deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deep-research, MIT.

An automated research service that uses Google Gemini to plan searches, read sources, and produce a detailed report with citations. It can research markets, competitors, academic literature, technical topics, and business targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for market analysis, competitor comparisons, literature reviews, technical research, and due diligence. It requires a Gemini API key and can take several minutes per task.
Why use it?
It handles multi-step information gathering and summarising, reducing the need to search, read, and organise every source manually.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research the history of Kubernetes".

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to deep-research — 19 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Gemini Deep Research Skill

Run autonomous research tasks that plan, search, read, and synthesize information into comprehensive reports.

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • httpx: pip install -r requirements.txt
  • GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

Setup

  1. Get a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio
  2. Set the environment variable:
    export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    
    Or create a .env file in the skill directory.

Usage

Start a research task

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research the history of Kubernetes"

With structured output format

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Compare Python web frameworks" \
  --format "1. Executive Summary\n2. Comparison Table\n3. Recommendations"

Stream progress in real-time

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Analyze EV battery market" --stream

Start without waiting

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research topic" --no-wait

Check status of running research

python3 scripts/research.py --status <interaction_id>

Wait for completion

python3 scripts/research.py --wait <interaction_id>

Continue from previous research

python3 scripts/research.py --query "Elaborate on point 2" --continue <interaction_id>

List recent research

python3 scripts/research.py --list

Output Formats

  • Default: Human-readable markdown report
  • JSON (--json): Structured data for programmatic use
  • Raw (--raw): Unprocessed API response

Cost & Time

Metric Value
Time 2-10 minutes per task
Cost $2-5 per task (varies by complexity)
Token usage ~250k-900k input, ~60k-80k output

Best Use Cases

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.
