Deep Research Protocol
For comprehensive multi-stream research, load research-coordinator instead. It orchestrates parallel domain researchers (social media, code/ML, academic, market intelligence) and synthesizes a full intelligence brief.
This skill covers the simpler case: single-agent research with direct skill access.
MUST LOAD THIS SKILL BEFORE ANY RESEARCH TASK.
Required Skills (load ALL of these first)
| # | Skill | Purpose |
|---|
| 1 | web-research | Web search, scraping, extraction |
| 2 | youtube-content | YouTube transcripts and video research |
| 3 | xitter | X/Twitter discussions and sentiment |
| 4 | github-research | GitHub repos, stars, issues, activity |
| 5 | reddit-research | Reddit communities and discussions |
Workflow
STEP 1: skill_view() each of the 5 skills above IN ORDER
(web-research, youtube-content, xitter, github-research, reddit-research)
STEP 2: For each skill, note:
- Required tools/commands
- Rate limits or usage notes
- Key gh commands (for github-research)
STEP 3: Plan research subagents
- Assign specific skills to each subagent based on their research focus
- Pass the relevant skill names in the skills parameter
STEP 4: Spawn subagents with skills=[...] attached
Example:
sessions_spawn(
task: "Research X using web-research + github-research + xitter skills",
skills: ["web-research", "github-research", "xitter"]
)
STEP 5: Synthesize results from all subagents
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ DO NOT spawn subagents with just toolsets: ["web"]
✅ ALWAYS load the 5 skills first, then pass skills to subagents
❌ DO NOT skip skill loading "to save time"
✅ Research quality depends on having the right tools available
❌ DO NOT skip xitter if the topic likely has X/Twitter discussion
✅ Social sentiment is part of comprehensive research
Trigger Conditions
Automatically load this skill when user says:
- "deep research"
- "do research on"
- "research this topic"
- "find out about"
- "investigate"
- Any variant of research requests
This Skill Is Mandatory
If a research task is requested and this skill was NOT loaded, go back and load it before proceeding. No exceptions.
