deepresearch

deepresearch is a skill for Claude Code from cyberelf/agent_skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured research process for producing multi-part reports on topics such as security threats, technology trends, markets, laws, and policies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for source-backed security analysis, technology and ecosystem research, market forecasts, or legal and compliance research.
Why use it?
It keeps conclusions tied to confirmed sources and postpones design assumptions until the research is complete.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deepresearch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deep Research Skill

Conduct rigorous, multi-part research on a complex topic producing a report grounded entirely in confirmed sources. No design assumptions before research is complete. All claims backed by source links.

Skill Files

This skill is split across files — read the relevant ones before proceeding:

File Purpose
security.md Full template and agent prompts for security research mode
techtrend.md Full template and agent prompts for tech trend / ecosystem research mode
law-policy.md Full template and agent prompts for law, policy, regulatory, and compliance research mode
report-template.html HTML report template — use when user requests an HTML output

Step 1: Detect Mode

Determine research mode from the query before reading any template:

Mode Trigger keywords Template to read
security security, threat, CVE, attack, defense, vulnerability, exploit, risk, malware Read security.md
techtrend trend, forecast, ecosystem, landscape, technology, hardware, market, adoption Read techtrend.md
law-policy law, policy, regulation, compliance, legal requirement, statutory, retention, audit trail, recordkeeping, regulator, licensee, service provider, data residency, data protection, privacy, telecom law, cybersecurity law Read law-policy.md
Ambiguous None clearly applies, or multiple modes are plausible Ask: "Is this a security analysis, technology trend/ecosystem research, or law/policy compliance research?"

Step 2: Read the Template

After detecting mode, read the appropriate template file in full before writing the research plan or launching agents. The template files contain:

  • The 5-part structure for that mode
  • Per-part research questions and source guidance
  • Agent prompt scaffolding
  • Lessons learned specific to that mode

Step 3: Execute

Follow the execution steps in the template. The core workflow is the same for all modes:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deepresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyberelf/agent_skills (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,363 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
