deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code from shobcoder/shob. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,158 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-stage research workflow that decomposes a question, searches several sources, checks claims against one another, resolves disagreements, and produces a cited report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deeply sourced investigations that need multiple sub-questions, cross-checking, conflict resolution, and a final quality review.
Why use it?
It gives a large research request a repeatable structure and makes the evidence behind each conclusion easier to verify.

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 1mo 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.

Deep Research — GOD MODE

Trigger

/deep-research <query> or when user says "research this deeply", "go deep on", "full research report on", "investigate this thoroughly".

Core Philosophy

Raw search results are noise. Verified synthesis is signal. Every claim needs a source. Every conflict needs a resolution. A great deep research report is a structured intelligence brief, not a search summary.

Architecture

Query
  └── Phase 1: Decompose → Sub-questions
        └── Phase 2: Parallel Search → Raw Sources
              └── Phase 3: Crawl & Extract → Claims
                    └── Phase 4: Cross-Reference → Verify / Conflict
                          └── Phase 5: Synthesize → Report
                                └── Phase 6: Quality Gates → Deliver

Phase 1 — Query Decomposition

Break the user's query into 3–7 atomic sub-questions. Each must be:

  • Independently searchable
  • Non-overlapping with others
  • Ordered from foundational to advanced

Example:

Query: "Is Company X profitable?"

Sub-questions:

  1. What is Company X's current revenue model?
  2. What are its reported ARR and revenue figures?
  3. What is its burn rate and cost structure?
  4. What do investors say about its path to profitability?
  5. How does it compare to competitors on unit economics?

Phase 2 — Multi-Source Search Strategy

For each sub-question, issue 2–4 targeted searches using varied query angles:

[primary term] [year]
[primary term] site:official OR filetype:pdf
[primary term] analysis OR breakdown OR report
[primary term] vs [competitor]

Source Priority Tiers:

Tier Type Trust Weight
1 Official docs, SEC filings, company blogs, government data, peer-reviewed papers 1.0
2 Major news outlets (Reuters, Bloomberg, FT), industry analysts (Gartner, CB Insights) 0.85
3 Tech blogs, newsletters, podcasts 0.65
4 Forums, Reddit, social media 0.40

Minimum sources per report: 8 unique domains Target for complex topics: 15–25 sources

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.
