SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generic web searches return long lists of links with mixed credibility, making it hard to know which claims to trust. This Skill structures external research into a disciplined workflow of question framing, multi-source discovery, source quality scoring, cross-verification, and synthesis so conclusions are backed by evidence rather than search ranking. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Source triage and quality scoring: Labels sources from A (primary/authoritative) to D (low confidence) and prioritizes official docs, papers, and repos over derivative summaries. - Cross-verification and de-duplication: Clusters repeated claims, traces them to primary origins, and marks findings as confirmed, likely, contested, or unverified. - Structured synthesis outputs: Produces bottom-line summaries, evidence tables, source quality tables, timelines, and open-question lists for briefs, due diligence memos, and landscape scans. - Use Case: When evaluating a fast-moving open-source project, use this Skill to combine official docs, GitHub activity, arXiv papers, and expert blogs into a single evidence-backed brief with confidence levels and remaining uncertainties. ## Quick Start Research the current state of vector database benchmarking and produce an evidence-backed brief with source quality ratings and open questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-intelligence

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a topic with high-quality sources instead of a link dump?

Frame the exact question first, then gather candidates from multiple source classes such as official docs, papers, repos, and expert blogs. Score each source from A (primary) to D (low confidence), cross-check key claims against independent sources, and synthesize only from A/B sources.

How to verify claims across multiple sources during research?

Cluster duplicate articles and trace repeated claims back to their earliest primary source. Cross-check central claims against at least two independent sources, then explicitly label each claim as confirmed, likely, contested, or unverified with dates preserved.

What source types should I use for technical or market research?

Use official docs and repos for ground truth, arXiv or Semantic Scholar for methods and evidence, GitHub for adoption and activity, blogs and RSS for expert commentary, and videos or PDFs for talks and reports. Treat social and community posts as low-confidence leads only.

When should I not use a full research synthesis workflow?

Skip it for trivial lookups where one authoritative source answers the question directly, such as checking a single API parameter or current price. The multi-step triage and verification process is designed for questions where correctness and source quality genuinely matter.

Why do many articles about the same claim not count as corroboration?

Copied or derivative articles often trace back to a single origin, so counting them inflates confidence falsely. De-duplication keeps the earliest primary source and requires genuinely independent sources before marking a claim confirmed.
