# Deep Research ## Overview Systematic methodology for thorough web research. **Load this skill BEFORE starting any content generation task** to ensure information from multiple angles, depths, and sources. ## When to Use **Always load when:** - User asks "what is X", "explain X", "research X", "investigate X" - User wants to understand a concept, technology, or topic in depth - A single web search would be insufficient to answer properly - Before creating presentations, reports, articles, or any content requiring real-world information ## Core Principle **Never generate content based solely on general knowledge.** A single search query is NEVER enough. ## Research Methodology ### Phase 1: Broad Exploration Start with broad searches to understand the landscape: 1. **Initial Survey**: Search for the main topic to understand overall context 2. **Identify Dimensions**: From initial results, identify key subtopics, themes, angles needing deeper exploration 3. **Map the Territory**: Note different perspectives, stakeholders, viewpoints ### Phase 2: Deep Dive For each important dimension identified, conduct targeted research: 1. **Specific Queries**: Search with precise keywords for each

Systematic multi-angle web research methodology.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add HezaoHezao/poirot --skill deep-research --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From HezaoHezao/poirot, a repository with 193 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
