Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.

Local-first multi-step research with question decomposition, parallel search, structured briefs, cross-references, and gap analysis. Use when the user needs comprehensive analysis, comparison reports, literature reviews, or says "research", "compare X vs Y", "deep dive", "thorough analysis", "find everything about". Returns a structured `brief` with `topics`, `highlights`, `key_findings`, `sections.overview.cross_references`, `sections.comparison`, `sections.gaps`.

SKILL.md

wigolo research

Comprehensive multi-source research with structured output. Beats chaining search + fetch manually for multi-source synthesis.

Quick Reference

json
// Standard research
{ "question": "How does Deno 2 compare to Node.js for production?", "depth": "standard" }
// Comprehensive (more sources, deeper analysis)
{ "question": "SQLite vs PostgreSQL vs DuckDB for analytics", "depth": "comprehensive" }
// Quick factual check
{ "question": "What are the breaking changes in React 19?", "depth": "quick" }
// Domain-scoped research
{ "question": "Next.js App Router patterns", "depth": "standard", "include_domains": ["nextjs.org", "vercel.com"] }
// With structured output schema
{ "question": "Compare Prisma vs Drizzle vs TypeORM", "depth": "standard", "schema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "orm": { "type": "string" }, "bundle_size": { "type": "string" }, "type_safety": { "type": "string" } } } }

Override the source count for the chosen depth with max_sources (cap 50) — raise it to widen coverage, lower it to keep a run fast.

Output: Structured Brief

When MCP sampling is unavailable (common case), the output carries a brief:

json
{
"brief": {
"key_findings": [...], // top passages across all sources — start report here
"topics": [...], // sources grouped by sub-query
"sections": {
"overview": { "cross_references": [...] }, // findings corroborated by 2+ sources — most reliable
"comparison": {...}, // entity-specific points for X vs Y queries
"gaps": [...] // sub-queries / named entities with limited coverage
}
},
"sub_queries": [...],
"sources": [...],
"query_type": "..." // decomposition strategy used
}

Gaps surface named sub-entities that decomposition or search could not corroborate — never silently dropped.

Writing the Report

See wigolo/rules/synthesis.md. Quick version:

  1. Start with key_findings for the executive summary.
  2. Use sections.overview.cross_references for the most reliable claims.
  3. Write sections from topics.
  4. Build comparison table from sections.comparison (if present).
  5. Note sections.gaps as limitations.
  6. Cite with [N] format from citations.

Anti-Patterns

  • DON'T use for single-URL lookups — use fetch instead.
  • DON'T use for data gathering — use agent with a schema instead.
  • DON'T pre-probe cache before calling research — it checks internally.

When NOT to use wigolo-research

  • You want a single-shot search result, not a synthesized report — use search with format: "answer".
