# Deep Research Skill

Enterprise-grade autonomous deep research with validated reports.

## Usage

```
/deep-research "<topic>" [--depth quick|standard|deep|exhaustive] [--focus technical|market|competitive]
/deep-research status
```

## 8-Phase Pipeline

| Phase | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Decompose | Break topic into sub-queries |
| 2. Broad Search | Initial wide search for sources |
| 3. Collect | Gather and deduplicate sources |
| 4. Score | Rate source credibility (domain authority, recency, citations) |
| 5. Extract | Deep content extraction from top sources |
| 6. Cross-Reference | Verify claims across multiple sources |
| 7. Synthesize | Combine findings into coherent narrative |
| 8. Report | Generate structured report with citations |

## Depth Levels

| Level | Sub-queries | Sources | Time |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `quick` | 2-3 | 5-10 | ~30s |
| `standard` | 4-6 | 10-20 | ~2min |
| `deep` | 8-12 | 20-40 | ~5min |
| `exhaustive` | 15-20 | 40-80 | ~15min |

## Report Structure

- Executive Summary
- Key Findings (ranked by confidence)
- Detailed Analysis (per sub-topic)
- Source Bibliography (with credibility scores)
- Methodology Notes
