Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.

majiayu000 Bundle Deep Research 8Use this skill when the user wants an evidence-based research memo, literature review, market/policy/technical landscape, or a multi-source decision brief with citations, trade-offs, and a clear conclusion. Best for tasks that need synthesis across multiple external sources, iterative follow-up research, or a reusable written artifact. Do not use for quick factual lookups, single-source summaries, simple Q&A, summarizing one document the user already provided, plan-only requests where the user explicitly defers the actual research, or when the user wants a short answer with no need for cited evidence (a short but evidence-backed conclusion is still a brief memo, which this skill covers).
