deep-research
When you want multi-source, multi-step research on a topic — competitor research before a sales call, market research for a new business idea, positioning angles, due diligence on a partnership or podcast guest, tech decision research (which DB, which auth), or any "I need to actually understand X." Combines web search, URL fetch, agent-browser, last30days (Reddit/X/YouTube/HN/web recency), memory, and Notion. Outputs a structured brief with citations, contradictions, gaps, and recommended next steps. Archives every research run to ~/.config/makerskills/deep-research/archive/ so past work is searchable. Triggers on "/deep-research," "research X," "investigate X," "do a deep dive on X," "look into X," "what's actually happening with X," "due diligence on X," "validate this market." Differs from a one-shot web search: this is multi-pass with verification. Not for standing monitoring (radar) or pulling one post or video (social-fetch, watch-video).

# /deep-research — Multi-source research with archive
Plans, executes, and synthesizes research from multiple sources. Archives the output so the corpus compounds.
## Step 1 — Frame the question
Restate the research question in one tight sentence. If ambiguous, ask the user:
- What's the decision this research will inform?
- What's the minimum useful answer? (Saves over-researching.)
- Any sources to prioritize or avoid?
Output: `**Research question:** <one sentence>`
## Step 2 — Plan the sources
