What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the need for thorough, multi-source research and verifiable synthesis when answering complex questions that require iterative evidence gathering, contradiction handling, and clear confidence judgments. It reduces the risk of unsupported claims and single-source bias by enforcing an iterative draft→critique→targeted-research→refine workflow and structured source scoring.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Iterative Methodology: Produces an initial noisy draft, applies red-team critique, performs targeted web searches with explicit reflection after each search, then refines until quality converges.
- Structured Evidence Handling: Scores sources, tracks contradictions, and documents facts with provenance and confidence ratings for transparent attribution.
- Templates & Quality Controls: Includes research-brief templates, report templates, a quality log with iteration scoring, and stopping/iteration rules for repeatable outputs.
- Interactive Decision Points: Uses explicit user prompts at scope, brief validation, iteration continuation, and contradiction resolution stages to align research trade-offs.
- Use Cases: Due diligence, competitive and technology assessments, state-of-the-art surveys, policy or market research, and comprehensive comparative analyses.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to produce a comprehensive, well-sourced research brief and iterative report on the current state of nuclear fusion, including sources, confidence scores, contradictions, and a three-iteration quality log.
