--- name: deep-research description: Deprecated name; the skill formerly here is now opinionated-research:interactive-research. Retained as a context-level notice because Claude Code now ships a built-in deep-research workflow that runs one-shot, non-interactive fan-out research (no conversation after the report). interactive-research instead runs a persistent agent team you can keep questioning once the report lands. Guidance for Claude: when the user makes a research request, ask whether they

This skill was renamed to opinionated-research:interactive-research. It's kept
only so the old name doesn't silently resolve to the wrong thing, and to remind
Claude to disambiguate. Two different tools now answer to "deep research":
opinionated-research:interactive-research (this plugin): a persistent
agent team that researches the topic and stays alive, so you can question the
researchers, push back on the synthesis, and refine after the report lands.deep-research (ships with Claude Code): a one-shot workflow —
fan-out search, fetch, adversarial verification, synthesized report. Fast and
thorough, but non-interactive: when it finishes, there's nothing left to talk to.When a user asks for research, ask which they want before proceeding, then invoke the chosen tool. Don't treat this notice itself as a research tool.

--- name: interactive-research description: Multi-source research orchestrated across a persistent agent team. Use for queries asking for research-style investigation of a topic — comparing, contrasting, surveying, investigating, evaluating, deeply researching, doing a literature review, or any similar research intent — or that ask what people are saying publicly about a topic (discourse, expert opinion, industry consensus, and related framings). Example phrasings (illustrative, not exhaustive):
development
Expert-level guidance for creating high-quality Claude Code skills. Use alongside Anthropic's skill-creator when creating new skills, improving existing skills, or needing guidance on skill content quality. Complements basic skill mechanics with research-driven content development, XML tag structuring, decision frameworks over mechanics, cross-references between skills, and systematic validation.
development
Pedagogical framework for teaching programming through Socratic dialogue. Use when a learner wants to LEARN programming rather than have code written for them. Triggers include "teach me", "help me understand", "I'm learning", "tutor mode", or requests to not provide solutions. Emphasizes productive struggle, graduated hints, metacognitive scaffolding, and emotional support.
development
Core TDD philosophy and testing principles. Use when writing tests interactively or need testing guidance. Emphasizes tests as contracts, mock boundaries not internals, and implementation fixes over test changes.
