Performs comprehensive, multi-layered research on any topic with structured analysis and synthesis of information from multiple sources. Use when the user needs thorough investigation, market research, technical deep-dives, due diligence, or comprehensive analysis on any subject.

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 Researcher

A comprehensive research workflow skill that guides Claude through systematic, multi-layered research on any topic.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user:
- Asks for "deep research" or "comprehensive research" on a topic
- Needs thorough investigation or due diligence
- Requests market research or competitive analysis
- Wants technical deep-dives or architecture reviews
- Needs literature reviews or trend analysis
- Asks for detailed reports with multiple perspectives

4. **Clarify expected deliverables** - What format and structure for output?
5. **List key areas of focus** - What specific subtopics to explore?

Document these parameters before proceeding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stbarbe/agent-skills-cli/deep-researcher@sha256:96e6549559bdc0ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
