tavily-research

@tavily-ai Updated 2026-09-04

Conduct comprehensive AI-powered research with citations via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill when the user wants deep research, a detailed report, a comparison, market analysis, literature review, or says "research", "investigate", "analyze in depth", "compare X vs Y", "what does the market look like for", or needs multi-source synthesis with explicit citations. Returns a structured report grounded in web sources. Takes 30-120 seconds. For quick fact-finding, use tavily-search instead.

Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "tavily-ai/skills:tavily-research" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Manual command

git clone https://github.com/tavily-ai/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/tavily-research ~/.claude/skills/tavily-research

From README

tavily research AI-powered deep research that gathers sources, analyzes them, and produces a cited report. Takes 30-120 seconds. Before running Research requires authentication. Run the requested command directly when tvly is already authenticated; do not add a status check to every invocation. If tvly is missing, follow the tavily-cli . If an installed CLI reports an authentication error, use tvly login for authentication only, or tvly init --skip-skills when guided verification is also useful. Browser-based OAuth is preferred when an interactive user can complete it. --no-browser prints the sign-in link instead of opening it, but still waits for a localhost callback. In an unattended agent or CI environment, leave authentication to the user or use a securely provided TAVILYAPIKEY. Do not start a second login immediately after guided has completed.
