  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by davila7 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Deep Research AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates.git /tmp/claude-code-templates
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-code-templates/cli-tool/components/skills/ai-research/deep-research .claude/skills/deep-research
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Deep Research in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Deep Research on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Deep Research is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Gemini Deep Research Skill

Run autonomous research tasks that plan, search, read, and synthesize information into comprehensive reports.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Performing market analysis
  • Conducting competitive landscaping
  • Creating literature reviews
  • Doing technical research
  • Performing due diligence
  • Need detailed, cited research reports

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • httpx: pip install -r requirements.txt
  • GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

Setup

  1. Get a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio
  2. Set the environment variable:
    bash
    export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    Or create a .env file in the skill directory.

Usage

Start a research task

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research the history of Kubernetes"

With structured output format

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --query "Compare Python web frameworks" \
  --format "1. Executive Summary\n2. Comparison Table\n3. Recommendations"

Stream progress in real-time

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --query "Analyze EV battery market" --stream

Start without waiting

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --query "Research topic" --no-wait

Check status of running research

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --status <interaction_id>

Wait for completion

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --wait <interaction_id>

Continue from previous research

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --query "Elaborate on point 2" --continue <interaction_id>

List recent research

bash
python3 scripts/research.py --list

Output Formats

  • Default: Human-readable markdown report
  • JSON (--json): Structured data for programmatic use
  • Raw (--raw): Unprocessed API response

Cost & Time

MetricValue
Time2-10 minutes per task
Cost$2-5 per task (varies by complexity)
Token usage~250k-900k input, ~60k-80k output

Best Use Cases

  • Market analysis and competitive landscaping
  • Technical literature reviews
  • Due diligence research
  • Historical research and timelines
  • Comparative analysis (frameworks, products, technologies)

Workflow

  1. User requests research → Run --query "..."
  2. Inform user of estimated time (2-10 minutes)
  3. Monitor with --stream or poll with --status
  4. Return formatted results
  5. Use --continue for follow-up questions

Exit Codes

  • 0: Success
  • 1: Error (API error, config issue, timeout)
  • 130: Cancelled by user (Ctrl+C)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Deep Research AI skill do?

Run autonomous research tasks that plan, search, read, and synthesize information into comprehensive reports.

Why use Deep Research on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Deep Research is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Deep Research in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/main/cli-tool/components/skills/ai-research/deep-research. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Deep Research?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Deep Research?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Deep Research with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Deep Research AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by davila7 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
