Deep multi-source research via Parallel API. Use when user explicitly asks for thorough research, comprehensive analysis, or investigation of a topic. For quick lookups or news, use parallel-search instead.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Deep, multi-source research for complex topics requiring synthesis from many sources. Returns comprehensive reports with citations.
Trigger this skill when the user asks for: "deep research on...", "thorough investigation of...", "comprehensive report about..." "research everything about...", "full analysis of..." Complex topics requiring synthesis from 10+ sources Competitive analysis, market research, due diligence Questions where depth and accuracy matter more than speed NOT for: Quick lookups or simple questions (use parallel-search) Current news or recent events (use parallel-search with --after-date) Reading specific URLs (use parallel-extract)
parallel-cli research run "your research question" --processor pro-fast --json -o ./report

Basic research: parallel-cli research run "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?" \ --processor pro-fast \ --json -o ./quantum-report Deep competitive analysis: parallel-cli research run "Compare Stripe, Square, and Adyen payment platforms: features, pricing, market position, and developer experience" \ --processor ultra-fast \ --json -o ./payments-analysis Long research question from file: # Create question file cat > /tmp/research-question.txt << 'EOF' Investigate the current state of AI regulation globally: 1. What regulations exist in the US, EU, and China? 2. What's pending or proposed? 3. How do companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic respond? 4. What industry groups are lobbying for/against regulation? EOF parallel-cli research run -f /tmp/research-question.txt \ --processor ultra-fast \ --json -o ./ai-regulation-report Non-blocking research: # Start research without waiting parallel-cli research run "research question" --no-wait # Check status later parallel-cli research status <task-id> # Poll until complete parallel-cli research poll <task-id> --json -o ./report
Write 2-5 sentences describing: The specific question or topic Scope boundaries (time period, geography, industries) What aspects matter most (pricing? features? market share?) Desired output format (comparison table, timeline, pros/cons) Good: Compare the top 5 CRM platforms for B2B SaaS companies with 50-200 employees. Focus on: pricing per seat, integration ecosystem, reporting capabilities. Include recent 2024-2026 changes and customer reviews from G2/Capterra. Poor: Tell me about CRMs
Returns structured JSON with: task_id โ unique identifier for polling status โ pending, running, completed, failed result โ when complete: summary โ executive summary findings[] โ detailed findings with sources sources[] โ all referenced URLs with titles
When presenting research results: Lead with the executive summary verbatim Present key findings without paraphrasing Include source URLs for all facts Note any conflicting information between sources Preserve all facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes
For long conversations, save results and use sessions_spawn: parallel-cli research run "<question>" --json -o /tmp/research-<topic> Then spawn a sub-agent: { "tool": "sessions_spawn", "task": "Read /tmp/research-<topic>.json and present the executive summary and key findings with sources.", "label": "research-summary" }
