Research Skill

Use this skill when gathering information, fact-checking, or conducting multi-source investigations for content creation.

Overview

This skill provides workflows for thorough research using available web tools, prioritizing accuracy and source diversity.

Research Modes

Quick Research (2-3 minutes)

For simple fact-checking or single-topic lookups:

  • •Use WebSearch for initial query
  • •Verify with 2-3 sources
  • •Summarize findings with source links

Standard Research (5-10 minutes)

For content preparation and topic exploration:

  • •WebSearch for broad context
  • •WebFetch for deep-diving specific sources
  • •Cross-reference multiple perspectives
  • •Document sources for attribution

Deep Research (10+ minutes)

For comprehensive topic coverage:

  • •Multiple search queries from different angles
  • •Primary sources when available
  • •Competing viewpoints and critiques
  • •Historical context and evolution
  • •Expert opinions and data

Research Workflow

1. Define the Question

Before searching:

  • •What specific question needs answering?
  • •What type of source would be most authoritative?
  • •What's the content format this research supports?

2. Execute Search Strategy

code
TOPIC: [Research topic]

PRIMARY QUERIES:
1. [Main search term]
2. [Alternative phrasing]
3. [Related concept]

SOURCE PRIORITIES:
- Official documentation
- Academic/research papers
- Industry expert blogs
- News from reputable outlets

3. Evaluate Sources

For each source, consider:

  • •Authority: Who wrote this? What are their credentials?
  • •Currency: When was this published? Is it still relevant?
  • •Accuracy: Can claims be verified elsewhere?
  • •Purpose: Is this informational, promotional, or opinion?

4. Synthesize Findings

Structure research output as:

code
## Research Summary: [Topic]

### Key Findings
- [Finding 1]
- [Finding 2]
- [Finding 3]

### Supporting Evidence
| Claim | Source | Verification |
|-------|--------|--------------|
| [Claim] | [Source] | [Confirmed/Disputed/Unverified] |

### Conflicting Information
- [Source A] says X, but [Source B] says Y

### Gaps & Limitations
- [What couldn't be verified]
- [What needs further research]

### Sources
1. [Title](URL) - [Brief description]
2. [Title](URL) - [Brief description]

Content-Specific Research

For YouTube Videos

Focus on:

  • •What's the current conversation around this topic?
  • •What have other creators covered? What's missing?
  • •What are the common misconceptions?
  • •What examples/demos would resonate?

For Blog Posts

Focus on:

  • •What's the authoritative technical reference?
  • •What code examples already exist?
  • •What are the common pitfalls and solutions?
  • •What's the historical evolution of this topic?

For Live Streams

Focus on:

  • •What questions does the audience commonly ask?
  • •What are the real-time developments in this space?
  • •What interactive demos would work?
  • •What controversies or debates exist?

Tool Usage

WebSearch

Use for:

  • •Initial topic exploration
  • •Finding recent news and updates
  • •Discovering multiple perspectives

WebFetch

Use for:

  • •Reading full articles
  • •Extracting specific data from pages
  • •Accessing documentation

Best Practices

  • •Always cite sources in final content
  • •Prefer primary sources over summaries
  • •Note the date of information
  • •Acknowledge when information is uncertain
  • •Keep a research log for future reference

Output Integration

Research should feed into:

  • •Video script fact-checking
  • •Blog post citations
  • •Stream preparation notes
  • •Content calendar planning

Always provide:

  1. •Direct quotes with attribution
  2. •Links for further reading
  3. •Confidence level on claims
  4. •Suggestions for follow-up research
