deep-research
This skill provides a framework for conducting multi-source, iterative research and producing structured reports. It instructs use of networked tools like web_search, web_fetch, and browser to retrieve web content (purpose-aligned network behavior).
Deep Research Skill
A comprehensive research framework that combines web search, content analysis, source verification, and iterative investigation to conduct in-depth research on any topic.
Purpose
This skill provides a systematic approach to conducting thorough investigations without relying on any specific AI model. Instead, it orchestrates various OpenClaw tools to gather, analyze, verify, and synthesize information.

Usage
To conduct deep research using this skill, follow these patterns:
Basic Research Task
Research Topic: [Specify the topic you want to investigate]
Research Questions: [List specific questions to answer]
Research Process
- Planning: Define research scope and questions
- Gathering: Collect information from multiple sources
- Analysis: Cross-reference and validate findings
- Synthesis: Combine findings into coherent conclusions
- Reporting: Generate structured research report
Tool Integration
This skill leverages the following OpenClaw tools:
web_search- For initial topic explorationweb_fetch- For detailed content extractionbrowser- For complex web interactionsmemory_search- To reference previous researchwrite/edit- To create and refine research reports
Quality Standards
The research follows these quality standards:
- Source diversity verification
- Cross-validation of claims
- Credibility assessment
- Bias recognition
- Temporal relevance consideration
Output Format
Research results follow a structured format:
- Executive summary
- Detailed findings
- Source evaluation
- Confidence levels
- Remaining questions for further research
Integration with Models
While this skill operates independently of any specific AI model, it can work with any model (Qwen, Gemini, etc.) to assist with:
- Content analysis
- Pattern recognition
- Synthesis of findings
- Report generation
