Skill audit report

deep-research Audit report.

Deep research on any topic — broad parallel web searches, multi-source validation, confidence tracking, and a cited Markdown report. Use whenever the deliverable is a thorough sourced report rather than a quick answer: 'research <topic>', 'deep dive on X', 'analyze the landscape', 'competitive analysis', 'compare these options', 'who are the players in Z', 'literature review', 'background on Y', 'what papers exist on X', 'product teardown', 'regulatory overview', 'funding landscape', 'what trends are emerging in X', 'patent landscape', 'community health', or any request requiring scanning many sources and producing a cited written analysis. Covers 11 research types: market (TAM/SAM, segments, pricing, trends), domain (industry structure, ecosystem, regulatory overview), technical (architecture, tooling, benchmarks, technology evaluation), competitive (competitor teardown, positioning, win/loss), product (feature analysis, reviews, teardowns, roadmap signals), academic (literature revie

Financial decision safety

58

CHECK

Research-only use: do not treat output as financial advice or execute a position without human approval.

Warnings

  • Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
  • No explicit guardrail against prompt injection from fetched web content; the skill instructs fetching pages but does not state that page content must be treated as untrusted data, not as instructions.
  • allowed-tools grants unrestricted Bash(curl:*) which could be abused if a malicious page or prompt redirects the agent; consider constraining curl to http(s) URLs and writing output only to temp files.
  • No explicit guidance on handling sensitive data or secrets when running curl, pandoc, or md-to-pdf.
  • Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision.
  • Quality score needs review
  • Stars/forks activity: 203 stars, 15 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
