deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tonyazhuuki/deep-research-skill. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,394 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-step research workflow that coordinates several specialized agents to investigate a topic, check evidence, and produce a synthesis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for comprehensive research, competing hypotheses, evidence checking, bilingual English-and-Russian summaries, visual analysis, and action plans.
Why use it?
It helps reduce gaps and unsupported conclusions by combining broad exploration, focused follow-up, criticism, fact-checking, and review.

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 10d 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 Skill

A structured multi-agent research pipeline that turns any topic into a comprehensive, fact-checked, bilingual (EN+RU) synthesis with actionable recommendations. Built on Eric Jang's iterative methodology from "As Rocks May Think".

How It Works

The skill orchestrates 10-19 specialized AI agents across 3 mandatory cycles:

Cycle 1: Broad Search    → 4-5 parallel SCOUTs explore the landscape
         Quality Gates   → CRITIC + METHODOLOGIST cross-check findings
         Reflection 1    → Identify gaps, generate competing hypotheses

Cycle 2: Deep Dives      → 2-3 targeted agents test hypotheses + stress-test questions
         Iterative Deep. → Auto-resolve CONTESTED claims (WEAK → follow-up DD)
         Reflection 2    → Convergence analysis, hypothesis verdicts

Cycle 3: Execute          → Python scripts (analysis, models, visualizations)
         Synthesize      → SYNTHESIZER creates integrated document
         Verify          → FACT-CHECKER + CITATION_VERIFIER + DOMAIN_REVIEWER
         Apply           → ACTION MAPPER updates user's protocols/goals

Research Modes

Mode Output When to use
personalized (default) synthesis.md Specific question for your context
consensus consensus_reference.md Building knowledge base (population-level truth)
consensus+interactions consensus + interaction_map.md Cross-effects matter
full All three documents Deep investigation

Agent Roles

Role Count Purpose
SCOUT 4-5 Broad literature search, each with unique reasoning style
CRITIC 1 Cross-stream contradictions, bias audit, weak evidence
METHODOLOGIST 1 Methodological quality — domain-specific evidence hierarchy (GRADE for health, forecast audit for macro, reproducibility for science)
DEEP DIVER 2-3+ Hypothesis testing + domain stress-test questions. Auto-spawns on CONTESTED claims (iterative deepening)
SYNTHESIZER 1 Integration across all sources into coherent document
INTERACTION MAPPER 1 Cross-domain interactions that change recommendations
DOMAIN_REVIEWER 1 Domain-specific review: MEDICAL (health), MACRO (markets), MARKET (company), METHODOLOGY (science)
FACT-CHECKER 1 Top-15 numerical claims verification
CITATION_VERIFIER script Python API check against Semantic Scholar/PubMed/CrossRef
TEMPORAL DIFF 0-1 Compares new consensus with previous version (UPDATE mode only)
ACTION MAPPER 1 Converts findings into TODO blocks in user's files

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.

deep-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonyazhuuki/deep-research-skill (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,394 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
