What is the Deep Research skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized workflow that allows Claude to break down complex research goals into sub-tasks, execute them in parallel using sub-processes, and aggregate the findings into a polished report.

Which tools does this skill use for gathering data?

It prioritizes installed Claude skills first, then utilizes MCP tools like Firecrawl and Exa for advanced web scraping and searching, falling back to WebFetch when necessary.

Does this skill work in non-interactive mode?

Yes, while the main process seeks initial user confirmation, the research sub-tasks run in non-interactive mode (`claude -p`) to ensure speed and efficiency.

How are the final research results delivered?

The skill produces a standalone, structured Markdown report saved within a dedicated `.research/` directory in your project, ensuring your chat remains clean.

Can I track the progress of the agents?

Yes, the skill maintains detailed logs in the `.research/` folder, allowing you to monitor dispatchers and individual sub-process logs in real-time.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Orchestrates multi-agent parallel workflows to perform comprehensive web research, competitive analysis, and data synthesis into structured reports.

This skill transforms Claude Code into a high-performance research engine by decomposing complex queries into parallelizable sub-tasks. It manages the entire lifecycle of a research project—from goal clarification and automated tool orchestration (utilizing Firecrawl, Exa, and WebFetch) to programmatic data aggregation and multi-stage report polishing. By leveraging non-interactive sub-processes, it handles large-scale information gathering and synthesis, delivering a final, insight-driven Markdown document instead of a simple chat summary, ensuring all evidence is traceable and structured.
