Deep Research Conversation

This skill allows OpenClaw agents to conduct in-depth research discussions with users on a given topic. The API Key is automatically loaded from the OpenClaw config — no manual setup is needed.

API Table

name	path	description
DeepresearchConversation	/v2/agent/deepresearch/run	Multi-round streaming deep research conversation (via Python script)
ConversationCreate	/v2/agent/deepresearch/create	Create a new conversation session, returns conversation_id
FileUpload	/v2/agent/file/upload	Upload a file for the conversation
FileParseSubmit	/v2/agent/file/parse/submit	Submit an uploaded file for parsing
FileParseQuery	/v2/agent/file/parse/query	Query the status of a file parsing task

Workflow

Path A: Topic discussion without files

1. Call DeepresearchConversation directly with the user's query. A new conversation is created automatically.

Path B: Topic discussion with files

1. Call ConversationCreate to get a conversation_id.
2. Call FileUpload with the conversation_id to upload files.
3. Call FileParseSubmit with the returned file_id.
4. Poll FileParseQuery every few seconds until parsing succeeds.
5. Call DeepresearchConversation with the query, conversation_id, and file_ids.

Multi-round conversation rules

• The DeepresearchConversation API is a SSE streaming interface that returns data incrementally.
• After the first call, you must pass conversation_id in all subsequent calls.
• If the response contains an interrupt_id (for "demand clarification" or "outline confirmation"), the next call must include that interrupt_id.
• If the response contains a structured_outline, present it to the user for confirmation/modification, then pass the final outline in the next call.
• Keep calling DeepresearchConversation iteratively until the user is satisfied with the result.

  -H "X-Appbuilder-From: openclaw"

DeepresearchConversation API

Parameters

• query: The user's question or research topic (required)
• conversation_id: Optional on first call (auto-generated). Required on subsequent calls.
• file_ids: List of parsed file IDs (optional, only when discussing files)
• interrupt_id: Required when responding to "demand clarification" or "outline confirmation" from previous round. Found in content.text.data of the previous SSE response.
• structured_outline: The research report outline. Required on subsequent calls if the previous round generated one. Structure:

{
    "title": "string",
    "locale": "string",
    "description": "string",
    "sub_chapters": [
        {
            "title": "string",
            "locale": "string",
            "description": "string",
            "sub_chapters": []
        }
    ]
}

• version: "Lite" (faster, within 10 min) or "Standard" (deeper, slower). Default: "Standard".

Execute shell

python3 scripts/deepresearch_conversation.py '{"query": "your question here", "version": "Standard"}'

Example with all parameters

python3 scripts/deepresearch_conversation.py '{"query": "the question", "file_ids": ["file_id_1"], "interrupt_id": "interrupt_id", "conversation_id": "conversation_id", "structured_outline": {"title": "Report Title", "locale": "zh", "description": "desc", "sub_chapters": [{"title": "Chapter 1", "locale": "zh", "description": "chapter desc", "sub_chapters": []}]}, "version": "Standard"}'
