Deep Research Skill
Conduct multi-source web research on a given topic and produce a structured, citation-backed report.
Workflow
1. Clarify Scope
If the topic is vague, ask the user to narrow down:
- What specific aspect? (기술 비교, 트렌드, 경쟁사, 도입 사례, etc.)
- Target audience or context? (스타트업, 대기업, 개인 프로젝트, etc.)
- Depth? (quick overview vs deep dive)
If the topic is clear enough, proceed directly.
2. Research Plan
Before searching, outline 3-5 research angles to cover. For example, a tech comparison might cover:
- Core features & philosophy
- Performance benchmarks
- Ecosystem & community
- Learning curve & DX
- Production adoption & case studies
3. Multi-Source Search
Execute 5-10 WebSearch queries from different angles:
- Direct topic searches
- "vs" comparisons
- "{topic} pros cons {current year}"
- "{topic} production experience"
- Reddit/HN discussions for real-world opinions
- Korean sources via Naver/Korean keywords when relevant
For each promising result, use WebFetch to extract key details.
4. Synthesize
Compile findings into a structured report:
# Research Report: {Topic}
> Researched: {date}
## TL;DR
{3-5 bullet executive summary}
## {Section 1 — varies by topic}
{Analysis with specific data points}
## {Section 2}
...
## {Section N}
...
## Comparison Table (if applicable)
| Criteria | Option A | Option B | ... |
|---|---|---|---|
## Recommendation
{Clear recommendation with reasoning}
{Conditions or caveats}
## Sources
- [Title](URL) — {1-line summary of what was extracted}
- ...5. Deliver
- Present the report directly in chat
- If the user wants it saved, write to a file (suggest
research/{topic-slug}.md)
Research Quality Rules
- Recency: Prefer sources from the last 12 months. Flag outdated information.
- Diversity: Mix official docs, blog posts, community discussions, benchmarks. Don't rely on a single source.
- Specificity: Include concrete numbers (stars, downloads, benchmark results, adoption stats) over vague claims.
- Honesty: If information is conflicting or uncertain, say so. Don't present opinions as facts.
- Attribution: Every claim should trace back to a source in the Sources section.
Language
- Write the report in the user's language (Korean if they asked in Korean)
- Keep technical terms in English with Korean explanation where helpful
- Source titles can remain in their original language
