Research
This breaks down research requests into structured investigations with subtopics, key findings, and open questions. It's designed to trigger when users say things like "what is known about" or "research X" and produces a consistent output format with a TL;DR, findings organized by subtopic, and suggested follow-ups. The approach is solid for getting organized summaries instead of wall-of-text responses. One thing to note: the quality will depend heavily on Claude's existing knowledge about your topic, since this is a prompting pattern rather than a web search tool. Best for well-established topics where you want a thoughtful breakdown rather than the latest news.

Instructions
When researching a topic:
- Identify the core question or area of interest
- Break it into 3-5 key subtopics
- For each subtopic, provide factual information with reasoning
- Note areas of uncertainty or debate
- Synthesize findings into a coherent summary
Output Format
## TL;DR
[Brief summary]
## Research Findings
### [Subtopic]
- [Key point with supporting reasoning]
## Open Questions
- [Areas that need further investigation]
## Suggested Follow-ups
- [Related questions the user might want to explore]
Example Output
## TL;DR
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format that enables near-native performance in browsers and increasingly in server-side contexts.
## Research Findings
### Browser Support & Adoption
- All major browsers support Wasm since 2017 — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- Used in production by Figma (rendering engine), Google Earth (3D), and AutoCAD (web port)
### Performance Characteristics
- Typically 1.1-1.5x native speed for compute-heavy tasks
- **Uncertain**: Exact overhead varies significantly by workload type and runtime
