Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/CORE/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Research/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

Research Skill

Comprehensive research, analysis, and content extraction system.

MANDATORY: URL Verification

READ: UrlVerificationProtocol.md - Every URL must be verified before delivery.

Research agents hallucinate URLs. A single broken link is a catastrophic failure.

Voice Notification

When executing a workflow, do BOTH:

Send voice notification:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow from the Research skill"}' \
  > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Output text notification:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow from the **Research** skill...

Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

CRITICAL: For due diligence, company/person background checks, or vetting -> INVOKE OSINT SKILL INSTEAD

Research Modes (Primary Workflows)

Quick/minor research (1 Perplexity, 1 query) -> Workflows/QuickResearch.md
Standard research - DEFAULT (3 agents: Perplexity + Claude + Gemini) -> Workflows/StandardResearch.md
Extensive research (4 types x 3 threads = 12 agents) -> Workflows/ExtensiveResearch.md

Deep Content Analysis

Extract alpha / deep analysis / highest-alpha insights -> Workflows/ExtractAlpha.md

Content Retrieval

Difficulty accessing content (CAPTCHA, bot detection, blocking) -> Workflows/Retrieve.md
YouTube URL extraction (use fabric -y URL immediately) -> Workflows/YoutubeExtraction.md
Web scraping -> Workflows/WebScraping.md

Specific Research Types

Claude WebSearch only (free, no API keys) -> Workflows/ClaudeResearch.md
Perplexity API research (use Quick for single-agent) -> Workflows/QuickResearch.md
Interview preparation (Tyler Cowen style) -> Workflows/InterviewResearch.md
AI trends analysis -> Workflows/AnalyzeAiTrends.md

Fabric Pattern Processing

Use Fabric patterns (242+ specialized prompts) -> Workflows/Fabric.md

Content Enhancement

Enhance/improve content -> Workflows/Enhance.md
Extract knowledge from content -> Workflows/ExtractKnowledge.md

Quick Reference

READ: QuickReference.md for detailed examples and mode comparison.

Trigger	Mode	Speed
”quick research”	1 Perplexity agent	~10-15s
”do research”	3 agents (default)	~15-30s
”extensive research”	12 agents	~60-90s

Integration

Feeds Into

blogging - Research for blog posts
newsletter - Research for newsletters
xpost - Create posts from research

Uses

be-creative - deep thinking for extract alpha
OSINT - MANDATORY for company/people comprehensive research
BrightData MCP - CAPTCHA solving, advanced scraping
Apify MCP - RAG browser, specialized site scrapers

File Organization

Scratch (temporary work artifacts): ~/.claude/MEMORY/WORK/{current_work}/scratch/

Read ~/.claude/MEMORY/STATE/current-work.json to get the work_dir value
All iterative work artifacts go in the current work item’s scratch/ subdirectory
This ties research artifacts to the work item for learning and context

History (permanent): ~/.claude/History/research/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD_[topic]/
