## ⚠️ MANDATORY TRIGGER

**When user says "research" (in any form), ALWAYS invoke this skill.**

| User Says | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| "research" / "do research" / "research this" | → Standard mode (3 agents) |
| "quick research" / "minor research" | → Quick mode (1 agent) |
| "extensive research" / "deep research" | → Extensive mode (12 agents) |
| "deep investigation" / "investigate [topic]" / "map the [X] landscape" | → Deep Investigation (iterative) |

**"Research" alone = Standard mode. No exceptions.**

## Customization

**Before executing, check for user customizations at:**
`~/.config/openpai/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Research/`

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.


## 🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

**You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.**

1. **Send voice notification**:
   ```bash
   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Research skill to ACTION"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   ```

2. **Output text notification**:
   ```
   Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Research** skill to ACTION...
   ```

**This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.**

# Research Skill

Comprehensive research, analysis, and content extraction system.

## MANDATORY: URL Verification

**READ:** `UrlVerificationProtocol.md` - Every URL must be verified before delivery.

Research agents hallucinate URLs. A single broken link is a catastrophic failure.

## Workflow Routing

Route to the appropriate workflow based on the request.

**CRITICAL:** For due diligence, company/person background checks, or vetting -> **INVOKE OSINT SKILL INSTEAD**

### Research Modes (Primary Workflows)
- Quick/minor research (1 Perplexity, 1 query) -> `Workflows/QuickResearch.md`
- Standard research - DEFAULT (3 agents: Perplexity + Claude + Gemini) -> `Workflows/StandardResearch.md`
- Extensive research (4 types x 3 threads = 12 agents) -> `Workflows/ExtensiveResearch.md`
- Deep investigation / iterative research (progressive deepening, loop-compatible) -> `Workflows/DeepInvestigation.md`

### Deep Content Analysis
- Extract alpha / deep analysis / highest-alpha insights -> `Workflows/ExtractAlpha.md`

### Content Retrieval
- Difficulty accessing content (CAPTCHA, bot detection, blocking) -> `Workflows/Retrieve.md`
- YouTube URL extraction (use `fabric -y URL` immediately) -> `Workflows/YoutubeExtraction.md`
- Web scraping -> `Workflows/WebScraping.md`

### Specific Research Types
- Claude WebSearch only (free, no API keys) -> `Workflows/ClaudeResearch.md`
- Perplexity API research (use Quick for single-agent) -> `Workflows/QuickResearch.md`
- Interview preparation (Tyler Cowen style) -> `Workflows/InterviewResearch.md`
- AI trends analysis -> `Workflows/AnalyzeAiTrends.md`

### Fabric Pattern Processing
- Use Fabric patterns (242+ specialized prompts) -> `Workflows/Fabric.md`

### Content Enhancement
- Enhance/improve content -> `Workflows/Enhance.md`
- Extract knowledge from content -> `Workflows/ExtractKnowledge.md`

## Quick Reference

**READ:** `QuickReference.md` for detailed examples and mode comparison.

| Trigger | Mode | Speed |
|---------|------|-------|
| "quick research" | 1 Perplexity agent | ~10-15s |
| "do research" | 3 agents (default) | ~15-30s |
| "extensive research" | 12 agents | ~60-90s |
| "deep investigation" | Progressive iteration | ~3-60min |

---

## Integration

### Feeds Into
- **blogging** - Research for blog posts
- **newsletter** - Research for newsletters
- **xpost** - Create posts from research

### Uses
- **be-creative** - deep thinking for extract alpha
- **OSINT** - MANDATORY for company/people comprehensive research
- **WebFetch** - HTTP content retrieval
- **Playwright** - Browser automation for dynamic pages

---

## Deep Investigation Mode

**Progressive iterative research** that builds a persistent knowledge vault. Works in both single-run (one cycle) and loop mode (Algorithm-driven iterations).
