deep-research
Research question: $ARGUMENTS or derive from context.
- Clarify the question in one sentence; break into sub-questions if ambiguous. Fan out — search 3+ different angles or phrasings.
- Fetch and read primary sources directly — don't rely on search snippet summaries. Cross-verify key claims across 2+ independent sources.
- Cite every factual claim with its source (URL/doc name). Mark unverified/single-source claims [UNVERIFIED]. Never fabricate sources, stats, or quotes — note contradictions explicitly. Prefer primary sources over blogs.
