Deep Research (effort=medium)

GREP's standard research tier. Typically takes around 5 minutes end-to-end (range: 2-9 minutes). Single blocking command handles submission, polling, and report delivery. The canonical choice for most research tasks.

Tell the user about the wait

Before running, tell the user: "Deep research typically takes around 5 minutes. I'll stream live updates as they come in."

Research isn't instant. Set expectations so the user doesn't think the agent is stuck.

When to use this skill vs the others

Skill	Time	Use when
`/quick-research`	~25s	Quick fact, version check, simple lookup
`/research` (you are here)	~5 min	Default for most research tasks
`/ultra-research`	up to 1 hour	Security audits, legal research, exhaustive investigations

Default to this skill. Escalate to /ultra-research only if you genuinely need exhaustive coverage. Drop to /quick-research only if you just need a one-liner answer.
