COMPREHENSIVE top-tier research for topics where breadth, source quality, and auditable methodology matter. Use when the user needs 40+ sources, publication-grade synthesis, due diligence, policy or market analysis, or any high-stakes research where missing key dimensions would materially weaken the answer. This skill is especially valuable when the prompt has multiple dimensions that must all be covered faithfully. NOT for quick or medium-depth briefs; prefer gpt-research or native…
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 Skill A comprehensive workflow for conducting **broad, source-rich, auditable research** using iterative waves of subagents. **Time**: ~6–10 minutes **Sources**: 40–100+ **Best for**: academic rigor, due diligence, comparative analysis, high-stakes synthesis The strength of this skill is **breadth with control**: it covers many dimensions without letting any single subagent become the whole research system. --- ## Core Operating Model The main agent is the **research conductor**. Subagents are used for: - scouting source landscapes - analysing curated source batches - resolving contradictions - checking synthesis quality The main agent is responsible for: - defining dimensions - maintaining the research manifest - maintaining the blocked-source registry - curating which sources get promoted to deeper analysis - deciding whether the research is sufficient - consulting the user on fallback options when high-value blocked sources remain ### Core Principles 1. **Breadth is preserved at the workflow level, not overloaded into each subagent.** 2. **Subagents must return useful findings in their response text first.** File writes are secondary. …

How to install
mdr add valtterimelkko/agent-workflow-skills/deep-research@sha256:edb6ac2a962b4395The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.6de34bf, 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.
