What This Skill Does

Conducts end-to-end research autonomously given a topic or question. Searches for sources, evaluates credibility, cross-references information, and produces structured reports with citations. Covers technology, business, science, and social topics.

Runs the full research loop, from source discovery to report generation, without requiring the user to direct each step.

When to use it

  • Researching competitor positioning before a product launch
  • Gathering sources on AI safety for a technical briefing
  • Analyzing market trends for a business strategy decision
  • Validating claims across conflicting expert opinions
  • Building a literature overview for a new project area
