What it does
- Forces you to pin down the research question, scope boundaries, depth, and deliverable format before searching.
- Runs a six-step pipeline: scoping → exploratory sweep → deep dives → cross-referencing → synthesis → final report.
- Ships a report template (executive summary, introduction, thematic body, analysis, conclusions, sources).
- Suggests analysis frameworks such as SWOT, compare/contrast, timeline, stakeholder, and gap analysis.
- Includes a pitfalls list (confirmation bias, single-source dependence, stale data) and a progress checklist.
Who it's for
- Strategists, marketers, and consultants producing market or competitor research.
- Engineers and tech leads writing technology comparisons or architecture reviews.
- Students, researchers, and newsletter writers doing literature reviews and trend roundups.
Examples
- "Do deep research on the vertical SaaS billing market" → thematic report on market size, key players, regulation, outlook.
- "Deep dive: Postgres vs. ClickHouse for analytics workloads" → benchmark data, cost of ownership, adoption cases with cross-checked sources.
- "Build a due-diligence brief on this startup" → team, product, competition, and risks framed with SWOT and stakeholder analysis.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/deep-researcher folder from the GitHub repo Karanjot786/agent-skills-cli into my ~/.claude/skills/deep-researcher/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/Karanjot786/agent-skills-cli.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r agent-skills-cli/skills/deep-researcher ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS/Linux, Git Bash or WSL on Windows).
- Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Clone the repo into a temp path:
git clone https://github.com/Karanjot786/agent-skills-cli.git /tmp/agent-skills-cli - Copy just this skill:
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills-cli/skills/deep-researcher ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify it landed:
ls ~/.claude/skills/deep-researcher/SKILL.md - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "do comprehensive research on the AI inference chip market".
- For topics needing fresh data, allow Claude Code's web search/browsing tools so sources can actually be fetched.
