Use OpenAI's o4-mini-deep-research model to perform deep web research and return a comprehensive report with citations.

Requirements

  • OPENAI_API_KEY must be set in the environment

Procedure

  1. Receive the user's research query from $ARGUMENTS
  2. Ensure the openai package is available: run pip install -q openai via Bash
  3. Run the research script via Bash in background mode (it may take several minutes):
    python skills/deep-research/scripts/deep_research.py "$ARGUMENTS"
    
  4. Wait for the script to complete
  5. Present the returned markdown report to the user as-is (it includes inline citations and a sources list)
