🔬 Deep Research Skill
Capabilities
This skill leverages specific Gemini Research features to provide higher-fidelity analysis than standard chat.
Uncertainty Quantification (Logprobs):
- When analyzing complex topics, this skill checks the
logprobsof the generated tokens. - It highlights statements where the model's confidence is low, preventing hallucinations.
- When analyzing complex topics, this skill checks the
Rigorous Citations (CitationMetadata):
- Enforces strict citation extraction using
groundingMetadata.
- Enforces strict citation extraction using
Long-Context Synthesis:
- Optimized for ingesting full PDF papers or large text dumps (up to 2M tokens).
Instructions
For Paper Analysis
- Ingest: Read the full content of the file.
- Analyze: Use the configured Pro model (currently
gemini-3-pro-preview) withthinking_level="HIGH". - Output: structured report with:
- Core Thesis: What is the paper claiming?
- Methodology Evaluation: Is it sound?
- Confidence Score: Based on Logprobs (simulated or actual if access permits).
- Novelty Assessment: How does this comparing to existing literature?
For Fact Checking
- Activate
google_searchtool. - Cross-reference claims.
- Explicitly list
CitationMetadatasources.
Python Helper (Concept)
Use visions/core/visions_backend.py to access the raw client if you need to inspect response.candidates[0].logprobs.
