About deep-research
deep-research
Universal deep research agent team
Deep Research is a universal academic research agent team. It is a domain-agnostic pipeline of thirteen agents for rigorous research on any topic, rather than a tool tied to one field. The skill offers eight modes, starting with a full research run, a quick brief and a paper review, and the skill lists its remaining modes. Its report compiler writes the executive summary and synthesis, and it applies a style profile from the academic paper skill when one is available, treating discipline conventions and report objectivity as the priority. The compiler uses the writing quality check as a diagnostic before it finalises a report, and it flags any claim that the cited sources do not support as a material gap, rather than hedging it. Use it when you need a sourced, evidence-based overview of a topic, a quick brief, or a critical reading of a paper. It follows the same routing rules as the other academic skills in the repository, including an escape hatch for messages that begin with a direct-mode token and clarifying questions when cross-phase materials are supplied. It is published in the imbad0202/academic-research-skills repository on GitHub, and the listing shows it as free.
