research-prompt

Write a single-paragraph Deep Research prompt to hand to a human researcher (or a deep-research AI). Use when the user wants a research brief, a "deep research prompt", a one-paragraph task for a researcher, or asks "what should our researcher look for". Produces ONE tight paragraph with full context, numbered sub-questions, and per-finding output format.

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is actionable and well-structured with a clear process and copy-ready template. The main weakness is redundancy between the Rules and Template sections, which inflates tokens without adding new guidance.

Suggestions

Collapse the Template to reference the Rules (or vice versa) so the deliverable format is defined once rather than restated verbatim.

Consider making the numbered Find list the single canonical template and trimming the prose rules that merely restate it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient and assumes Claude's competence, but the Template paragraph restates nearly every Rule, creating notable duplication that could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides a concrete fill-in template with explicit placeholders ([TOPIC + key identifying facts], [THE QUESTION], [DECISION / END USE]) plus a specific execution hook (POST /v1/research/deep via the deep-research skill).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The Process section lays out a clear 5-step sequence from context-gathering through compression; as a non-destructive content-generation skill, no validation checkpoint is required.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

A short single-purpose skill with no bundle files, cleanly organized into Rules, Process, Template, and Executing sections — well-organized sections suffice for a 3 under the simple-skills note.

Description

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.

The description is strong: concrete actions, natural trigger phrasings, an explicit 'Use when' clause, and a distinct niche. It avoids verbosity and over-claims while staying in third-person voice.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions: 'Write a single-paragraph Deep Research prompt' and 'Produces ONE tight paragraph with full context, numbered sub-questions, and per-finding output format', matching the highest anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly states what it does and includes an explicit 'Use when the user wants...' trigger clause, answering both what and when.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural phrasings a user would say — 'research brief', 'deep research prompt', 'one-paragraph task for a researcher', and 'what should our researcher look for'.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (authoring deep-research prompts) with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
