deep-research
Run multi-source web research with adversarial verification and produce a cited report: decomposes the question into 3-6 distinct queries (broad, specific, comparative, recency-anchored), searches and ranks sources by authority, recency, and specificity, fetches the top 5-10 and extracts facts with per-fact source IDs, then runs an adversarial pass that actively searches for evidence CONTRADICTING each key claim, and synthesizes a themed report with a TL;DR, inline [n] citations, an explicit conflicts section, and coverage caveats, saved to ~/research-reports/ and printed inline. Use when the user says: research this topic, deep dive on X, what's the current state of X, compare X vs Y with sources, find evidence for/against, fact-checked report, is it true that X, literature scan, market scan, due diligence on X, cited summary of X.

What does the deep-research skill do?
Run multi-source web research with adversarial verification and produce a cited report: decomposes the question into 3-6 distinct queries (broad, specific, comparative, recency-anchored), searches and ranks sources by authority, recency, and specificity, fetches the top 5-10 and extracts facts with per-fact source IDs, then runs an adversarial pass that actively searches for evidence CONTRADICTING each key claim, and synthesizes a themed report with a TL;DR, inline [n] citations, an explicit conflicts section, and coverage caveats, saved to ~/research-reports/ and printed inline. Use when the user says: research this topic, deep dive on X, what's the current state of X, compare X vs Y with sources, find evidence for/against, fact-checked report, is it true that X, literature scan, market scan, due diligence on X, cited summary of X. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the deep-research skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install deep-research` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does deep-research work with?
deep-research runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the deep-research skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use deep-research after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/deep-research` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the deep-research skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
