- description
- Deep research skill using MiniMax CLI (mmx). Activates when: (1) Arif asks to research, investigate, look up, find information, or deep-dive on a topic; (2) a question requires synthesis from multiple sources; (3) Arif needs structured output (JSON, tables, summaries); (4) any knowledge task that benefits from web search + synthesis. Uses mmx search + mmx text chat. NOT for simple factual lookups (use web_search tool directly).

MMX Text Researcher — Deep Research via MiniMax CLI
Use this skill when a question requires investigation, synthesis, multi-source reasoning, or structured output.
Prerequisites
mmxCLI must be authenticated:mmx auth status- If not authenticated:
mmx auth login --api-key <key> - Check region:
mmx config show(global vs CN)
Core Research Loop
1. SEARCH → mmx search "<query>" [--output json]
2. SYNTH → mmx text chat --model MiniMax-Text-01 --message "Summarize from: <results>"
3. STRUCT → mmx text chat --output json --message "Extract key facts as JSON"
4. VERIFY → mmx search "<specific claim>" to cross-check
5. COMPILE → Final synthesis in requested formatCommands Reference
Web Search (structured JSON output)
mmx search "MiniMax AI latest developments"
mmx search query --q "specific fact to verify" --output jsonDeep Research Chat (MiniMax-Text-01 best for synthesis)
mmx text chat --model MiniMax-Text-01 --message "Research brief: <topic>. Provide structured output with: key findings, confidence level per finding, sources, and remaining unknowns."Streaming Research (for long investigations)
mmx text chat --model MiniMax-Text-01 --message "<research query>" --streamMulti-turn Research Thread
mmx text chat --message "I want to research X. Start by identifying the 5 most important sub-questions."
mmx text chat --message "Now investigate sub-question 1: <question>"
# ... continue threadingStructured Output (JSON)
mmx text chat --model MiniMax-Text-01 --output json --message "Extract into JSON: { topic, findings: [{ claim, confidence, source }], gaps: [], next_steps: [] }"Fact Verification Loop
For claims made in previous research:
mmx search "specific claim to verify"
mmx text chat --message "Based on search results: does this support or refute the claim: <claim>? Cite sources."Output Format Options
Specify format in the prompt:
JSON— structured machine-readable outputtable— tabular comparison or summarybrief— executive summary (3-5 bullet points)full— comprehensive research reportverdict— true/false/uncertain with reasoning
Quality Checklist
- [ ] At least 2 independent sources per key claim
- [ ] Confidence level assigned per finding
- [ ] Unknowns/gaps explicitly stated
- [ ] Sources cited (URL or source name)
- [ ] Opposing views included if relevant
Common Triggers
- "research X for me"
- "investigate this claim"
- "find information about"
- "deep dive into"
- "what is the current state of"
- "synthesize what we know about"
- "verify whether"
- "compare X vs Y"
