# Deep Research Skill
## Trigger
Activate this skill when the user wants to:
- "Research a topic", "literature review", "find papers about", "survey papers on"
- "Deep dive into [topic]", "what's the state of the art in [topic]"
- Uses `/research <topic>` slash command
## Overview
This skill conducts systematic academic literature reviews in 6 phases, producing structured notes, a curated paper database, and a synthesized final report. Output is organized **by phase** for clarity.
**Installation**: `~/.claude/skills/deep-research/` — scripts, references, and this skill definition.
**Output**: `./~/.claude/skills/deep-research/output/{slug}/` relative to the current working directory.
## CRITICAL: Strict Sequential Phase Execution
**You MUST execute all 6 phases in strict order: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6. NEVER skip any phase.**
This is the single most important rule of this skill. Violations include:
- ❌ Jumping from Phase 2 to Phase 5/6 (skipping Deep Dive and Code)
- ❌ Writing synthesis or report before completing Phase 3 deep reading
- ❌ Producing a final report based only on abstracts/titles from search results
- ❌ Combining or merging phases (e.g., doing "Phase 3-5 together")
### Phase Gate Protocol
Before starting Phase N+1, you MUST verify that Phase N's **required output files** exist on disk. If they don't exist, you have NOT completed that phase.
| Phase | Gate: Required Output Files |
