Produce a rigorous, verified, fully-cited research report on ANY topic by running a disciplined five-stage pipeline: CLARIFY the question, PLAN (an editable research plan), FAN-OUT parallel search subagents, VERIFY every key claim (cross-source + adversarial + cross-model), then SYNTHESIZE a cited report. Use this WHENEVER the user wants real research rather than a quick answer — "research X", "do a deep dive on Y", "write me a report / brief / literature review on Z", "compare A vs B and back it with sources", "what's the state of the art in …", "investigate …", "find evidence for/against …", "give me a market/landscape/competitor analysis", or any question where being wrong is costly and the answer needs citations. Trigger even when the user does not say the word "research" but clearly needs multi-source, fact-checked, cited output. This is the general-topic web-research orchestrator — not the codebase-to-wiki `deep-research` skill. For a fast single-fact lookup, answer directly instead.

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
High risk: the required FAN-OUT SEARCH stage fetches and READs arbitrary public web pages at runtime (WebFetch) and uses their quoted passages as LLM input for the subsequent VERIFY and SYNTHESIZE stages, so outsider-authored free-text from the web can be incorporated into the model context.
arbitrary public web pages (WebFetch)
content-type · 1 site
The FAN-OUT SEARCH stage explicitly instructs subagents to fetch and read arbitrary public web pages via WebFetch, then use the quoted passages as LLM input for the VERIFY and SYNTHESIZE stages.
