What problem does it solve?

briesearch prevents speculative answers by gathering evidence from the web, library docs, local code patterns, and GitHub examples, then synthesizing it into a decision-support report with explicit confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-first technical research: Collects and compares information across external documentation, current web facts, local repository precedent, and GitHub examples.
  • Confidence- and claim-oriented synthesis: Produces a claim-level evidence table, confidence caps, and open questions when sources disagree.
  • Context isolation for heavy fetches: Keeps large raw source bodies off the main context window by writing them to a durable corpus.
  • Escalation support for parent workflows: Used by /cheese escalation to fill missing external context when clarity checks fail.

Quick Start

Use briesearch to research “how to implement reliable retry-with-backoff for this specific library” and request a sourced summary with confidence and citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather sourced evidence for technical implementation decisions?

To gather sourced evidence for technical implementation decisions, research across library documentation, current web facts, local codebase precedent, and GitHub examples. Synthesis produces a decision-support report with claim-level citations and explicit confidence grading.

What is evidence synthesis with confidence grading for API behavior validation?

Evidence synthesis with confidence grading validates API behavior by cross-referencing external documentation and local repository patterns. It generates a claim-level evidence table, applies confidence caps, and highlights open questions when sources disagree.

How do I research library documentation without filling my context window with raw source bodies?

Research library documentation without filling your context window by using context isolation. Large raw source bodies are written to a durable corpus, keeping the main context clear while synthesizing technical facts.

Can I compare GitHub examples and local codebase precedent for maintenance checks?

Yes, you can compare GitHub examples and local codebase precedent for maintenance checks. The research process cross-references current web facts against local repository patterns to validate workflows and identify discrepancies.

Does evidence synthesis handle untrusted external content safely during web sourcing?

Yes, evidence synthesis handles untrusted external content safely during web sourcing. The process mandates safe handling of external content, preventing speculative answers by isolating raw fetches into a durable corpus before evaluating claims.

What is the best way to research technical comparisons before implementation?

The best way to research technical comparisons before implementation is using a plan-then-route approach. It gathers evidence from library docs and GitHub examples, then synthesizes sourced summaries with citations and explicit confidence caps.
