Deep Research Framework

Overview

The Deep Research skill provides a systematic approach to conducting thorough investigations on any topic. It combines multiple tools and methodologies to gather, analyze, verify, and synthesize information.

Core Components

1. Research Planning

Define research objectives

Identify key questions

Establish search criteria

Determine validation requirements

2. Information Gathering

Multi-source web search

Content extraction from various formats

Source diversity verification

Temporal relevance assessment

3. Analysis & Synthesis

Cross-reference multiple sources

Identify patterns and contradictions

Evaluate source credibility

Organize findings systematically

4. Validation & Verification

Fact-checking against authoritative sources

Cross-validation of claims

Identify potential biases

Assess information reliability

Research Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Investigation

1. Topic Analysis - Clarify research scope - Identify key concepts and terms - Define specific questions to answer

2. Broad Search - Use web_search to identify major sources - Gather diverse perspectives - Map the landscape of available information

3. Source Prioritization - Rank sources by authority and relevance - Identify primary vs. secondary sources - Note publication dates and context

Phase 2: Deep Dive

1. Detailed Content Extraction - Use web_fetch to retrieve full articles/pages - Extract key information systematically - Maintain source attribution

2. Cross-Reference Analysis - Compare claims across multiple sources - Identify agreements and disagreements - Note inconsistencies for further investigation

3. Expert Sources - Seek academic papers, expert opinions - Look for peer-reviewed sources - Identify recognized authorities on the topic

Phase 3: Synthesis & Validation

1. Pattern Recognition - Identify consistent themes across sources - Highlight areas of disagreement - Note gaps in available information

2. Fact Verification - Cross-check claims against authoritative sources - Verify dates, statistics, and attributions - Identify potential misinformation

3. Bias Assessment - Evaluate source objectivity - Identify potential conflicts of interest - Consider temporal context of information

Phase 4: Report Generation

1. Structured Summary - Executive summary of key findings - Detailed findings organized by theme - Supporting evidence for each claim

2. Source Evaluation - Assessment of source credibility - Identification of limitations - Confidence levels for different claims

3. Remaining Questions - Areas requiring further investigation - Conflicting information needing resolution - Gaps in current knowledge

Tools Integration

Web Research

web_search: Initial broad search to identify sources

web_fetch: Retrieve detailed content from specific URLs

browser: For complex sites or when web_fetch fails

Content Processing

read: Process downloaded content or documents

write: Create structured research notes

edit: Refine and organize findings

Memory & Organization

memory_get / memory_search: Reference previous research

write: Create persistent research records

Structured file organization for findings

Research Quality Standards

Source Diversity

Include multiple perspectives on controversial topics

Balance popular and academic sources

Include international viewpoints when relevant

Seek primary sources when possible

Temporal Relevance

Prioritize recent information for fast-changing topics

Consider historical context for trend analysis

Note when information was published

Flag potentially outdated information

Authority Assessment

Prioritize peer-reviewed academic sources

Consider author credentials and institutional affiliation

Check for potential conflicts of interest

Verify organizational reputation

Iterative Research Approach

Cycle 1: General Overview

Broad search to understand the topic landscape

Identify key terms, concepts, and stakeholders

Establish initial research questions

Cycle 2: Focused Investigation

Targeted searches based on initial findings

Deep dive into specific aspects

Begin synthesis of information

Cycle 3: Validation & Refinement

Verify key claims across multiple sources

Resolve contradictions

Refine understanding based on evidence

Cycle 4: Synthesis & Reporting

Combine findings into coherent narrative

Identify remaining uncertainties

Prepare final research report
