  2. 02Requires clarifying questions and plan approval
  3. 03Runs multiple research cycles per theme
  4. 04Checks claims across sources and handles contradictions
  5. 05Formats citations and references in APA 7th

Use cases

  1. 01Prepare an academic literature review
  2. 02Verify claims across multiple sources

Academic Deep Research 🔬

When to Use

Native tools: web_search, web_fetch, sessions_spawn

Trigger this skill when the user wants:

  • Deep research, exhaustive analysis, or literature review
  • Multi-source verification and evidence hierarchies
  • Academic-style reports with citations

Required Stop Points

  1. Initial engagement: ask 2–3 clarifying questions and confirm understanding.
  2. Research plan: present themes, steps, and deliverables; wait for approval.
  3. Final report: deliver full narrative report with citations.

Minimum Requirements

  • Two full research cycles per theme.
  • Analyze between every tool call.
  • Multiple sources per claim; contradictions addressed.
  • APA 7th in-text citations and reference list.
  • Narrative-only final report (no lists or tables).

References

  • reference/protocol.md — research phases, tool order, and analysis rules
  • reference/writing-style.md — narrative constraints and phase formatting
  • reference/citations-apa.md — citation rules and examples
  • reference/report-template.md — required report structure
  • reference/error-handling.md — gaps, contradictions, failures
  • reference/quality-standards.md — evidence hierarchy and confidence levels
  • reference/parallel-research.md — sessions_spawn workflow
  • quickref.md — short checklist
  • example.md — sample usage
