What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents duplicated research effort and unreliable source selection by creating a curated, verified, and uniquely assigned source manifest for parallel deep research workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Source Curation & Validation: Gather candidate sources, evaluate relevance and authority using structured SIFT-based checks, and preserve audit trails for rejected or uncertain sources.
- Deduplication & Ownership Assignment: Canonicalize URLs, identify true duplicates conservatively, and assign every surviving source to exactly one research owner or agent bucket.
- Use Case: When preparing a multi-agent research project, use this Skill to organize scattered references into a source-manifest.md file where each researcher receives a distinct set of trusted sources without overlap.
Quick Start
Use the research-source-planner skill to build a deduplicated source manifest for my upcoming multi-agent research question about AI coding assistants.
