Deep Research Framework
Overview
The Deep Research skill provides a systematic approach to conducting thorough investigations on any topic. It combines multiple tools and methodologies to gather, analyze, verify, and synthesize information.
Core Components
1. Research Planning
- -Define research objectives
- -Identify key questions
- -Establish search criteria
- -Determine validation requirements
2. Information Gathering
- -Multi-source web search
- -Content extraction from various formats
- -Source diversity verification
- -Temporal relevance assessment
3. Analysis & Synthesis
- -Cross-reference multiple sources
- -Identify patterns and contradictions
- -Evaluate source credibility
- -Organize findings systematically
4. Validation & Verification
- -Fact-checking against authoritative sources
- -Cross-validation of claims
- -Identify potential biases
- -Assess information reliability
Research Workflow
Phase 1: Initial Investigation
1. Topic Analysis
- Clarify research scope
- Identify key concepts and terms
- Define specific questions to answer
2. Broad Search
- Use web_search to identify major sources
- Gather diverse perspectives
- Map the landscape of available information
3. Source Prioritization
- Rank sources by authority and relevance
- Identify primary vs. secondary sources
- Note publication dates and context
Phase 2: Deep Dive
1. Detailed Content Extraction
- Use web_fetch to retrieve full articles/pages
- Extract key information systematically
- Maintain source attribution
2. Cross-Reference Analysis
- Compare claims across multiple sources
- Identify agreements and disagreements
- Note inconsistencies for further investigation
3. Expert Sources
- Seek academic papers, expert opinions
- Look for peer-reviewed sources
- Identify recognized authorities on the topic
Phase 3: Synthesis & Validation
1. Pattern Recognition
- Identify consistent themes across sources
- Highlight areas of disagreement
- Note gaps in available information
2. Fact Verification
- Cross-check claims against authoritative sources
- Verify dates, statistics, and attributions
- Identify potential misinformation
3. Bias Assessment
- Evaluate source objectivity
- Identify potential conflicts of interest
- Consider temporal context of information
Phase 4: Report Generation
1. Structured Summary
- Executive summary of key findings
- Detailed findings organized by theme
- Supporting evidence for each claim
2. Source Evaluation
- Assessment of source credibility
- Identification of limitations
- Confidence levels for different claims
3. Remaining Questions
- Areas requiring further investigation
- Conflicting information needing resolution
- Gaps in current knowledge
Tools Integration
Web Research
- -
web_search: Initial broad search to identify sources - -
web_fetch: Retrieve detailed content from specific URLs - -
browser: For complex sites or when web_fetch fails
Content Processing
- -
read: Process downloaded content or documents - -
write: Create structured research notes - -
edit: Refine and organize findings
Memory & Organization
- -

write: Create persistent research records - -Structured file organization for findings
Research Quality Standards
Source Diversity
- -Include multiple perspectives on controversial topics
- -Balance popular and academic sources
- -Include international viewpoints when relevant
- -Seek primary sources when possible
Temporal Relevance
- -Prioritize recent information for fast-changing topics
- -Consider historical context for trend analysis
- -Note when information was published
- -Flag potentially outdated information
Authority Assessment
- -Prioritize peer-reviewed academic sources
- -Consider author credentials and institutional affiliation
- -Check for potential conflicts of interest
- -Verify organizational reputation
Iterative Research Approach
Cycle 1: General Overview
- -Broad search to understand the topic landscape
- -Identify key terms, concepts, and stakeholders
- -Establish initial research questions
Cycle 2: Focused Investigation
- -Targeted searches based on initial findings
- -Deep dive into specific aspects
- -Begin synthesis of information
Cycle 3: Validation & Refinement
- -Verify key claims across multiple sources
- -Resolve contradictions
- -Refine understanding based on evidence
Cycle 4: Synthesis & Reporting
- -Combine findings into coherent narrative
- -Identify remaining uncertainties
- -Prepare final research report
