# /dr — deep-research Multi-source deep research using firecrawl and exa, synthesizing findings into cited reports with inline attribution, confidence ratings, and explicit knowledge gaps. `/dr` searches the web across multiple sources (firecrawl and exa MCPs, falling back to plain web search/fetch), synthesizes what it finds, and delivers a cited report — inline source attribution, a confidence rating per claim, and the gaps it couldn't fill left explicit rather than papered over. It's the workhorse both [concept-family-explorer](/skills/concept-family-explorer/) and [rabbithole](/skills/rabbithole/) call into for the actual per-concept research; those two skills decide *what* to research and *when to stop* — `/dr` is what actually goes and researches it, once a concept has been named. **Use it for:** "research the current state of X", "deep dive into X vs Y", "due diligence on company X", "what's the latest on X" — anything that names a concrete topic and wants a synthesized, cited answer. **Not for:** a quick one-fact lookup with no synthesis needed (answer directly) · mapping which topics are worth researching in the first place (concept-family-explorer) · editing an existing document · a subject broad enough that it needs breadth-first family-mapping before any one topic is worth a `/dr` call.
