SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users bridge knowledge gaps by retrieving, validating, and summarizing external information from the web, enabling informed decisions without manual literature hunts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Web search and fetch: Perform breadth-web searching and targeted deep fetches to gather diverse perspectives.
  • Structured research reports: Produce citable markdown reports stored under .agentheim/knowledge/research/ for reference by tasks, ADRs, and modeling sessions.
  • Review gate integration: Route outputs through a fresh-context reviewer to verify claims against primary sources before citability.
  • Use Case: When a user needs up-to-date background on a topic (e.g., a technology's state-of-the-art), run research to generate a verified report you can cite in planning.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather up-to-date web information and verify claims for project planning?

To gather up-to-date web information and verify claims, this Skill orchestrates web searches and targeted deep fetches to retrieve diverse perspectives. It summarizes external information into structured markdown reports, ensuring you have verified background data for project planning and informed decisions.

What is the process for source tracking when summarizing external information?

Source tracking during information gathering is managed by routing outputs through a fresh-context review gate. This reviewer verifies claims against primary sources before the research becomes citable, ensuring the structured markdown report is accurate and reliable for reference.

How do I generate a citable research report from a web search?

You generate a citable research report by asking the Skill to gather external information on a topic. It uses breadth-web searching and targeted fetches, then outputs a structured markdown report to the .agentheim/knowledge/research directory for reference by tasks and ADRs.

Does this web search and reporting tool require any dependencies or setup?

No dependencies are required for setup. The Skill operates by orchestrating a researcher agent that performs WebSearch and WebFetch operations natively, automatically storing the resulting markdown research reports in the .agentheim/knowledge/research directory.

When should I use an automated research report instead of manual web search?

Use automated research reporting when brainstorming, planning projects, or verifying claims with up-to-date sources. It bridges knowledge gaps without manual literature hunts by retrieving, validating, and summarizing external information into a citable markdown format.
