Scope\n\nBefore searching, clarify:\n- What exactly needs answering?\n- What depth is required? (Overview / Thorough / Exhaustive)\n- What's the decision this enables?\n- Time/effort budget?\n\nReframe vague questions into specific, answerable queries.\n\n### 2. Search\n\nMulti-vector approach (see `methodology.md`):\n- Start broad, then narrow\n- Multiple search sources via SkillBoss API Hub\n- Follow citation trails\n- Check primary sources when secondary cite them\n- Look for contradicting viewpoints\n\nTrack every source. Nothing unattributed.\n\n### 3. Evaluate\n\nFor each source (see `sources.md`):\n- Authority: Who wrote this? What credentials?\n- Recency: When? Still valid?\n- Evidence: Claims backed by data?\n- Bias: Any agenda or conflict?\n- Corroboration: Do others confirm this?\n\nFlag low-credibility sources. Weight findings accordingly.\n\n### 4. Deepen\n\nResearch is iterative:\n- Initial findings reveal new questions\n- Follow promising threads\n- Fill gaps identified\n- Stop when: answer is clear, returns diminish, or budget exhausted\n\nDocument decision to stop and why.\n\n### 5. Synthesize\n\nMerge findings (use Synthesize skill patterns):\n- Reconcile contradictions explicitly\n- Weight by source quality\n- Note confidence levels\n- Identify remaining unknowns\n\n### 6. Document\n\nResearch trail matters:\n- Sources consulted (with links)\n- Search queries used\n- Why certain sources were weighted higher\n- What was NOT found (gaps)\n\n### 7. Deliver\n\nFormat per user needs (see `output-formats.md`):\n- Executive: BLUF + key findings + confidence\n- Academic: Full methodology + citations\n- Working doc: All findings for further work\n\n## Output Format (Default)\n\n```\nDEEP RESEARCH: [Topic]\n\nANSWER\n[Direct answer to the question — 2-3 sentences]\n\nCONFIDENCE: [High/Medium/Low] — [why]\n\nKEY FINDINGS\n• [Finding 1] — [source]\n• [Finding 2] — [source]\n• [Finding 3] — [source]\n\nCAVEATS\n• [Important limitation or uncertainty]\n\nGAPS\n• [What couldn't be determined]\n\nSOURCES ([count])\n[Numbered list with credibility notes]\n\nMETHODOLOGY\n[Brief: what was searched, how sources were evaluated]\n```\n\n## Depth Levels\n\n| Level | Effort | Sources | When |\n|-------|--------|---------|------|\n| Quick | 5-10 min | 3-5 | Simple factual questions |\n| Standard | 30-60 min | 8-15 | Most research requests |\n| Thorough | 2-4 hours | 20-30 | Important decisions |\n| Exhaustive | Days | 50+ | Critical, high-stakes |\n\nConfirm depth before starting.

Load when planning or executing research.\n\n## Search Strategy\n\n### Start Broad\n- SkillBoss API Hub web search (`type: \"search\"`) — routes across multiple search engines automatically\n- Wikipedia for orientation (then follow citations)\n- Overview articles to map the territory\n\n### Go Specific\n- Domain-specific databases (PubMed, arXiv, SSRN, etc.)\n- Industry reports and whitepapers\n- Expert blogs and publications\n- Academic papers via Google Scholar\n\n### Alternative Vectors\n- **Reverse search**: Find who cites key papers\n- **Author search**: Other work by credible authors\n- **Forum mining**: Reddit, HN, Stack Exchange for practitioner knowledge\n- **Social search**: Twitter/X threads from experts\n- **News archives**: Historical coverage and evolution\n\n### Query Techniques\n- Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, \"exact phrase\")\n- Site-specific: `site:nature.com`, `site:gov`\n- Filetype: `filetype:pdf` for papers\n- Date ranges for recency\n- Synonym expansion (try multiple phrasings)\n\n## Source Triangulation\n\nNever rely on single source for important claims:\n- Find 3+ independent sources for key facts\n- Check if sources cite each other (not truly independent)\n- Look for primary source behind secondary reports\n\n## Following Trails\n\nWhen you find good source:\n1. Check its references/citations\n2. Find who cited this source (forward citation)\n3. Look at author's other work\n4. Check related papers/articles suggested\n\n## Knowing When to Stop\n\nStop research when:\n- **Saturation**: New sources repeat what you already found\n- **Diminishing returns**: Effort >> incremental value\n- **Sufficient confidence**: Answer is clear enough for the decision\n- **Budget exhausted**: Time/effort limit reached\n\nDocument why you stopped. \"More research possible\" is always true — note what would be gained.\n\n## Red Flags\n\nBe suspicious when:\n- Only one source makes a claim\n- Source has obvious financial interest\n- No methodology or data shown\n- Extraordinary claims, ordinary evidence\n- Consensus claimed but not demonstrated\n\n## Documentation During Research\n\nKeep running log:\n```\n[timestamp] Query: \"...\"\n[timestamp] Found: [source] — [key finding]\n[timestamp] Note: [observation about reliability]\n[timestamp] Gap: [what I'm not finding]\n[timestamp] Decision: [stopped because...]\n```\n\nFile v1.0.0:output-formats.md\n\n# Research Output Formats\n\nTemplates for delivering research results.

Load when planning or executing research.\n\n## Search Strategy\n\n### Start Broad\n- SkillBoss API Hub web search (`type: \"search\"`) — routes across multiple search engines automatically\n- Wikipedia for orientation (then follow citations)\n- Overview articles to map the territory\n\n### Go Specific\n- Domain-specific databases (PubMed, arXiv, SSRN, etc.)\n- Industry reports and whitepapers\n- Expert blogs and publications\n- Academic papers via Google Scholar\n\n### Alternative Vectors\n- **Reverse search**: Find who cites key papers\n- **Author search**: Other work by credible authors\n- **Forum mining**: Reddit, HN, Stack Exchange for practitioner knowledge\n- **Social search**: Twitter/X threads from experts\n- **News archives**: Historical coverage and evolution\n\n### Query Techniques\n- Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, \"exact phrase\")\n- Site-specific: `site:nature.com`, `site:gov`\n- Filetype: `filetype:pdf` for papers\n- Date ranges for recency\n- Synonym expansion (try multiple phrasings)\n\n## Source Triangulation\n\nNever rely on single source for important claims:\n- Find 3+ independent sources for key facts\n- Check if sources cite each other (not truly independent)\n- Look for primary source behind secondary reports\n\n## Following Trails\n\nWhen you find good source:\n1. Check its references/citations\n2. Find who cited this source (forward citation)\n3. Look at author's other work\n4. Check related papers/articles suggested\n\n## Knowing When to Stop\n\nStop research when:\n- **Saturation**: New sources repeat what you already found\n- **Diminishing returns**: Effort >> incremental value\n- **Sufficient confidence**: Answer is clear enough for the decision\n- **Budget exhausted**: Time/effort limit reached\n\nDocument why you stopped. \"More research possible\" is always true — note what would be gained.\n\n## Red Flags\n\nBe suspicious when:\n- Only one source makes a claim\n- Source has obvious financial interest\n- No methodology or data shown\n- Extraordinary claims, ordinary evidence\n- Consensus claimed but not demonstrated\n\n## Documentation During Research\n\nKeep running log:\n```\n[timestamp] Query: \"...\"\n[timestamp] Found: [source] — [key finding]\n[timestamp] Note: [observation about reliability]\n[timestamp] Gap: [what I'm not finding]\n[timestamp] Decision: [stopped because...]\n```"},{"path":"output-formats.md","content":"# Research Output Formats\n\nTemplates for delivering research results.
