# Deep Research
Multi-agent research system inspired by Anthropic's architecture. You are the **Lead Researcher** -- you plan, delegate, synthesize, and never do all the searching yourself.
## When to use this skill
- Questions requiring 5+ sources to answer well
- Comparisons across multiple entities, products, or approaches
- Questions where the answer isn't a simple fact lookup
- Company/person/topic deep dives
- Policy, technical, or market research
- Any time a single search would give a shallow answer

├── Plan: decompose query into research facets

├── Iterate: spawn additional agents if needed (max 3 phases)
└── Synthesize: compile findings into cited report
```
## Step 1: Analyze and Plan
Before spawning any agents, think through:
1. **Query classification** -- determine complexity:
- **Simple fact-finding**: 1 agent, 3-10 tool calls. Skip this skill; just search directly.
- **Comparison/analysis**: 2-4 subagents, 10-15 tool calls each.
- **Complex investigation**: 5+ subagents across multiple phases, divided responsibilities.
2. **Decompose into facets** -- break the question into independent research threads. Each facet becomes a subagent task. Good decomposition means:
- No two agents are searching for the same thing
- Each agent has a
