What This Skill Does

The Deep Research skill is a comprehensive investigative engine for the OpenClaw platform, designed to navigate, aggregate, and synthesize complex information from a vast array of sources. Unlike a simple web search, this skill operates as an autonomous research assistant. It conducts multi-source analysis ranging from academic papers and official technical documentation to social media trends and market reports. The skill follows a structured research flow: planning, data collection, cross-referencing for conflict detection, and generating a professional, Markdown-formatted final report. It is optimized for tasks where breadth of knowledge and depth of insight are paramount, providing structured output that includes executive summaries, comparative tables, and cited references.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/rey-deep-research

Use Cases

• Technical Due Diligence: Comparing framework architectures or language benchmarks using official documentation and developer community consensus.
• Market Intelligence: Gathering data on market growth rates, competitive landscape analysis, and identifying emerging player trends.
• Academic & Industry Trend Analysis: Investigating the latest developments in AI, biotechnology, or economic shifts by parsing multiple news outlets and research papers.
• Strategic Decision Making: When you need a summary of conflicting expert views to form an informed personal or business decision.

Example Prompts

1. "Deep research the current state of decentralized storage solutions; compare IPFS, Arweave, and Filecoin in terms of adoption and performance."
2. "Investigate the latest advancements in small language models (SLMs) released in the last quarter and create a summary report with a comparison table."
3. "Conduct a thorough analysis of the impact of remote work policies on urban real estate demand, synthesizing data from at least 20 recent economic reports."

Tips & Limitations

• Leveling: Utilize the intensity levels to balance time and thoroughness; choose Level 1 for quick summaries and Level 3 for long-form comprehensive deep dives.
• Source Reliability: The tool provides a built-in confidence rating for sources. Always prioritize findings labeled with high confidence (e.g., official releases, peer-reviewed journals).
• Limitations: Be aware that the skill has inherent constraints regarding real-time information access, language bias (leaning towards English-language sources), and an inability to bypass paywalls on premium content. Always treat reports as supporting documentation for your own professional judgment.
