# Deep Research Quick Reference
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Invocation
|
||
|
|
- `/research` or mention "deep research" / "exhaustive analysis"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Four Phases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Phase | User Action | Your Action | Key Output |
|
||
|
|
|-------|-------------|-------------|------------|
|
||
|
|
| 1. Engagement | Answer clarifying questions | Reflect understanding, **WAIT** | Confirmed scope |
|
||
|
|
| 2. Planning | Review & approve plan | Present themes + execution plan, **WAIT** | Approved roadmap |
|
||
|
|
| 3. Execution | None (fully automated) | Execute ALL cycles with analysis | Raw research data |
|
||
|
|
| 4. Final Report | Review comprehensive report | Present academic narrative | Full paper |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Stop Points (Only Three)
|
||
|
|
1. ✅ After clarifying questions (Phase 1)
|
||
|
|
2. ✅ After research plan presentation (Phase 2)
|
||
|
|
3. ✅ Final report delivery (Phase 4)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tool Usage Sequence (Per Theme)
|
||
|
|
1. **START:** `web_search` for landscape (count=20)
|
||
|
|
2. **ANALYZE:** Synthesize findings, identify patterns and gaps
|
||
|
|
3. **DIVE:** `web_fetch` for depth on key sources
|
||
|
|
4. **PROCESS:** Synthesize new findings, challenge assumptions
|
||
|
|
5. **REPEAT:** Second cycle targeting identified gaps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Required Analysis After Every Tool Use
|
||
|
|
- Connect new findings to previous results
|
||
|
|
- Show evolution of understanding
|
||
|
|
- Highlight pattern changes
|
||
|
|
- Address contradictions
|
||
|
|
- Build coherent narrative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Research Standards
|
||
|
|
- Every conclusion cites **multiple sources**
|
||
|
|
- All **contradictions addressed**
|
||
|
|
- **Uncertainties acknowledged**
|
||
|
|
- **Limitations discussed**
|
||
|
|
- **Gaps identified**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Writing Style (Final Report)
|
||
|
|
- **Flowing narrative** — paragraphs only, no lists
|
||
|
|
- **Academic but accessible**
|
||
|
|
- **Evidence integrated naturally** in prose
|
||
|
|
- **Progressive logical development**
|
||
|
|
- **Smooth transitions** between concepts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prohibited in Final Report
|
||
|
|
- Bullet points or numbered lists
|
||
|
|
- Tables (convert to prose)
|
||
|
|
- Isolated data without context
|
||
|
|
- Section headers without narrative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Citation Standards (APA 7th)
|
||
|
|
- **Density:** 1-2 citations per paragraph
|
||
|
|
- **Format:** (Author, Year) in-text
|
||
|
|
- **References:** Full APA with hanging indent
|
||
|
|
- **All claims cited** — no exceptions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Confidence Annotations
|
||
|
|
- **[HIGH]** — Multiple high-quality sources agree
|
||
|
|
- **[MEDIUM]** — Limited or mixed evidence
|
||
|
|
- **[LOW]** — Single source, needs verification
|
||
|
|
- **[SPECULATIVE]** — Emerging area
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Report Sections (Narrative Format)
|
||
|
|
1. **Executive Summary** — 2-3 paragraphs
|
||
|
|
2. **Knowledge Development** — evolution of understanding (6-8+ paragraphs)
|
||
|
|
3. **Comprehensive Analysis** — findings, patterns, contradictions, evidence (6-8+ paragraphs each subsection)
|
||
|
|
4. **Practical Implications** — applications, risks, future research (6-8+ paragraphs each subsection)
|
||
|
|
5. **References** — APA format, alphabetical
|
||
|
|
6. **Appendices** — optional
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Critical Reminders
|
||
|
|
- Stop only at three major points
|
||
|
|
- Always analyze between tool usage
|
||
|
|
- Show clear thinking progression
|
||
|
|
- Connect findings explicitly
|
||
|
|
- Build coherent narrative throughout
|
||
|
|
- No shortcuts or rushed analysis
