# How to Research Best Practices with Claude

Claude makes deep research a hands-on exploration from your terminal where you drive the investigation in real time. Start with a broad question, review the initial findings, and progressively narrow your inquiry by asking follow-up questions that dig into the most promising threads. The session-based workflow keeps your entire research trail in one place, making it easy to trace how you arrived at your conclusions and revisit earlier findings when later discoveries change the picture.
