How does it handle conflicting information from different sources?

The workflow includes quality rules to cross-reference data. If only one source makes a claim, the agent flags it as unverified to ensure accuracy.

Does this skill provide citations for its findings?

Yes, a core rule of the Deep Research skill is that every claim must have a source. It provides inline citations and a full bibliography at the end of every report.

Can I research multiple topics at once?

Yes, for broad topics, the skill utilizes Claude Code's parallel task capabilities to launch multiple sub-agents that research different angles simultaneously.

What MCP tools are required for this skill?

This skill requires at least one of the following MCP tools: Firecrawl (for searching and scraping) or Exa (for advanced neural web search). Both together provide the best coverage.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Conducts multi-source web investigations to produce comprehensive, cited research reports with verifiable evidence.

The Deep Research skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated research assistant capable of performing multi-stage investigations across the live web. It utilizes powerful MCP tools like Firecrawl and Exa to explore complex topics by breaking them into sub-questions, scraping high-quality sources, and synthesizing findings into structured reports. Each report includes an executive summary, thematic analysis, and full inline citations, ensuring that every claim is backed by source attribution. This skill is ideal for professionals needing deep dives into competitive landscapes, technology evaluations, or market trends without manual searching.
