- What
- Run systematic multi-angle research and deliver structured reports: PESTEL, 5W1H, argument maps, executive briefs to deep dives
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- none for the guidance itself; document output (create_docx, create_xlsx) needs the project's office-mcp server wired up
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor — @claude-office-skills' deep-research skill: a five-phase method (scoping, information gathering, analysis, synthesis, reporting) for comprehensive multi-perspective research on any topic, with PESTEL and 5W1H frameworks, argument mapping with counter-argument rebuttals, and four ready-made output formats — executive brief, standard 5–10 page report, 15+ page deep dive, or slide-ready bullets — all with sources, key findings and recommendations. Pairs with the sibling `academic-search` skill for the literature side. Honest caveats: guidance only — no live internet access, no paywalled or proprietary databases, no primary research (surveys, interviews), no 100%-accuracy guarantee; its own footer says findings should be verified with primary sources for critical decisions; it references the project's office-mcp server (create_docx, create_xlsx) for document output, which you must have wired up; MIT-licensed. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Prerequisites: none for the guidance itself; document output (create_docx, create_xlsx) needs the project's office-mcp server wired up Install "Deep research: multi-phase research report writer" for me. A five-phase method for systematic multi-angle research — PESTEL and 5W1H frameworks, argument mapping, and four report formats from executive brief to deep dive — by @claude-office-skills, MIT-licensed. Pairs with the sibling academic-search skill. Repository: https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills/blob/main/deep-research/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "deep-research". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. wire up the office-mcp server for docx/xlsx output; fetch the sibling academic-search skill for literature work). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
