Matrix Deep Research
Perform comprehensive research on a topic using multiple sources: web search, Context7 documentation, Matrix memory, GitHub repositories, and more.
Usage
Parse user arguments from the skill invocation (text after the trigger phrase).
Format: <query> [depth]
- query: The research topic or question
- depth (optional):
quick | standard | exhaustive (default: standard)
Depth Levels
- quick: Fast research using 2-3 sources, ~500 words output
- standard: Balanced research using 4-5 sources, ~1500 words output
- exhaustive: Deep research using 6+ sources, ~3000+ words output
Research Pipeline
Follow the 5-phase research pipeline detailed in references/research-pipeline.md:
- Phase 1: Query Expansion - Analyze query, generate sub-queries, identify domains
- Phase 2: Multi-Source Gathering - Collect from Web, Context7, Matrix, GitHub
- Phase 3: Content Fetching - Retrieve full content from promising URLs
- Phase 4: Synthesis - Deduplicate, organize, identify patterns
- Phase 5: Output - Generate polished markdown report
Output
Save to session directory: $CLAUDE_SESSION_DIR/matrix-research-[slug]-[timestamp].md
If $CLAUDE_SESSION_DIR is not available, fall back to current working directory.
After completing research:
- Display a summary of findings in the chat
- Report the full markdown file location
- Offer to elaborate on any section
Examples
/matrix:deep-research React Server Components best practices standard
/matrix:deep-research "how to implement OAuth 2.0 with PKCE" exhaustive
/matrix:deep-research TypeScript generics quick
