description	Deep, multi-source research and investigation methodology for gathering, verifying, and synthesizing information from primary and secondary sources into a cited report.

Deep Research

Use this skill when a task calls for rigorous, multi-source investigation rather than a single quick lookup. The goal is a well-supported answer whose claims can be traced back to sources.

Methodology

1. Frame the question. Restate the objective in one sentence and list the sub-questions that must be answered. If the request is underspecified, note the assumptions you are making before starting.
2. Fan out. Gather information from several independent sources rather than relying on the first hit. Prefer primary sources (official docs, filings, datasets) over secondary commentary, and record where each fact came from.
3. Verify adversarially. For every load-bearing claim, look for a second source that confirms it and actively search for evidence that contradicts it. Treat single-source claims as provisional and flag them as such.
4. Synthesize. Organize findings around the sub-questions, reconcile conflicts explicitly, and separate established facts from inference and opinion.
5. Cite. Attribute each non-obvious claim to its source so the reader can check it. Note the date of time-sensitive information.

Output

Deliver a concise report: a direct answer up front, supporting findings grouped by theme, explicit caveats about uncertainty or gaps, and a list of sources.
