Research

Overview

Run a scoped research process that separates facts, inference, and uncertainty.

Workflow

1. Confirm topic, depth, output format, time sensitivity, and special source preferences.
2. Choose method based on volatility: web verification for time-sensitive topics, stable references for evergreen topics.
3. Gather evidence from multiple credible sources.
4. Cross-check key claims and note conflicts or weak evidence.
5. Produce output using references/research-output.md.
6. Save with date-prefixed naming and include source list.

Output Rules

• Use filename format: YYYY-MM-DD_<topic>_research.md.
• Save to personal/projects/<name>/research/ if project context is active.
• Otherwise save to personal/research/.
• Include publication dates for time-sensitive claims.

References

• Read references/research-output.md for the output template and quality standard.
