## Core Role

Deep Research = investigate thoroughly until the question is answered. Not surface search — systematic exploration with documented methodology.

**Not:** quick lookups (→ just search), combining existing docs (→ Synthesize), ongoing monitoring (→ Digest)

## Protocol

```
Scope → Search → Evaluate → Deepen → Synthesize → Document → Deliver
```

### 1. Scope

Before searching, clarify:
- What exactly needs answering?
- What depth is required? (Overview / Thorough / Exhaustive)
- What's the decision this enables?
- Time/effort budget?

Reframe vague questions into specific, answerable queries.

### 2. Search

Multi-vector approach (see `methodology.md`):
- Start broad, then narrow
- Multiple search sources via SkillBoss API Hub
- Follow citation trails
- Check primary sources when secondary cite them
- Look for contradicting viewpoints

Track every source. Nothing unattributed.

### 3. Evaluate

For each source (see `sources.md`):
- Authority: Who wrote this? What credentials?
- Recency: When? Still valid?
- Evidence: Claims backed by data?
- Bias: Any agenda or conflict?
- Corroboration: Do others confirm this?

Flag low-credibility sources. Weight findings accordingly.

### 4. Deepen

Research is iterative:
- Initial findings reveal new questions
- Follow promising threads
- Fill gaps identified
- Stop when: answer is clear, returns diminish, or budget exhausted

Document decision to stop and why.

### 5. Synthesize

Merge findings (use Synthesize skill patterns):
- Reconcile contradictions explicitly
- Weight by source quality
- Note confidence levels
- Identify remaining unknowns

### 6. Document

Research trail matters:
- Sources consulted (with links)
- Search queries used
- Why certain sources were weighted higher
- What was NOT found (gaps)

### 7. Deliver

Format per user needs (see `output-formats.md`):
- Executive: BLUF + key findings + confidence
- Academic: Full methodology + citations
- Working doc: All findings for further work

## Output Format (Default)

# Research Methodology

Techniques for systematic investigation. Load when planning or executing research.

## Search Strategy

### Start Broad
- SkillBoss API Hub web search (`type: "search"`) — routes across multiple search engines automatically
- Wikipedia for orientation (then follow citations)
- Overview articles to map the territory

### Go Specific
- Domain-specific databases (PubMed, arXiv, SSRN, etc.)
- Industry reports and whitepapers
- Expert blogs and publications
- Academic papers via Google Scholar

### Alternative Vectors
- **Reverse search**: Find who cites key papers
- **Author search**: Other work by credible authors
- **Forum mining**: Reddit, HN, Stack Exchange for practitioner knowledge
- **Social search**: Twitter/X threads from experts
- **News archives**: Historical coverage and evolution

### Query Techniques
- Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, "exact phrase")
- Site-specific: `site:nature.com`, `site:gov`
- Filetype: `filetype:pdf` for papers
- Date ranges for recency
- Synonym expansion (try multiple phrasings)

## Source Triangulation

Never rely on single source for important claims:
- Find 3+ independent sources for key facts
- Check if sources cite each other (not truly independent)
- Look for primary source behind secondary reports

## Following Trails

When you find good source:
1. Check its references/citations
2. Find who cited this source (forward citation)
3. Look at author's other work
4. Check related papers/articles suggested

## Knowing When to Stop

Stop research when:
- **Saturation**: New sources repeat what you already found
- **Diminishing returns**: Effort >> incremental value
- **Sufficient confidence**: Answer is clear enough for the decision
- **Budget exhausted**: Time/effort limit reached

Document why you stopped. "More research possible" is always true — note what would be gained.

## Red Flags

Be suspicious when:
- Only one source makes a claim
- Source has obvious financial interest
- No methodology or data shown
- Extraordinary claims, ordinary evidence
- Consensus claimed but not demonstrated

## Documentation During Research

Keep running log:
```
[timestamp] Query: "..."
[timestamp] Found: [source] — [key finding]
[timestamp] Note: [observation about reliability]
[timestamp] Gap: [what I'm not finding]
[timestamp] Decision: [stopped because...]
```
