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

Topic Analysis
- Clarify research scope
- Identify key concepts and terms
- Define specific questions to answer
Broad Search
- Use
```
web_search
```
  to identify major sources
- Gather diverse perspectives
- Map the landscape of available information
Source Prioritization
- Rank sources by authority and relevance
- Identify primary vs. secondary sources
- Note publication dates and context

Phase 2: Deep Dive

Detailed Content Extraction
- Use
```
web_fetch
```
  to retrieve full articles/pages
- Extract key information systematically
- Maintain source attribution
Cross-Reference Analysis
- Compare claims across multiple sources
- Identify agreements and disagreements
- Note inconsistencies for further investigation
Expert Sources
- Seek academic papers, expert opinions
- Look for peer-reviewed sources
- Identify recognized authorities on the topic

Phase 3: Synthesis & Validation

Pattern Recognition
- Identify consistent themes across sources
- Highlight areas of disagreement
- Note gaps in available information
Fact Verification
- Cross-check claims against authoritative sources
- Verify dates, statistics, and attributions
- Identify potential misinformation
Bias Assessment
- Evaluate source objectivity
- Identify potential conflicts of interest
- Consider temporal context of information

Phase 4: Report Generation

Structured Summary
- Executive summary of key findings
- Detailed findings organized by theme
- Supporting evidence for each claim
Source Evaluation
- Assessment of source credibility
- Identification of limitations
- Confidence levels for different claims
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

```
memory_get
```
/
```
memory_search
```
: Reference previous research
```
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
