A sophisticated multi-agent research framework that leverages Claude Code's native features to automate comprehensive, citation-backed deep research. It targets users requiring in-depth analysis, offering an intelligent, structured, and validated approach to information synthesis, significantly reducing manual research effort.

How It Works

This project employs a multi-agent architecture built upon Claude Code's Skills and Commands system. It utilizes a Graph of Thoughts (GoT) framework for intelligent, graph-based reasoning to manage research paths. A structured 7-phase deep research process is followed, involving parallel research agents with specialized roles, culminating in a citation validation system that rates sources from A (peer-reviewed) to E (speculative) with a chain-of-verification to ensure accuracy and prevent hallucinations.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: Claude Code CLI installed, active Claude Code account with API access.
• Installation: Clone the repository (git clone <repository-url>), then cd Claude-Code-Deep-Research-main. Skills and Commands are pre-configured in the .claude/ directory.
• Basic Usage: Execute /deep-research [your research topic] for an end-to-end workflow.
• Output: Results are saved to the RESEARCH/[topic]/ directory.
• Documentation: Refer to IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md for detailed usage and PROJECT_UNDERSTANDING.md for architecture.

Highlighted Details

• Multi-agent parallel research, deploying 3-8 agents simultaneously.
• Graph of Thoughts optimization for managing and refining research paths.
• Automatic citation validation with an A-E source quality rating system.
• Chain-of-verification process to mitigate hallucinations.
• Structured output includes executive summaries, full reports, data, visuals, and detailed bibliographies.
• Performance claims range from 10-15 minutes for narrow topics to 45-90 minutes for academic literature reviews.

Maintenance & Community

Contributions are welcome, with guidelines provided for adding new skills or improvements. The README does not specify community channels like Discord or Slack, nor does it list notable contributors or sponsorships.

Licensing & Compatibility

This project is provided "as-is for educational and research purposes." No standard open-source license (e.g., MIT, Apache) is specified, implying potential restrictions on commercial use or integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The framework is explicitly provided for educational and research purposes only, with potential limitations for commercial applications. It requires the Claude Code CLI and an active Claude Code account with API access, which may present an adoption barrier. The effectiveness and stability are dependent on the underlying Claude Code agent framework.
