Generates structured research reports with evidence tables, citations, multi-pass synthesis, and format enforcement for literature reviews, market analysis, or policy briefs.
npx claudepluginhub proyecto26/sherlock-ai-plugin --plugin sherlock-ai-pluginThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Create high-fidelity research reports with strict format control, evidence mapping, and multi-pass synthesis.
Generates standardized Markdown research reports with YAML frontmatter, executive summaries, findings, conclusions, and bibliographies from multi-agent research data.
Orchestrates multi-agent writing of academic papers or proposals from research artifacts, with evidence-grounded prose, MAGI cross-review, and quality validation.
Performs deep research on 11 types (market, technical, competitive, academic, etc.) via parallel web searches, multi-source validation, confidence scores, and cited Markdown reports.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
Create high-fidelity research reports with strict format control, evidence mapping, and multi-pass synthesis.
Copy this checklist and track progress:
Deep Research Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Intake and format contract
- [ ] Step 2: Research plan and query set
- [ ] Step 3: Evidence collection (deepresearch tool)
- [ ] Step 4: Source triage and evidence table
- [ ] Step 5: Outline and section map
- [ ] Step 6: Multi-pass full drafting (parallel subagents)
- [ ] Step 7: UNION merge and format compliance
- [ ] Step 8: Evidence and citation verification
- [ ] Step 9: Present draft for human review and iterate
Establish the report requirements before any research:
Create a concise report spec file:
Report Spec:
- Audience:
- Purpose:
- Scope:
- Time Range:
- Geography:
- Required Sections:
- Section Formatting Rules:
- Citation Style:
- Output Format:
- Length Targets:
- Tone:
- Must-Include Sources:
- Must-Exclude Topics:
If a user provides a template or an example report, treat it as a hard constraint and mirror the structure.
Define the research strategy before calling tools:
Use references/research_plan_checklist.md for guidance.
Use the deepresearch tool to collect evidence and citations.
File structure (recommended):
<output_dir>/research/<topic-name>/
deepresearch_pass1.md
deepresearch_pass2.md
deepresearch_pass3.md
If deepresearch is unavailable, rely on user-provided sources only and state limitations explicitly.
Normalize and score sources before drafting:
Evidence table minimum columns:
Create an outline that enforces the format contract:
Avoid single-pass drafting; generate multiple complete reports, then merge.
Use the Task tool to spawn parallel subagents with isolated context. Each subagent must:
Implementation pattern:
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Draft complete report ...", run_in_background=false) -> version1.md
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Draft complete report ...", run_in_background=false) -> version2.md
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Draft complete report ...", run_in_background=false) -> version3.md
Write drafts to files, not conversation context:
<output_dir>/intermediate/<topic-name>/version1.md
<output_dir>/intermediate/<topic-name>/version2.md
<output_dir>/intermediate/<topic-name>/version3.md
Merge using UNION, never remove content without evidence-based justification:
Verify traceability:
Use references/completeness_review_checklist.md.
Present the draft as a reviewable version:
| File | When to Load |
|---|---|
| research_report_template.md | Build outline and draft structure |
| formatting_rules.md | Enforce section formatting and citation rules |
| source_quality_rubric.md | Score and triage sources |
| research_plan_checklist.md | Build research plan and query set |
| completeness_review_checklist.md | Review for coverage, citations, and compliance |
