Write, structure, or review a PhD/Master's research proposal. Use when drafting a research proposal, preparing for committee review, writing a thesis outline, or aligning methodology with academic requirements.
Systematic research methodology for building comprehensive, current knowledge on any topic. Requires web_search tool. Use when questions require thorough investigation, recent developments post-cutoff, synthesis across multiple sources, or when Claude's knowledge may be outdated or incomplete. Triggered by "Research", "Investigate", "What's current on", "Latest info on", complex queries needing validation, or technical topics with recent changes.
Apply Bhaskar's critical realism to analyze phenomena through three ontological domains (real, actual, empirical), identify generative causal mechanisms via retroduction, and examine structure-agency interplay. Use this skill when the user needs to go beyond surface correlations to underlying causes, design research that distinguishes mechanisms from events from experiences, or when they ask 'what causes this beyond the observed pattern', 'what structures enable or constrain this behavior', or 'how do I move from correlation to causal explanation'.
Six-phase protocol for adapting methods across research domains
Use when delegating research tasks requiring verified information from multiple authoritative sources - crawls and fact-checks beyond surface-level findings, providing evidence of verification process with confidence levels for each claim
Deep Research Methodology (8-Step Process): Transform vague topics into high-quality research reports. Automatically perform problem decomposition, data stratification, fact extraction, framework comparison, derivation and verification, and deliver structured reports. Trigger Words: - "Deep Research", "In-Depth Study", "In-Depth Analysis" - "Help me research", "Do a research", "Conduct a study" - "Comparative Analysis", "Concept Comparison", "Technology Comparison" - "Write a research report", "Produce a research report" Note: If the user needs a visual diagram instead of a report, please use the research-to-diagram skill.
Guide for conducting thorough and synthesized research, focusing on verification, multi-source analysis, and RAG patterns.
Evidence-first research, architecture discovery, vendor documentation review, benchmark reading, and unknown-system analysis.
Automatically discover research methodology skills when working with research methodology, literature review, systematic review, evidence synthesis, academic research, or experimental design. Activates for research tasks.
Use when substantive documents (reviews, analyses, synthesis documents) need adversarial review to strengthen arguments, identify weak points, and challenge assumptions before editorial polish (mandatory for Writer → Devil's Advocate pairing protocol)
Comprehensive DeepResearch methodology for conducting rigorous, traceable research projects with quality gates, structured analysis, and decision-ready deliverables. Use when (1) Conducting deep research projects requiring evidence-based analysis, (2) Managing research progress with quality gates and artifacts, (3) Producing research reports with traceable sources and structured reasoning, (4) Applying OSINT verification techniques, (5) Using structured analytic techniques (ACH, Key Assumptions Check, Red Team), (6) Expressing uncertainty and confidence in research findings, (7) Ensuring research deliverables meet intelligence tradecraft standards (ICD 203/206/208)
Deep research expert for comprehensive technical investigations. Use when conducting technology evaluations, comparing solutions, analyzing papers, or exploring technical trends.
