates multi-source exploration by iteratively discovering sub-topics, detecting contradictions, and synthesizing traceable citations into a final structured intelligence report.

How do I automate market analysis with contradiction tracking and confidence scoring?▼

You configure depth levels and sources to run automated market analysis, which recursively explores data, tracks contradictions, assigns confidence scores, and outputs a synthesized report.

Can I run interactive follow-up queries to iterate on strategic intelligence findings?▼

Yes, interactive and automated modes support running analyses, iterations, and follow-up queries to refine strategic intelligence findings based on your ongoing investigation needs.

What output artifacts are generated when doing recursive multi-source research?▼

Recursive research generates output artifacts under .research/ including report.md, sources.md, matrix.md, and raw results to facilitate easy review and archival of your intelligence findings.

Does deep research work for technology evaluations requiring sub-topic discovery and guardrails against failures?▼

Yes, deep research applies to technology evaluations by enabling recursive sub-topic discovery and applying configurable guardrails against failures to ensure reliable strategic intelligence synthesis.

What are the limitations of automated research for generating structured intelligence reports?▼

Automated research depends on configurable sources and depth levels, meaning output quality is bounded by source accessibility and the applied guardrails against failures during recursive exploration.
