What problem does it solve?
This Skill streamlines conducting reliable web research and evaluating the credibility, currency, and relevance of online sources so you can produce evidence-backed findings rather than unsupported claims.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Search strategy & execution: Plan queries, use operators and date filters, and run targeted searches across official docs, repos, registries, and research platforms.
- Technical research verification: Identify product/library names and versions, check API refs, changelogs, release tags, and issue trackers to validate examples and breaking changes.
- Source evaluation & triangulation: Apply SIFT, lateral reading, and CRAAP to prefer primary sources, triangulate non-trivial claims with at least two independent sources, and record conflicts or uncertainties.
- Use Case: Verify whether a specific library method is deprecated by checking the official docs, changelog, and related issue threads, then summarize findings with dated citations and a short note about confidence.
Quick Start
Research and summarize authoritative sources about the specified technical topic, include dates and at least two primary citations, and list any conflicting information or uncertainties.
