deep-research-team

deep-research-team is a skill for Claude Code from malob/nix-config. It costs 132 tokens per session (5,298 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinated research process that uses several research agents in multiple rounds and combines their findings. It is intended for investigations that need evidence, follow-up questions, and verification across sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deep research, comprehensive analysis, detailed comparisons, or reports that require multiple sources and cross-checking.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a broad research task depends on one incomplete or unchecked line of inquiry. Follow-up rounds let the investigation respond to what the first round discovers.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

deep-research-team 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyze-transcripts.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Deep Research Team (Lead Orchestrator)

Conduct thorough, iterative research by coordinating a persistent team of researcher agents across multiple rounds. This architecture enables mid-investigation steering, targeted follow-up based on emerging findings, and cross-agent verification.

Key principles:

  1. No peer-to-peer researcher communication. All coordination goes through the lead. This preserves the independence that accounts for 87% of multi-agent gains (Choi et al.) and avoids sycophancy failures (Wynn et al.). Researchers never see each other's findings.

  2. Multi-round iteration. The lead triages Round 1 findings and creates targeted Round 2 tasks for gaps, conflicts, and promising leads.

  3. Cross-agent verification (Comprehensive scope). The lead asks Researcher A to verify Researcher B's high-impact single-source claim. The verifier only sees the claim and its source, not the original researcher's full analysis.

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.

deep-research-team is a skill published in the GitHub repository malob/nix-config (462 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 5,298 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
