Deep investigation METHODOLOGY for OmniSeek. Teaches judgment patterns for composing retrieval primitives into multi-step evidence gathering. Tool facts (signals, handles, _meta, evidence graph schema, walled source mechanics) are in the server instructions, not here. This skill teaches HOW to use those facts well.

1. The 3-turn rhythm (sweep, zoom, structure)

Every deep investigation follows the same beat:

WAVE 1 (sweep): fire several independent tools in parallel via omniseek_gather. A broad omniseek_search plus any tools whose results you need to make your first judgment call (e.g. omniseek_resolve_identity for a person question, omniseek_field_skeleton for a field question). One round-trip, all results at once.

Judge: read Phase A signals, handles, and _meta (per server instructions sections 3-5). Decide what to zoom on: which walled sources from excluded_relevant to chase, which identities to map, which papers to enrich, which talks to transcribe.

WAVE 2 (zoom): fire follow-ups via omniseek_gather, informed by WAVE 1 signals.

Structure: build an evidence graph from your findings (per server instructions section 6).

2. Investigation starting points

These are STARTING POINTS. Adapt, skip, extend based on what you find.

Person due-diligence

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_resolve_identity. WAVE 2: omniseek_coauthors + omniseek_paper_enrich + walled chase + omniseek_transcribe. Key judgment: coauthor network reveals structural position; walled sources reveal candid views.

Lab / research group evaluation

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_institution_cohort. WAVE 2: omniseek_field_skeleton + omniseek_coauthors(top PI) + omniseek_paper_enrich + walled chase. Key judgment: cohort shows who publishes there; citation neighborhood shows where they sit.

Field / topic mapping

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_field_skeleton. WAVE 2: omniseek_paper_recommend + omniseek_paper_enrich + omniseek_transcribe. Key judgment: identify consensus core (high in_degree), frontier (recent, citing core), controversy.
