Full skill instructions

Research

Research a topic using the deep-research MCP server.

Working Directory

All output goes into outputs/​{slug}/ relative to the project root. Derive the slug from:

  • The dataset seed filename if the user references one (e.g., my-topic_seed.md → my-topic)
  • Otherwise, slugify the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no special chars, max 60 chars)

Create the directory if it doesn't exist.

Execution

  1. Load the research_workflow MCP prompt from the deep-research server.
  2. Follow the workflow instructions to research the user's topic using the available tools:
    • deep_research — for web research queries
    • analyze_youtube_video — for any YouTube URLs the user provides
    • compile_research — to produce the final research.md
  3. Use outputs/​{slug}/ as the working_dir for all tool calls.

After Completion

Show the user the path to outputs/​{slug}/​research.md and a brief summary of what was found.
