Deep Research

What it does

Produce a comprehensive, cited research report with multi-source evidence tracking, counter-review, and confidence markers.

Procedure

When this skill is activated, Chalie follows these steps:

1. Use recall to surface any prior research, related findings, or user preferences — then ask for the specific question, scope (company vs. industry vs. policy/tech), and preferred output length.
2. Break the topic into 3–6 sub-questions (what, why, how, who, trends, counter-claims) and delegate each to web_search, keeping raw search context out of the main thread.
3. Each web_search call gathers sources, extracts content from the most authoritative URLs, and returns distilled notes — never raw results.
4. Use write_file to build a citation registry from the distilled notes: record source URL, type (news/official/academic/industry), recency date, and authority level for every claim.
5. Use write_file to construct an evidence-mapped outline, flagging claims lacking two independent sources and any counter-claims or competing perspectives.
6. Use write_file to draft the report from the outline and citation registry, embedding confidence markers (confirmed / likely / contested / unverified) per major claim.
7. Use write_file to run a counter-review pass: for each key finding, state the strongest plausible objection or alternative interpretation and address it inline.
8. Present the final report with executive summary, section findings with inline citations, counter-claims addressed, and a confidence summary, closing with the key findings so they are remembered.
