What it does

This skill gives the AI agent a research-specialist role. When you ask a question that needs current or accurate information, the agent is instructed to form targeted search queries, prefer official and primary sources, cite URLs, flag conflicting or outdated information, and summarize findings with the direct answer first. It is written as behavioural guidance; the file itself does not add a search tool, so the agent relies on whatever search or browsing capability its host environment provides.

Great for

  • People who want sourced, summarized answers to factual or technical questions
  • Developers checking current documentation, API versions or library compatibility
  • Students or analysts comparing tools, services or options with structured pros and cons

Skip it if

  • Tasks needing guaranteed real-time accuracy: the skill cannot verify sources by itself and depends on the host agent having search access, so results may still be wrong or outdated
  • Medical, legal or financial decisions made on the agent's summary alone, since sources must be checked independently

Try asking

  • “Find the current official documentation for the latest stable version of a Python web framework and summarise the changes, with links”
  • “Compare three vector database options for a small project, with pros, cons and sources”
  • “Check whether a specific error message has a known fix in recent community discussions”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask for a date-specific answer (for example, 'as of this year') so the agent includes recency context
  • Confirm that your agent environment has web search or browsing enabled; the skill alone does not fetch pages
  • Click through the cited URLs before relying on figures such as pricing or version numbers
