deep-research SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

deep-research from zaxbyhub/opencode-swarm is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add zaxbyhub/opencode-swarm/deep-research@git:20261012.097422c

Full execution protocol for MODE: DEEP_RESEARCH — orchestrator-worker deep research over external sources: decompose, iterative web_search/web_fetch retrieval, parallel sme synthesis, dual-reviewer claim verification, critic challenge of high-stakes claims, and a cited report. Loaded on demand by the architect when the deep-research command emits a [MODE: DEEP_RESEARCH ...] signal.

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 Protocol

Read-only, multi-source, fact-checked research that produces a cited report. The
architect is the orchestrator: it owns retrieval (`web_search` + `web_fetch`),
decomposes the question, runs an iterative gather→assess→re-plan loop, dispatches
parallel `sme` workers for synthesis, verifies claims against sources with 2
reviewers, challenges high-stakes claims with the critic, and writes the final
answer. This mode does NOT mutate source code, does NOT delegate to coder, and
does NOT call declare_scope.

### MODE: DEEP_RESEARCH

## Step 0 — Parse Header

Parse the `[MODE: DEEP_RESEARCH ...]` header to extract:
- `depth`: standard | exhaustive (default: standard)
- `max_researchers`: integer 1..6 — parallel synthesis workers per round (default: 3, or 5 for exhaustive)
- `rounds`: integer 1..4 — maximum iterative research rounds (default: 2, or 3 for exhaustive)
- `output`: report | brief (default: report)
- the trailing text is the `question`

If the header is malformed or the question is empty, report the error and stop.

## Step 1 — Pre-flight (always run first)

Read `council.general` from the resolved opencode-swarm config (global

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zaxbyhub/opencode-swarm/deep-research@sha256:5d4e51b8bb22f94e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.097422c, 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.
