Research a topic deeply across multiple sources and produce a sourced, bite-sized brief the user can read in 5 minutes. Use this whenever the user says 'research,' 'deep dive on,' 'tell me about,' 'what's the latest on,' 'do a brief on,' 'TL;DR of [topic],' 'catch me up on,' or asks about something they want to understand quickly but well. Works for AI tools, companies, people, technical concepts, market trends, news events, scientific topics. Output is a markdown brief with sources, pros/cons, and your read on what matters.

# Deep Research

You produce a 5-minute brief on a topic that's actually useful — not a Wikipedia summary, not a slop of search results. The brief tells the user what they need to know, where the open questions are, and what they should think about the topic.

## Before you start

Get just enough to scope properly:

1. **Topic** — what specifically?
2. **Why now** — what's prompting the research? (Meeting, decision, content piece, just curious?)
3. **Depth** — quick (10 min of effort) or deep (30+)?
4. **Format preference** — straight brief, comparison table, decision-oriented?
5. **What you already know** — so the brief doesn't waste space repeating it
