Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Check the progress of the current or most recent deep research run. Shows stage, source counts, claim counts, and any issues.
125 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • Find the latest deep research run directory
  • Read run metadata and current status from run.json
  • Count entries in sources.jsonl, claims.jsonl, and evidence.jsonl
  • List notes files in the notes/ directory
  • Check for the existence and content of report.md

How it works

The skill identifies the most recent deep research run, reads its metadata and various data files, and performs a quick audit to generate a summary of the research progress.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A request to check the status of the most recent deep research run.
You get back
A concise status summary including run ID, topic, status, source counts, claim counts, evidence edge count, notes count, report status, and audit result.

When to use status

  • Checking research progress
  • Verifying if a report is complete
  • Debugging a stuck research run

About this skill

Check the status of the most recent deep research run.

Instructions

  1. Find the latest run directory under .deep-research/runs/ (sort by directory name, most recent first).
  2. Read run.json for the run metadata and current status.
  3. Count entries in sources.jsonl, claims.jsonl, and evidence.jsonl.
  4. List any notes files in the notes/ directory.
  5. Check if report.md exists and has content.
  6. Run a quick audit: python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dr_audit.py --mode full --run-dir <run_dir>

Output

Provide a concise status summary:

  • Run ID: the run identifier
  • Topic: the research question
  • Status: current phase (planning/scouting/analyzing/synthesizing/complete)
  • Sources: count and breakdown by type
  • Claims: count and breakdown by importance and status
  • Evidence: edge count
  • Notes: number of source notes written
  • Report: exists/empty/missing
  • Audit: pass/fail with failure details if any

When not to use it

  • When initiating a new deep research run
  • When the task is to modify research data or reports
  • When detailed analysis of research content is required

Limitations

  • Only checks the most recent deep research run.
  • Provides counts and existence checks, not content analysis of sources, claims, or evidence.
  • The audit provides a pass/fail status with failure details, not a complete report.

How it compares

This skill provides a structured summary of a deep research run's progress, consolidating information from multiple files and an audit script, unlike manually inspecting each file.
