.claude/skills/research/# Verified Research ## Quick Start 1. Fetch actual source content (don't trust snippets) 2. Verify claims before presenting 3. Report failures explicitly ## Tool Priority 1. **GitHub repos** → `gh api` via Bash 2. **Doc pages** → `tavily_extract_process` 3. **Quick answers** → `ai_search` (perplexity/kagi_fastgpt/exa_answer) 4. **Discovery** → `web_search` or `github_search` 5. **Fallback** → Clone repo via subagent ## Core Rules - **Never present unverified findings** - fetch actual content first - **Partial data ≠ success** - try next tool, report failures - **No source substitution** without user consent - **Flag contradictions** - don't silently pick one source ## References - [verification-patterns.md](references/verification-patterns.md) - Source conflicts, cutoff handling - [ai-search-providers.md](references/ai-search-providers.md) - exa_answer, perplexity, kagi usage - [hallucination-prevention.md](references/hallucination-prevention.md) - CoVe, atomic facts - [repo-cloning-pattern.md](references/repo-cloning-pattern.md) - Subagent clone workflow - [partial-data-failures.md](references/partial-data-failures.md) - Rate limits, fallbacks
