AF research-deep
Deep research skill that decomposes questions into parallel sub-queries, executes searches concurrently, selectively fetches high-value sources, and synthesizes structured answers with confidence ratings. Replaces slow sequential search-read-search loops with a planned, parallel-first methodology. Use when asked to "research", "deep dive", "investigate", "find out about", or any multi-source research task.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
