Deep Research

A P0–P7 research pipeline with parallel subagents, a locked citation registry, source-type governance and mandatory counter-review for traceable reports.

Content & WritingAdvanced1,323212AI score 10/10Last updated: Aug 8, 2026

What it does

  • Breaks a research question into 4–6 tasks (3–4 in Lightweight mode) and dispatches them to expert-persona subagents in parallel groups of three.
  • Keeps raw search results inside subagent contexts; the lead agent drafts only from distilled notes (~60–70% context savings).
  • Classifies every source by type (official, academic, secondary-industry, journalism, community) and by accessibility, then enforces quality gates (min approved sources, ≥5 unique domains, ≥30% official, ≤25% single-source share) before it enters the citation registry.
  • Sets an explicit AS_OF date, downgrades stale evidence, requires a counter-review pass that must surface ≥3 issues, and verifies every [n] against the approved registry.
  • Enterprise mode adds six-dimension data collection plus SWOT, weighted competitive-barrier scoring, an 8-category risk matrix, a scorecard and a 7-chapter report template.

Who it's for

  • Analysts, consultants and strategists producing market, industry or competitive reports.
  • Policy, investment and due-diligence writers who need every claim traceable to a source.
  • Researchers and grad students who want structural guardrails against fabricated URLs and numbers.

Examples

  1. "Write a report on the B2B SaaS payments market" → 5 parallel tasks, registry meeting the official-source quota, 3,000–8,000 word report with confidence markers.
  2. "Competitive analysis of Company X" → Enterprise mode: six data dimensions, SWOT, risk matrix, 7-chapter report with source index.
  3. "Quick survey of RAG vendors for tech selection" → Lightweight mode with 3 tasks, 2,000–4,000 words plus a Key Controversies section.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/HEAD/deep-research/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the deep-research folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/deep-research ~/.claude/skills/

This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open your terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder if needed: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-code-skills/deep-research ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Confirm the references/ subfolder came along — it holds the report templates and quality checklists the skill loads.
  6. Restart Claude Code and prompt with something like "write a research report on …" to trigger it.
  7. Make sure web search (and ideally web fetch plus subagent dispatch) is enabled; without search the skill stops at phase P0.
