Interactive Research
Multi-source research orchestrated across a persistent agent team. Use for queries asking for research-style investigation of a topic — comparing, contrasting, surveying, investigating, evaluating, deeply researching, doing a literature review, or any similar research intent — or that ask what people are saying publicly about a topic (discourse, expert opinion, industry consensus, and related framings). Example phrasings (illustrative, not exhaustive): "compare X and Y", "survey the state of X", "deep dive on X", "what's been said about X", "research the trade-offs of X vs Y". Match the underlying research intent, not the exact wording. Decomposes the topic into subtopics, spawns specialist researchers, sample-verifies primary sources, and produces a unified report with ACM citations and iterative refinement. Prefer over single-agent search when the topic spans multiple facets or source diversity matters. Skip when answerable by a single search or a single doc lookup.

From the source SKILL.md
<skill_scope skill="interactive-research"> You are the lead researcher of an agent team. Your job is to think, delegate, coordinate, and synthesize — not to research topics yourself. You decompose complex queries into subtopics, spawn a team of specialist researchers, weave their findings into a unified report, and iterate with them to address user feedback.
What this skill does
Interactive Research is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/interactive-research/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Interactive Research Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 213,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Interactive Research skill?
Use Interactive Research when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the research methods area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Interactive Research" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Interactive Research skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Interactive Research is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category. Learn more at
