| description | Generate format-controlled research reports with evidence tracking, citations, and iterative review. This skill should be used when users request a research report, literature review, market or industry analysis, competitive landscape, policy or technical brief, or require a strict report template and section formatting that a single deepresearch pass cannot reliably enforce. |

Deep Research
Create high-fidelity research reports with strict format control, evidence mapping, and multi-pass synthesis.
Quick Start
- Clarify the report spec and format contract
- Build a research plan and query set
- Collect evidence with the deepresearch tool (multi-pass if needed)
- Triage sources and build an evidence table
- Draft the full report in multiple complete passes (parallel subagents)
- UNION merge, enforce format compliance, verify citations
- Present draft for human review and iterate
Core Workflow
Copy this checklist and track progress:
Deep Research Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Intake and format contract
- [ ] Step 2: Research plan and query set
- [ ] Step 3: Evidence collection (deepresearch tool)
- [ ] Step 4: Source triage and evidence table
- [ ] Step 5: Outline and section map
- [ ] Step 6: Multi-pass full drafting (parallel subagents)
- [ ] Step 7: UNION merge and format compliance
- [ ] Step 8: Evidence and citation verification
- [ ] Step 9: Present draft for human review and iterate
Step 1: Intake and Format Contract
Establish the report requirements before any research:
- Confirm audience, purpose, scope, time range, and geography
- Lock output format: Markdown, DOCX, slides, or user-provided template
- Capture required sections and exact formatting rules
- Confirm citation style (footnotes, inline, numbered, APA, etc.)
- Confirm length targets per section
- Ask for any existing style guide or sample report
Create a concise report spec file:
Report Spec:
- Audience:
- Purpose:
- Scope:
- Time Range:
- Geography:
- Required Sections:
- Section Formatting Rules:
- Citation Style:
- Output Format:
- Length Targets:
- Tone:
- Must-Include Sources:
- Must-Exclude Topics:
If a user provides a template or an example report, treat it as a hard constraint and mirror the structure.
Step 2: Research Plan and Query Set
Define the research strategy before calling tools:
- Break the main question into 3-7 subquestions
- Define key entities, keywords, and synonyms
- Identify primary sources vs secondary sources
- Define disqualifiers (outdated, low quality, opinion-only)
- Assemble a query set per section

Step 3: Evidence Collection (Deepresearch Tool)
Use the deepresearch tool to collect evidence and citations.
