# Deep Research
Create high-fidelity research reports with strict format control, evidence mapping, source governance, and multi-pass synthesis.
## What makes this produce provider-grade output
Three things drive deep-research quality, in order of impact. This skill is built around them; do not skip them under time pressure.
1. **Compute spent through a loop** — dozens of queries and full-page reads, not 5-6 snippet searches. Under-spending is the #1 quality leak.
2. **Dynamic re-planning** — decide what to search NEXT from what you just READ. The initial plan is a hypothesis, not a contract. See [references/replanning_loop.md](references/replanning_loop.md). This is the difference between this harness and static RAG.
3. **Verification** — a pass that checks every claim maps to a source that actually supports it. See P6/P7.
Semantic search / embeddings are NOT a quality driver for open-web research — a search engine already ranks the open web. Reranking belongs only on a closed corpus, or as a last-mile token-budget trim on already-scraped pages. See [references/retrieval_tiers.md](references/retrieval_tiers.md).
## Architecture: Lead Agent + Subagents + Replan Gate
