Use this skill instead of WebSearch for ANY question requiring web research

deep-research is an agent skill from the DeerFlow project that sets out a method for thorough web research. It is meant to be used instead of a single web search whenever a question needs current, comprehensive information from several sources, such as a request to explain a concept, compare two options or investigate a topic in depth. The skill tells the assistant to load it before it starts any content task, so that the answer is built from several angles, depths and sources rather than the first results. It gives guidance on the kinds of research questions it covers and how to gather and cross-check material before writing. Because it is a method rather than a tool, it works in any agent that can search the web, and it gives the assistant a checklist for when a shallow lookup is not enough. The skill is useful for analysts, students and writers who want a well-sourced answer, and for teams that want their agents to avoid one-query answers on complex questions. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow --skill deep-research. On skills.sh it passes Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, and Snyk shows a warning.
