deep-research
Multi-source deep research using firecrawl and exa MCPs. Searches the web, synthesizes findings, and delivers cited reports with source attribution. Use when the user wants thorough research on any topic with evidence and citations.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Deep Research Produce thorough, cited research reports from multiple web sources using firecrawl and exa MCP tools. ## When to Activate - User asks to research any topic in depth - Competitive analysis, technology evaluation, or market sizing - Due diligence on companies, investors, or technologies - Any question requiring synthesis from multiple sources - User says "research", "deep dive", "investigate", or "what's the current state of" ## MCP Requirements At least one of: - **firecrawl** — `firecrawl_search`, `firecrawl_scrape`, `firecrawl_crawl` - **exa** — `web_search_exa`, `web_search_advanced_exa`, `crawling_exa` Both together give the best coverage. Configure in `~/.claude.json` or `~/.codex/config.toml`. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Understand the Goal Ask 1-2 quick clarifying questions: - "What's your goal — learning, making a decision, or writing something?" - "Any specific angle or depth you want?" If the user says "just research it" — skip ahead with reasonable defaults. ### Step 2: Plan the Research Break the topic into 3-5 research sub-questions. Example: - Topic: "Impact of AI on healthcare" - What are the main AI applications in healthcare today? - What clinical outcom

What does the deep-research skill do?
Multi-source deep research using firecrawl and exa MCPs. Searches the web, synthesizes findings, and delivers cited reports with source attribution. Use when the user wants thorough research on any topic with evidence and citations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill deep-research-throokie-claude-code-skills --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
