Deep Research Skill

When given a research task:

1. Decompose the question into 3-5 sub-questions
2. Search multiple sources for each sub-question using Bash + curl
3. Cross-reference findings across sources
4. Synthesize into a structured report with:
   • Executive summary (3-5 sentences)
   • Key findings (bullet points)
   • Detailed analysis (organized by sub-topic)
   • Sources cited
   • Confidence level and caveats

Search Methods

# DuckDuckGo (no API key needed)
curl -s "https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=QUERY" | grep -oP '(?<=<a rel="nofollow" class="result__a" href=").*?(?=")'

# Fetch readable content from URL
curl -sL URL | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | head -200

# Wikipedia API
curl -s "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/TOPIC"

Quality Standards

• Never present a single source as definitive
• Flag conflicting information explicitly
• Distinguish facts from opinions
• Include dates/recency of information
• Rate overall confidence: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
