## Research Skill

USE WHEN user says 'do research', 'extract wisdom', 'analyze content', 'find information about', or requests web/content research.

### Research Modes

- Quick: 1 agent per type, 2 min timeout
- Standard (default): 3 agents per type, 3 min timeout
- Extensive: 8 agents per type, 10 min timeout

### Available Agents

`claude-researcher` (free, WebSearch), `perplexity-researcher` (PERPLEXITY_API_KEY), `gemini-researcher` (GOOGLE_API_KEY).

### Workflow Routing

- Parallel research → read `${PAI_DIR}/Skills/research/workflows/conduct.md`
- Claude research (free) → `workflows/claude-research.md`
- Blocked content / CAPTCHA → escalate: WebFetch → BrightData → Apify
- YouTube URL → `fabric -y <URL>` then pattern
- Fabric patterns → 242+ patterns including: `extract_wisdom`, `summarize`, `create_threat_model`, `analyze_claims`, `improve_writing`

### Fabric Usage

`fabric [input] -p [pattern]` or `fabric -u "URL" -p [pattern]` or `fabric -y "YOUTUBE_URL" -p [pattern]`
