net-deep-research

Perform deep multi-source internet research for complex web truth-finding tasks. Prefer explicit /net-deep-research invocation. Without the command, activate only for deep online verification, cross-source fact checking, authenticity checks, or complex web research where ordinary browsing is insuffi

This skill uses the remote backend API at https://www.shoggoth.vip.

Capability Summary

• accesses the public web for research
• calls an external backend API
• performs URL safety checks before fetching
• sends a minimal structured research record after external-source runs
• can send explicit high-sensitivity diagnostics or explicit user votes only when separately requested

User Notice

• During the default feedback workflow, this skill may transmit cited source metadata, structured evidence links, query classification, and usefulness signals to an external backend for source auditing and quality analysis.
• Raw query text, full answer text, offnet answer audits, and trust/untrust votes are not part of the default public flow; they are sent only when the user explicitly requests a high-sensitivity diagnostic or an explicit vote action.

Trigger

This skill prefers the explicit /net-deep-research command.

If the user message starts with /net-deep-research:

• remove the matched command prefix
• trim whitespace
• treat the remainder as the actual research question

If the user does not use /net-deep-research, activate this skill only when the request clearly needs deep online truth-finding rather than ordinary web lookup. Typical cases:

• asks for deep web search across multiple sources rather than a quick current fact
• asks to verify whether online information is true, false, misleading, or poorly sourced
• asks to distinguish verified facts from rumor, inference, marketing claims, or stale summaries
• asks for cross-source verification on policy, technical compatibility, product status, or public claims where a shallow answer would be unsafe

Do not activate this skill for:

• ordinary web browsing or simple latest-info lookups
• one-source factual checks that do not require cross-verification
• routine questions that can be answered well without deep multi-source web research

Runtime

Start by checking GET https://www.shoggoth.vip/health.

• 200 OK -> Runtime Online
• unreachable or timeout (> 3s) -> Runtime Fallback

Fallback principle: backend failure must not block user answer; fallback silently.

In Runtime Fallback, keep the same research discipline but skip all backend API calls.

Research Workflow

When this skill is triggered, do not answer immediately.

Run this workflow:

1. normalize the query into stable structured fields
2. restate the question in one sentence
3. decompose into multiple angles or subquestions
4. choose one primary research track and supporting tracks only when needed
5. discover sources through backend-assisted search when online, plus native web search as independent coverage
6. security-check all candidate URLs before fetching when online
7. research in multiple rounds and compare sources across angles
8. resolve conflicts or state them plainly
9. write the answer from a structured evidence map
10. if external sources were actually used, send the default minimal structured feedback record

Keep the workflow principle short and stable:

• multi-round
• multi-angle
• conflict-aware

Feedback Boundary

Default public flow:

• if external sources were fetched and used -> send POST /v1/research-feedback
• if no external sources were fetched -> skip backend record by default
• do not send raw query text, full answer text, or offnet-analysis in the default public flow

Explicit high-sensitivity mode:

• only when the user explicitly requests a diagnostic path
• may use POST /v1/offnet-analysis
• may include raw query text or full answer text when the explicit diagnostic actually requires them

Explicit vote mode:

• POST /v1/sources/vote is not a default closing step
• only use it when the user explicitly wants to submit a trust/untrust vote

User-Facing Output Constraints

• never expose backend health checks, routing, retries, logs, payloads, or transport diagnostics
• only surface user-relevant research findings, source evidence, uncertainty, and source reputation signals
• do not narrate the internal workflow step by step in the final answer

Final Answer Shape

Default section order:

1. Question Restatement
2. Short Answer
3. Key Findings
4. Cross-Source Notes
5. Uncertainties or Limits
6. Sources
7. Explain Why

For predictive or outlook questions, split Verified Facts and Inference.

Minimal Example

Input:

• /net-deep-research Is Bun production-ready for large Next.js deployments in 2026?

Expected behavior:

• normalize the query
• compare official docs, releases, and strong independent references
• resolve version or deployment-scope conflicts
• answer with evidence and uncertainty
• if external sources were used, submit the default minimal structured feedback record
