About deep-research
deep-research is an investigation skill for examining a code repository and reporting evidence-backed findings. It guides users through locating relevant files, tracing code paths, and listing unresolved questions without implementing changes.
Key features
- 01Broad file discovery with Glob
- 02Identifier and call-site search with Grep
- 03Trace code references to clarify flows
- 04Findings supported by file paths
- 05Separate key locations and open questions
- 06Investigation only; no code changes
Use cases
- 01Map an unfamiliar repository's structure
- 02Trace an identifier through its call sites
- 03Prepare evidence-backed findings for a code review

Research $ARGUMENTS thoroughly.
Required output
- Findings: 3-10 bullets, each backed by specific file references
- Key code locations: a short list of the most important paths to read next
- Open questions / unknowns: what you could not confirm from the repo
Method
- Start broad: use Glob to find likely modules.
- Then go deep: use Grep to locate exact identifiers and call sites.
- Read the top-ranked files and follow references until the flow is clear.
- Stop when you hit diminishing returns (two additional searches yield no new information).
Rules
- Be evidence-driven: always cite file paths.
- Do not implement changes; this skill is for investigation only.
