topic-research
From the author
Research any topic end to end and get back a fact-checked, branded HTML report plus an agent-readable markdown brief. Use when the user wants to research a topic, do a deep dive, build a research report or briefing, gather evidence before writing a piece of content, understand 'what does the research say / what are people saying about X', or study a subject across papers, forums, YouTube, and vendor/web sources. Fans out parallel sub-agents (one per source type), verifies every hard claim with the fact-checker, synthesizes one sourced markdown brief, renders it as a branded report, and deploys it live. Connector-adaptive: uses Firecrawl, Apify, a scholarly/PubMed MCP, YouTube/vidIQ, and Reddit where available, and falls back to web search, web fetch, and browser-use where they are not. Trigger on 'research this topic', 'topic research', 'do a deep dive on', 'build me a research report', 'what does the evidence say about', or 'research X before I write about it'.

- firecrawl-deep-researchfirecrawl/skillsProduce an intensive, cited analytical report: executive summary, multi-angle findings, contrarian views, open questions, and full sources. Use only when the user needs rigorous synthesis of a complex topic (scientific, technical, policy, or market-analytical) that cannot be answered with a short search, and wants a formal written report, not a recommendation list. Do not use for product picks, top-N lists, quick lookups, or routine "find out about X" tasks. If the request does not clearly need this kind of report, do not use this skill. Do not use for a literature review over published papers. This skill collects evidence from the open web. A request for the literature on a biomedical, clinical, life-science, or other scientific topic — papers, studies, trials, preprints — belongs to firecrawl-research-papers, which queries Firecrawl's paper index (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv) instead of searching websites.Science★ 136
