deep-research
Generate format-controlled research reports with evidence tracking, citations, and iterative review. This skill should be used when users request a research report, literature review, market or industry analysis, competitive landscape, policy or technical brief, or require a strict report template and section formatting that a single deepresearch pass cannot reliably enforce.

Validation for skill structure
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (format-controlled reports, evidence tracking, citations, iterative review) and provides comprehensive trigger terms covering multiple research document types. The explicit 'Use when' clause with natural language triggers makes it easy for Claude to select this skill appropriately, and the distinction from simpler research approaches reduces conflict risk.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'format-controlled research reports', 'evidence tracking', 'citations', and 'iterative review'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Generate format-controlled research reports with evidence tracking, citations, and iterative review') AND when ('should be used when users request a research report, literature review, market or industry analysis...'). Explicit trigger guidance is provided. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'research report', 'literature review', 'market analysis', 'industry analysis', 'competitive landscape', 'policy brief', 'technical brief', 'report template', 'section formatting'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focusing on structured research reports with specific formatting requirements. The mention of 'strict report template' and 'section formatting that a single deepresearch pass cannot reliably enforce' distinguishes it from general research or writing skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an exemplary skill file that demonstrates best practices across all dimensions. It provides a comprehensive yet concise workflow for research report generation with clear validation steps, explicit file organization patterns, and well-organized references to supporting materials. The anti-patterns section adds valuable guardrails without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's competence throughout. No unnecessary explanations of basic concepts; every section provides actionable guidance without padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable guidance with specific file structures, implementation patterns for Task tool usage, evidence table column requirements, and copy-paste ready checklists. The workflow steps are specific and actionable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent multi-step workflow with 9 clearly sequenced steps, explicit validation checkpoints (Step 8 for evidence verification), and a trackable progress checklist. Includes feedback loops for human review and iteration. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured overview with clear one-level-deep references to 5 supporting files. The reference table clearly signals when to load each file. Content is appropriately split between the main skill and reference materials. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
