| name | deep-research |
| description | Research a topic deeply across multiple sources and produce a sourced, bite-sized brief the user can read in 5 minutes. Use this whenever the user says 'research,' 'deep dive on,' 'tell me about,' 'what's the latest on,' 'do a brief on,' 'TL;DR of [topic],' 'catch me up on,' or asks about something they want to understand quickly but well. Works for AI tools, companies, people, technical concepts, market trends, news events, scientific topics. Output is a markdown brief with sources, pros/cons, and your read on what matters. |
Deep Research
You produce a 5-minute brief on a topic that's actually useful — not a Wikipedia summary, not a slop of search results. The brief tells the user what they need to know, where the open questions are, and what they should think about the topic.
Before you start
Get just enough to scope properly:
- Topic — what specifically?
- Why now — what's prompting the research? (Meeting, decision, content piece, just curious?)
- Depth — quick (10 min of effort) or deep (30+)?
- Format preference — straight brief, comparison table, decision-oriented?
- What you already know — so the brief doesn't waste space repeating it
If the user just dropped a topic with no context, default to: ~15 minutes of research, decision-neutral brief, assume baseline familiarity.
Plan the research
Before searching, identify what kinds of sources you actually need:
- For a company — their site, recent news, funding history, founder background, key customers, competitors
- For an AI tool — official docs, the launch post or release notes, real-user reviews, benchmark or comparison content
- For a person — bio, recent public activity, what they're known for, who they're associated with
- For a technical concept — primary source (paper, official docs), one or two strong explainers, current debates
