SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables rigorous, investigative-grade research by gathering primary-source documents, cross-verifying facts across multiple sources, and compiling transparent evidence trails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Primary-source reading & quotes: Reads full documents and extracts verbatim quotes with page numbers.
  • Triple-source verification: Requires 3+ independent sources to confirm key facts and produces verification matrices.
  • Evidence chains & methodology: Builds evidence chains linking sources and documents methodology for reproducibility.
  • Documentation for album research: Produces RESEARCH.md with findings and SOURCES.md with full citations; suitable for album concept verification, documentary projects.
  • Anticipate challenges: Flags discrepancies and gaps for review and cross-examination prep.

Quick Start

Example command: research 'Investigate topic X' to initiate primary-source collection and verification workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify factual claims using primary sources and evidence chains?

To verify factual claims using primary sources, the Skill reads full documents, extracts verbatim quotes with page numbers, and cross-verifies facts across 3+ independent sources. It then builds transparent evidence chains and outputs a consolidated research file with precise citations.

What is triple-source verification and when do I need it for research?

Triple-source verification requires confirming key facts across three or more independent primary sources to ensure investigative-grade accuracy. You need this process for album concept development, documentary projects, or any research requiring authenticated source material and documented methodology.

How do I document research methodology and generate citations with page numbers?

You document research methodology by enforcing mandatory primary-source reading and building evidence trails linking sources to claims. This Skill automatically generates a RESEARCH.md file with findings and a SOURCES.md file containing complete citations and precise page numbers.

Can I use this investigative research workflow for album concept development?

Yes, you can use this workflow for album concept development and documentary projects. It applies primary-source collection, triple-verification, and documented methodology to authenticate source material and produce verbatim quotes with evidence chains.

What is the best way to flag discrepancies and gaps during fact-checking?

The best way to flag discrepancies during fact-checking is to cross-examine multiple independent sources and map them against a verification matrix. This Skill automatically identifies conflicting information and flags gaps for review during the research process.

Do I need specific tools or dependencies to start primary-source collection?

No specific tools or dependencies are required to start primary-source collection. You can initiate the workflow directly to gather documents, extract verbatim quotes, enforce triple-verification, and compile consolidated research outputs with full citations.
