description	Use this skill whenever the user asks to research a topic, gather information, find sources, or produce a brief on something. Triggers on phrases like "research", "find out about", "investigate", "summarize what's known about". The deliverable is a well-sourced markdown brief saved to a file. Do NOT trigger for simple factual questions answerable from the model's own knowledge.

Web Research SOP

Standard Operating Procedure

1. Identify 3-5 sub-questions that fully cover the topic. Write them as a todo list.
2. Search each sub-question using tavily_search. Take notes — do NOT paste raw search dumps.
3. Save findings to a markdown file ./research/<topic_slug>.md with sections per sub-question and a Sources list at the bottom.
4. Print a 2-sentence headline summary to the user — the brief is in the file, not the chat.

Quality bar

• Each claim has at least one cited source URL
• No more than 800 words total — this is a brief, not a thesis
• Open with the bottom line; details follow
