- Output to {topic}/ directory structure
- fields.yaml now independent file for field definitions
- outline.yaml contains items + execution config
- Deep research agents read fields.yaml independently (hard constraint)
- Update README with new directory structure

Deep Research Skill for Claude Code
Inspired by RhinoInsight: Improving Deep Research through Control Mechanisms for Model Behavior and Context
A structured research workflow skill for Claude Code, supporting two-phase research: outline generation (extensible) and deep investigation. Human-in-the-loop design ensures precise control at every stage.
Use Cases
- Academic Research: Paper surveys, benchmark reviews, literature analysis
- Technical Research: Technology comparison, framework evaluation, tool selection
- Market Research: Competitor analysis, industry trends, product comparison
- Due Diligence: Company research, investment analysis, risk assessment
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/research |
Generate research outline with items and fields |
/research/add-items |
Add more items to existing outline |
/research/add-fields |
Add more fields to existing outline |
/research/deep |
Deep research each item with parallel agents |
Installation
Copy the skills/ folder to your Claude Code directory:
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
Workflow
Phase 1: Generate Outline
/research <topic>
- Uses model knowledge + web search
- Asks for existing field definitions
- Creates
{topic}/directory with separated files
Phase 2: Deep Research
/research/deep
- Reads outline and fields automatically from current directory
- Launches parallel agents (5 per batch)
- Agents read fields.yaml independently (not passed in prompt)
- Outputs structured JSON per item
- Supports resume from checkpoint
Optional: Expand Outline
/research/add-items # Add more research targets
/research/add-fields # Add more field definitions
Output Format
Directory Structure
{topic}/
├── outline.yaml # items + execution config
├── fields.yaml # field definitions
└── results/ # deep research outputs
outline.yaml
topic: "your topic"
items:
- name: "Item1"
source: "source info"
execution:
batch_size: 5
fields.yaml
basic_info:
- name: "field_name"
description: "field description"
detail_level: "detailed|brief"
Research Result (JSON)
Each item outputs a structured JSON file with all defined fields.
