deep-research · c0x12c — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Runs in-depth web research and turns verified findings into structured markdown reports. Useful when preparing investor decks or technical overviews.
npx skills add c0x12c/ai-toolkit --skill deep-research -a claude-codeWhat deep-research does
The skill directs the agent to perform multi-step web investigations instead of relying on memory. It begins by clarifying your audience and the required depth. Then it searches for industry publications and recent news from the past 12 months.
Collected data undergoes verification. The agent checks figures across independent sources and discards promotional claims from press releases. Information older than 18 months gets flagged immediately. The final report is saved to the 02-research/ directory, cleanly separated into factual findings and subjective analysis.
Without WebSearch, WebFetch, and Read, this workflow will fail. Active browsing tools are mandatory.
What it helps with
- gather verified background data for a report or article
- cross-check conflicting figures across multiple publications
- explore an unfamiliar technical domain before planning a project
- compile sourced metrics for an investor presentation
Example prompts for the agent
- Investigate the current local LLM landscape and save the report to
02-research/ - Compile research on the Model Context Protocol for our investor update
- Run a quick scan of API changes introduced over the past year
