What This Skill Does

Deep Research Pro is an autonomous research engine designed for the OpenClaw AI agent. It transforms vague research requests into structured, high-quality, and cited documentation. Unlike standard web searches that return fleeting snippets, this skill systematically breaks down a topic into targeted sub-questions, executes multiple iterative searches using the DuckDuckGo engine, performs deep-content retrieval via cURL/parsing, and synthesizes findings into a professional-grade Markdown report. It operates locally within the agent's environment, ensuring that you don't need expensive paid API subscriptions to conduct high-level analysis.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/parags/deep-research-pro

Use Cases

• Market Analysis: Quickly gather growth trajectories, competitor landscapes, and regulatory hurdles for a new industry or technology.
• Academic Prep: Build a foundational literature review by sourcing reputable academic and official publications on complex topics.
• Decision Support: When weighing a significant decision (like choosing a tech stack or evaluating a vendor), use this skill to extract unbiased comparative data.
• Content Creation: Generate research-backed drafts for blog posts, white papers, or reports without needing to manually aggregate bookmarks.

Example Prompts

1. "I need a deep research report on the current state of solid-state battery technology. Focus on manufacturing viability and market adoption timelines."
2. "Research the potential impacts of the latest EU AI Act on small businesses in the US. Please compare different perspectives."
3. "Perform a deep dive into the history and architectural significance of brutalist structures in London; cite academic sources where possible."

Tips & Limitations

• Refine the Scope: While the agent handles broad topics, providing specific angles in Step 1 significantly improves output quality.
• Storage Management: The agent saves reports in ~/clawd/research/. Regularly clear this directory to manage disk space if you perform high-volume research.
• Data Depth: The skill relies on web accessibility. If a target site is blocked by a paywall or anti-scraping measures, the agent will skip it and focus on alternative, open-access sources.
• Latency: Because this skill performs multiple searches and deep-content reading, it is designed for asynchronous completion; expect a response time proportional to the depth requested.
