Deep Research Workflow

Use this skill to conduct thorough research on: $ARGUMENTS

Research Process

Phase 1: Initial Discovery

1. Use google_search with the main topic to find top sources
2. Note the source types (academic, docs, news, blogs) and quality scores
3. Identify 2-3 subtopics or angles that emerge

Phase 2: Targeted Deep Dives

For each important subtopic:

1. Run focused google_search queries
2. Use extract_webpage_content on the highest-quality sources (authority > 70%)
3. Extract full content for sources that seem most authoritative

Phase 3: Synthesis

Use research_topic with:

• depth: "advanced" for comprehensive analysis
• focus_areas based on subtopics identified in Phase 1
• num_sources: 8 minimum for thorough coverage

Phase 4: Gap Analysis

After synthesis, identify:

• Questions that weren't fully answered
• Contradictions between sources
• Areas needing more recent information

Run additional targeted searches to fill gaps.
