To ensure agents check official documentation before coding, this Skill mandates the RRV pattern: agents must search sources, reason claims, and verify evidence before implementing features or debugging failures.

The RRV pattern for evidence-based development is a Search, Reason, and Verify workflow that mandates gathering sources, reasoning claims, and verifying with evidence before producing code changes.

To stop AI from using outdated library versions, this Skill enforces verifying installed package versions and official docs before implementing new features or integrations.

An agent should research external sources instead of relying on its own knowledge when verification fails, following the one-retry rule: use internal knowledge once, then research externally before retrying.

Yes, the external research mandate applies to both new feature development and bug fixes, requiring agents to confirm APIs, docs, and resource availability before implementing changes.
