bigph00t Research Skill
Research any topic using multi-agent web search and AI synthesis.
When to Use
USE THIS FOR ALL EXTERNAL LOOKUPS - not WebFetch or WebSearch.
- GitHub repos, libraries, or tools (e.g., "cocoindex data framework")
- Looking up unfamiliar APIs or libraries
- Need documentation or best practices
- Comparing technologies or approaches
- Encountering errors you don't recognize
- Validating technical decisions
- ANY URL you want to understand (research the topic, not just fetch)
Usage
The research service must be running. Check with:
curl http://localhost:3200/api/health
Quick Research (~10s)
For simple facts, definitions, quick lookups:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3200/api/research \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "What is HTMX?", "depth": "quick", "trigger": "manual"}'
Medium Research (~30s) - Default
For how-to questions, documentation lookup:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3200/api/research \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "How to implement rate limiting in FastAPI", "trigger": "manual"}'
Deep Research (~60s)
For comprehensive comparisons, complex topics:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3200/api/research \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "Rust vs Go for CLI tools", "depth": "deep", "trigger": "manual"}'
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | The research topic or question |
| depth | No | quick, medium (default), or deep |
| context | No | Additional context to focus the research |
Examples
