What it does

Parallel Research is a powerful orchestration skill designed to turn slow, manual deep-dives into a structured, automated workflow. Instead of researching in a linear loop, this skill decomposes a complex topic into 3-5 distinct sub-questions (angles), executes targeted searches for each simultaneously, fetches full-page content for deeper analysis, and synthesizes everything into a professional Markdown report saved directly to your workspace.

Why use this skill

Standard LLM web searches often suffer from "rabbit hole" syndrome—getting bogged down in one source or missing the bigger picture. This skill enforces a "parallel execution" pattern used by professional analysts to ensure comprehensive coverage. It handles the heavy lifting of:

• Angle Decomposition: Automatically identifying market, technical, and strategic dimensions of your query.
• Fact Verification: Cross-referencing sources to flag contradictions and information gaps.
• Structured Output: Generating a citation-rich report with executive summaries and recommended next steps.
• Persistence: Saving the final output to disk so your research lives beyond the chat window.

Supported Tools

This skill leverages a full suite of agentic capabilities including WebSearch for discovery, WebFetch for deep content extraction, and Filesystem access (Read/Write/Bash) for report generation and directory management.
