Deep Research Skill
Overview
This skill performs comprehensive research on any topic by:
- •Breaking down the research question into sub-queries
- •Searching for information from multiple angles
- •Synthesizing findings into a coherent summary
Workflow
Step 1: Understand the Research Question
Clarify what the user wants to know:
- •What is the main topic or question?
- •What depth of research is needed? (quick overview vs. deep dive)
- •Are there specific aspects to focus on?
Step 2: Generate Search Queries
Create 3-5 targeted search queries covering different aspects:
- •Main topic query
- •Specific aspect queries
- •Recent developments query
- •Comparison/alternative queries (if applicable)
Step 3: Execute Searches
Use the web_search tool to search for each query:
code
web_search(query="your search query", max_results=5)
Step 4: Analyze Results
For each set of search results:
- •Extract key facts and findings
- •Note the sources
- •Identify conflicting information
- •Flag areas needing more research
Step 5: Synthesize and Report
Create a comprehensive summary that includes:
- •Overview: Main findings in 2-3 sentences
- •Key Points: Bulleted list of important facts
- •Details: Expanded information on each key point
- •Sources: List of sources consulted
- •Gaps: Any areas where information was limited
Guidelines
- •Always cite sources when presenting findings
- •Note when information is uncertain or conflicting
- •Distinguish between facts and opinions
- •Prioritize recent and authoritative sources
- •Be transparent about limitations of the research
