Verified Research

Quick Start

When researching, always fetch and verify actual sources:

# Always do this
WebFetch URL → read content → verify claims → present findings

# Never do this
WebSearch → present snippets without verification

Core Rule

Never present findings without examining actual source content.

Steps:

1. Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or extract tools)
2. Read the complete relevant sections
3. Verify claims match what source actually says
4. Quote specific passages when making claims

Common Pitfalls

❌ Presenting search snippets as facts ❌ Trusting summaries without checking sources ❌ Citing sources you haven't read

When Uncertain

If you can't verify (paywall, 404, contradictions): Say so explicitly. Don't present unverified info as fact.
