🧩 One of 6 skills in the firecrawl/web-agent package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Deep Research

Search Strategy

  • Break the topic into 3-5 distinct angles
  • 2-3 queries per angle using different terminology
  • Use site: operator for targeted searches (e.g. site:arxiv.org, site:github.com)
  • Include official, comparison, and review-oriented queries
  • Aim for 5-10 unique, high-quality sources

Extraction

  • Scrape each source with a targeted query parameter -- don't dump full pages into context
  • Extract: key claims, data points, dates, attributed quotes
  • Record author, publication, date, and URL for every source

Fact-Checking

  • Cross-reference claims across 2+ sources
  • Flag single-source claims explicitly
  • Assign confidence: high (3+ sources agree), medium (2), low (1 or conflicting)
  • Include contrarian viewpoints -- don't confirmation-bias the results

Output

  • Structure by subtopic, not by source
  • Inline citations for every claim
  • Call formatOutput with the structured data
