What problem does it solve? Research answers often overstate what the evidence supports, hide source conflicts, or rely on stale information. This Skill enforces a disciplined retrieval-to-synthesis workflow so answers stay grounded in verifiable sources with explicit limitations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Target Discipline: Defines exactly what claim needs support before retrieving, then slices evidence aggressively to keep only load-bearing passages. - Source Ranking & Conflict Handling: Ranks sources by authority, freshness, and scope fit, and surfaces unresolved conflicts instead of silently averaging incompatible facts. - Bounded Deep Research: Runs multi-round research loops with explicit stop conditions, plan approval checkpoints, and research control packets for handoff-sensitive work. - Use Case: Ask for a comparison of current API features across vendors; the Skill retrieves official documentation first, checks freshness, cites load-bearing claims, and flags anything that remains unverified. ## Quick Start Use the grounded-research skill to investigate the latest official documentation on this API change and produce an evidence-backed summary with citations and stated limitations.
