parallel-deep-research
The parallel-deep-research skill executes long-running, multi-source research tasks via the parallel-cli. It supports asynchronous execution, progress monitoring, and context chaining for follow-up queries.
Is parallel-deep-research safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of parallel-deep-research's source files found 8 shell commands, 0 external URLs, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands via parallel-cli and writes research results to local files.
How we audit skills: our security review methodology.
Who is this skill for?
Users requiring exhaustive, comprehensive research reports rather than quick web lookups.
What can you do with it?
- Exploratory research on complex topics
- Multi-source deep investigations
- Follow-up research tasks using previous interaction context
- Generating markdown reports with inline citations
How good is this skill?
Quality score: 5/10. The skill documentation is clear, provides specific command examples, and includes necessary error handling and usage constraints.
What does the skill file contain?
# Deep Research Research topic: $ARGUMENTS > Requires `parallel-cli` ≥ 0.3.0. If any command below errors with `no such option`, `no such command`, or `unrecognized arguments`, the user is on an older CLI. Tell them to run `parallel-cli update` (or `pipx upgrade parallel-web-tools` if installed via pipx), then retry. ## When to use (vs parallel-web-search) ONLY use this skill when the user explicitly requests deep/exhaustive research. Deep research is 10-100x slower and more expensive than parallel-web-search. For normal "research X" requests, quick lookups, or fact-checking, use **paralle...
Frequently asked questions
When should I use this instead of parallel-web-search?
Use this skill only when the user explicitly requests deep, exhaustive, or comprehensive research. It is significantly slower and more expensive than parallel-web-search.
How do I handle follow-up questions?
Pass the interaction_id from the previous research task as the --previous-interaction-id argument in the new research command to maintain context.
What happens if the poll command times out?
The research continues server-side. Re-run the poll command to check for completion.
