Frequently Asked Questions about research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct deep investigation and fact-checking using SIFT methodology?▼

SIFT-based research applies Stop, Investigate, Find Better Coverage, and Trace to Original techniques to evaluate sources, orchestrate parallel subagent searches, and synthesize comprehensive results for fact-checking and deep investigation.

What is the best way to manage parallel searches for complex research questions?▼

Orchestrating subagents for parallel searches handles complex research questions by scoping, classifying, and evaluating multiple queries simultaneously. This approach produces dated research folders containing search results and detailed synthesis.

Can I use brave-search with subagents for source evaluation?▼

Yes, brave-search integrates with subagent orchestration to conduct source evaluation. Subagents execute parallel searches while the SIFT methodology ensures rigorous evaluation and tracing of information back to original sources.

How do I structure research outputs like an annotated source list or argument map?▼

Output templates provide structured formats for research synthesis including Structured Briefing, Annotated Source List, Argument Map, and Comparison Matrix. These templates organize evaluated search results into comprehensive dated research folders.

Does subagent orchestration work for academic research requiring in-depth analysis?▼

Subagent orchestration supports academic research by executing parallel searches and in-depth analysis. The SIFT-based approach ensures rigorous source evaluation, making it ideal for complex tasks requiring detailed information synthesis.
