deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas-Awesome-AgentSkills. It costs 3 tokens per session (1,820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for careful research on complex questions, including finding evidence, comparing sources, and writing a report with citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for literature reviews, market or industry research, trend analysis, and checking claims across multiple sources. It can also help plan research before starting.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying on weak sources or overlooking disagreements between them. It also makes the research process and its limits clear.

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 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

deep-research

Guide-type skill for rigorous, transparent research. Use it to investigate a complex topic, collect and evaluate evidence, resolve contradictions when possible, and produce a cited research report.

This skill is not a tutoring skill. It does not teach step by step, grade homework, organize local files, or manage a thesis project. It focuses on evidence collection, source evaluation, synthesis, and research reporting.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Deep research, systematic investigation, literature review, competitive research, market/industry research, or trend analysis.
  • A report with citations, source-quality discussion, methodology notes, confidence levels, and limitations.
  • Scholarly evidence gathering as part of a broader research question: paper database searches, DOI / PMID / arXiv metadata checks, open-access clues, and bibliography validation.
  • Verification of claims across multiple sources.
  • A research plan before execution.
  • A synthesis that distinguishes strong evidence, weak evidence, unresolved contradictions, and open questions.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Quick factual lookup or a single-source summary.
  • Lightweight single-paper lookup, pure arXiv reading, or bibliography cleanup without a broader research synthesis.
  • Homework coaching, Socratic tutoring, quiz sessions, or thesis supervision.
  • Local document cleanup, bibliography-file management, or bulk folder organization.
  • Ghostwritten academic submissions where the user intends to submit the report as their own work without attribution.

How to call

Follow the workflow in references/research-workflow.md.

  1. Clarify the research task before collecting evidence. Ask two or three essential questions about the decision, depth, scope, timeframe, geography, audience, and source preferences.

  2. Restate the research objective. Confirm the interpreted question, intended output, and known constraints. Wait for the user's correction or confirmation when the scope is ambiguous.

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.
