This skill should be used when conducting comprehensive research on any topic using the OpenAI Deep Research API. It automates prompt enhancement through interactive clarifying questions, saves research parameters, and executes deep research with web search capabilities. Use when the user asks for in-depth analysis, investigation, research summaries, or topic exploration.

Use when teams need to move from qualitative signals to product or design decisions without fabricating certainty.

Team-first maximum-saturation research orchestration for omo-senpi. Scopes solo, ALWAYS asks which final format to render (PDF+DOCX default), then stands up a max-size cooperating team (team_create): one member per axis plus skeptic/red-team members for ultradebate/hyperdebate cross-critique, explore/librarian lanes, live ulw-loop journaling, an EXPAND loop until leads run dry, claims proven by code or the claim-graph gate, and a cited synthesis with charts/Mermaid/assets behind visual-QA and `writing` proofread gates. ACTIVATES ONLY on an explicit user demand for research: the word 'ulw-research' ('/ulw-research', '$ulw-research'), any 'ulw' research wording, 'ultradebate' or 'hyperdebate' research requests, or an explicit request for research / deep research / an ultra-precise investigation, in any language. Never self-activates for ordinary questions, debugging, or implementation context-gathering. While active it overrides exploration-bounding defaults: exhaustive coverage is the goal.

Maximum-saturation research orchestration: ALWAYS proposes the final materials first (PDF+DOCX default), then parallel explore+librarian swarms across codebase, web, official docs, and OSS repos — max-roster teammode when the harness has it — with live journaling, a recursive EXPAND loop driven by leads workers return in message text, empirical verification by running code, and a cited synthesis with charts/Mermaid/assets behind a mandatory visual-QA gate. ACTIVATES ONLY on an explicit user demand for research — the word 'ulw-research' ('/ulw-research', '$ulw-research'), any 'ulw' research wording, 'ultradebate' or 'hyperdebate' research requests, or an explicit request for research / deep research / an ultra-precise investigation, in any language. Never self-activates for ordinary questions, debugging, or implementation context-gathering. While active it overrides exploration-bounding defaults: exhaustive coverage is the goal.

"Solve competition math problems (IMO, Putnam, USAMO, AIME) with adversarial verification that catches the errors self-verification misses. Activates when asked to 'solve this IMO problem', 'prove this olympiad inequality', 'verify this competition proof', 'find a counterexample', 'is this proof correct', or for any problem with 'IMO', 'Putnam', 'USAMO', 'olympiad', or 'competition math' in it. Uses pure reasoning (no tools) — then a fresh-context adversarial verifier attacks the proof using specific failure patterns, not generic 'check logic'. Outputs calibrated confidence — will say 'no confident solution' rather than bluff. If LaTeX is available, produces a clean PDF after verification passes."

Search scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental data extracted from full-text studies via the BGPT MCP server. Returns 25+ fields per paper including methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, and conclusions.
