Deep Research
Produce thorough, cited research reports from multiple web sources using firecrawl and exa MCP tools.
When to Activate
- User asks to research any topic in depth
- Competitive analysis, technology evaluation, or market sizing
- Due diligence on companies, investors, or technologies
- Any question requiring synthesis from multiple sources
- User says "research", "deep dive", "investigate", or "what's the current state of"
MCP Requirements
At least one of:
- firecrawl —
firecrawl_search, firecrawl_scrape, firecrawl_crawl
- exa —
web_search_exa, web_search_advanced_exa, crawling_exa
Both together give the best coverage. Configure in ~/.claude.json or ~/.codex/config.toml.
Workflow
Step 1: Understand the Goal
Ask 1-2 quick clarifying questions:
- "What's your goal — learning, making a decision, or writing something?"
- "Any specific angle or depth you want?"
If the user says "just research it" — skip ahead with reasonable defaults.
Step 2: Plan the Research
Break the topic into 3-5 research sub-questions. Example:
- Topic: "Impact of AI on healthcare"
- What are the main AI applications in healthcare today?
- What clinical outcomes have been measured?
- What are the regulatory challenges?
- What companies are leading this space?
- What's the market size and growth trajectory?
