SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps agents turn open-ended questions into reliable, source-attributed research summaries instead of scattered links or unverified claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured search strategy: Breaks a research question into sub-queries, searches each independently, and combines results.
  • Content extraction with freshness checks: Extracts key facts, quotes, and data points while recording publication dates for recency.
  • Synthesis with explicit source attribution: Produces a clear output format with per-finding relevance and flags conflicting information.

Use it when you need an evidence-backed overview for product decisions, technical planning, policy reviews, or any scenario where accuracy and citations matter.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run the web-research pattern to research "cortextOS multi-agent orchestration 2026" and return findings with sources, dates, and a brief synthesized conclusion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get source-attributed research summaries instead of scattered links?

Source-attributed research summaries are generated by searching web content, extracting relevant information, cross-referencing claims across multiple sources, and outputting findings in a consistent template with conflict flagging.

What is the best way to fact check and synthesize online information for technical planning?

Fact checking and synthesizing online information is best handled through a structured search strategy that breaks questions into sub-queries, searches each independently, records URLs and publication dates, and cross-references claims across multiple sources to flag conflicts.

How do I run multi-step web investigations with conflict flagging for comparative analyses?

Multi-step web investigations with conflict flagging require breaking research questions into sub-queries, extracting content with freshness checks, and synthesizing findings while explicitly flagging conflicting information across sources in a consistent output template.

Can I use automated web research for overnight agent research workflows?

Automated web research supports overnight agent research workflows by converting open-ended questions into reliable, source-attributed summaries through structured search, content extraction with publication dates, and synthesized conclusions with explicit source attribution.

Does source attribution and recency checking work for policy reviews and product decisions?

Source attribution and recency checking work for policy reviews and product decisions by recording publication dates during content extraction, cross-referencing claims across multiple sources, and producing evidence-backed overviews with explicit per-finding relevance.

What are the limitations of web research when verifying claims across multiple sources?

Limitations of web research include dependency on search and fetch capabilities to retrieve web content, requiring multiple independent sources to cross-reference claims, and the need to manually review flagged conflicts within the synthesized output template.
