SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables iterative web research to transform vague prompts into evidence-backed answers by clarifying goals, performing broad initial scans, proposing directions, and conducting multiple deep-dive rounds that incorporate user feedback. It prioritizes fetching and reading original sources (not just search snippets) and uses pdf-to-text tools to extract PDFs when needed. Use cases include researching topics, collecting sources, locating papers/docs/forums, tracking latest developments, comparing approaches, gathering community discussions, and fact-checking claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iterative research workflow: clarify prompts, perform broad scans, propose directions, and run multi-round deep-dives to gather comprehensive evidence.
  • Source fidelity and extraction: fetch/original sources, extract PDFs via pdftotext/pdftotxt when required, and preserve provenance.
  • Synthesis & decision support: surface trade-offs, uncertainties, and next steps to inform decisions or further research.

Quick Start

Provide a prompt and I will clarify it, run an iterative multi-round search, and deliver an evidence-backed synthesis with sources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find credible sources and extract evidence from PDFs for research?

To extract evidence from PDFs for research, this skill fetches original sources and uses pdf-to-text tools to read documents, ensuring your synthesis is backed by full texts rather than just search snippets.

What is the best way to fact-check claims using iterative web research?

The best way to fact-check claims using iterative web research is performing multi-round scans that evaluate original sources. This process clarifies the prompt, proposes directions, and deep-dives to verify information accuracy.

How do I collect papers and forum discussions for an evidence-backed synthesis?

You collect papers and forum discussions by running broad initial scans followed by targeted deep-dive rounds. This iterative web research preserves source provenance and surfaces trade-offs for your final synthesis.

Can I use this research workflow to track latest developments and compare approaches?

Yes, you can use this research workflow to track latest developments and compare approaches. It conducts multi-round scans to gather community discussions and evidence, informing decisions and identifying next steps.

Does this iterative research tool require any specific dependencies or setup?

No external dependencies are required. The iterative research tool operates using local scripts and frontmatter-defined guidance to execute reproducible workflow steps and extract data from original sources.

When should I not use an automated iterative web research approach?

You should not use automated iterative web research when you need a single direct answer without source provenance, as this workflow is designed for multi-round scans, evidence extraction, and comprehensive synthesis rather than quick lookups.
