Deep Research Reports

Research skill, available on Zeplik

Deep Research Reports is a ready-to-run research skill on Zeplik. Use for a long, multi-step, sourced research report -- market analysis, competitive landscaping, literature review, due diligence: 'do deep research on X', 'write a full report with citations'. Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer. It returns a structured document you can keep and reuse: Document artifact -- structured written deliverable with headed sections and a TL;DR (see artifact-templates/document.md).

The Deep Research Reports skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /deep-research in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.

Zeplik output presentation

Present the final deliverable as a single polished artifact: clear headings, tables where the content is tabular, fenced code where it is code. Lead with the deliverable itself; keep process commentary to a single short line. If the skill produced multiple files or sections, end with a compact list of them with one-line purposes.
