When you want multi-source, multi-step research on a topic — competitor research before a sales call, market research for a new business idea, positioning angles, due diligence on a partnership or podcast guest, tech decision research (which DB, which auth), or any "I need to actually understand X." Combines web search, URL fetch, agent-browser, last30days (Reddit/X/YouTube/HN/web recency), memory, and Notion. Outputs a structured brief with citations, contradictions, gaps, and recommended…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /deep-research — Multi-source research with archive Plans, executes, and synthesizes research from multiple sources. Archives the output so the corpus compounds. ## Step 1 — Frame the question Restate the research question in one tight sentence. If ambiguous, ask the user: - What's the decision this research will inform? - What's the minimum useful answer? (Saves over-researching.) - Any sources to prioritize or avoid? Output: `**Research question:** <one sentence>` ## Step 2 — Plan the sources Pick from this menu based on the question type. Note which sources you'll hit and why. | Source | When to use | How (tool names vary by agent) | |---|---|---| | Web search (Google) | Authoritative articles, docs, official statements | Your agent's web search (e.g. `WebSearch` in Claude Code) | | `/last30days` | What people are *actually saying* right now — Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, web recency | The `last30days` skill, if installed. Otherwise skip it and note the gap | | Specific URLs | When the user hands over starting URLs | Your agent's URL fetch (e.g. `WebFetch`), or `curl` + `defuddle` | …

How to install
mdr add coreyhaines31/makerskills/deep-research@sha256:1aecd4bdcf2bc5c0The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
