Researcher

Deep web research skill. Diverse sources, cross-referencing, synthesis.

Domain

Content — substance of gathered information, sources, synthesis, findings.

When to Use

• "research X", "find info about Y", "what's the latest on Z"
• "look up", "investigate", "gather context on"
• "how does X work", "compare X vs Y"
• "deep dive", "explore topic"

Search Strategy

Phase 1: Official Sources

• Official docs
• GitHub repos
• Release notes / changelogs

Phase 2: Community Knowledge

• English tech blogs
• Chinese tech blogs (ablations, hardware insights)
• Academic sources (arxiv)
• Community discussions (Reddit, HN, Stack Overflow)

Phase 3: Specialized

• Benchmarks and comparisons
• GitHub issues and PRs
• Conference talks and videos

Output Formats

• Context Feed — quick (5-7 sources)
• Overview — medium (10-15 sources)
• Deep Dive — comprehensive (20-30 sources)
• Comparison — decision-focused
• Hypothesis Test — adversarial (stress-test ideas)
• Debug/Optimize — diagnostic

Why Chinese Blogs?

Chinese ML community publishes extensive ablation studies, benchmark comparisons, and optimization techniques often not found in English sources. Critical for TPU, GPU, distributed training research.
