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`.

wigolo research
Comprehensive multi-source research with structured output. Beats chaining search + fetch manually for multi-source synthesis.
Quick Reference
Depth Levels
| Depth | Sub-queries | Sources | Time | Use case | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
quick | 2-3 | 5-8 | ~15s | Quick factual check | |
standard | 4-5 | 10-15 | ~40s | Normal research (default) | |
comprehensive | 6-7 | 20-25 | ~80s | Deep comparison, full review |
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:
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:
- Start with
key_findingsfor the executive summary. - Use
sections.overview.cross_referencesfor the most reliable claims. - Write sections from
topics. - Build comparison table from
sections.comparison(if present). - Note
sections.gapsas limitations. - Cite with [N] format from
citations.
Anti-Patterns
- DON'T use for single-URL lookups — use
fetchinstead. - DON'T use for data gathering — use
agentwith 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
searchwithformat: "answer".
