Deep Research Brief

Turns a broad question into a structured research plan.

The Prompt
I want to research: [topic]
Produce:
1. The 5 sub-questions that actually matter (reframe my question if it's wrong)
2. For each: what evidence would settle it, and where that evidence typically lives
3. Known contrarian positions I should not ignore
4. A reading order that builds understanding fastest
Fill in before using
[topic]

How to use it

  • → Paste the prompt into your model of choice — it works with any frontier model.
  • → Replace every bracketed placeholder with your specifics. Concrete inputs beat vague ones every time.
  • → If the model asks a clarifying question, answer it — these prompts are designed to invite that.
  • → Iterate on the output, not the prompt. The structure is already tuned.
