About deep-research

deep-research

Produce cited research reports from multiple web sources

deep-research is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It produces cited research reports from many web sources, using the firecrawl and exa MCP tools. The agent plans sub-questions, searches, reads the sources in depth, then synthesises the findings into a report. It fits deep dives on any topic, competitive analysis, technology evaluation, market sizing, due diligence on companies or investors, and questions that need several sources combined. The skill carries a warning that its MCP tool names, quotas and result formats change, so the agent should check the configured tools and current API documentation before promising coverage or quoting live source counts. It needs those MCP servers configured to work. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Snyk warning.
