{deep-research}

Agent operationsResearch and search

Deep research on any topic — broad parallel web searches, multi-source validation, confidence tracking, and a cited Markdown report. Use whenever the deliverable is a thorough sourced report rather than a quick answer: 'research <topic>', 'deep dive on X', 'analyze the landscape', 'competitive analysis', 'compare these options', 'who are the players in Z', 'literature review', 'background on Y', 'what papers exist on X', 'product teardown', 'regulatory overview', 'funding landscape', 'what trends are emerging in X', 'patent landscape', 'community health', or any request requiring scanning many sources and producing a cited written analysis. Covers 11 research types: market (TAM/SAM, segments, pricing, trends), domain (industry structure, ecosystem, regulatory overview), technical (architecture, tooling, benchmarks, technology evaluation), competitive (competitor teardown, positioning, win/loss), product (feature analysis, reviews, teardowns, roadmap signals), academic (literature survey, citation networks, key authors), person/org (due diligence on a company or public figure), financial (funding landscape, valuation multiples, revenue signals), legal (IP, patent landscape, litigation, compliance), trend (emerging signals, foresight, scenario mapping), community (ecosystem health, key voices, governance, fragmentation). Trigger even when phrased casually: 'look into X', 'what's the deal with Y', 'dig into Z', 'I need to understand the space', 'catch me up on X'. Do NOT use for single-fact lookups or one-off web questions.

Gen Agent Trust HubpassSAFEThe deep-research skill enables complex automated research by utilizing parallel sub-agents to search and synthesize information from the web. The primary security consideration is indirect prompt injection, as the skill is designed to ingest and process data from untrusted external websites using agents with access to system tools and the ability to spawn additional agents. While it enforces citation discipline and multi-source validation, it lacks explicit sanitization or delimiters for external content.2026-09-15

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
