description: Perform targeted web research by defining the question, prioritizing primary sources, capturing evidence in a table, and producing a cited, decision-oriented summary.

Perform Web Research

Purpose

Produce high-signal research outputs that are actionable and evidence-backed, without over-relying on low-quality sources.

When to use

Use this skill when:

  • •You need up-to-date information (APIs, specs, releases, regulations)
  • •You must compare options (libraries, services, standards)
  • •You need citations for a technical or product decision
  • •You suspect prior knowledge may be outdated

Inputs

  • •Research question(s) and decision context
  • •Constraints (time, allowed sources, required recency)
  • •Definitions of success (what the output must enable)

Outputs

  • •A cited summary answering the question
  • •An evidence table mapping key claims to sources
  • •A short list of recommended actions or options (if applicable)
  • •A log of key sources and why they were trusted

Source selection rules

  • •Prefer primary sources:
    • •official documentation
    • •standards bodies
    • •release notes / changelogs
    • •peer-reviewed papers (when applicable)
  • •Use reputable secondary sources only when needed to interpret or compare primary sources.
  • •Treat low-quality sources as last resort and label them clearly.
  • •Prefer sources that are current enough for the decision and specific to the claim.

Steps

  1. •Write a short research brief (question, why it matters, recency requirements).
  2. •Identify 3-5 primary sources as anchors.
  3. •Add secondary sources only as needed for interpretation.
  4. •Extract facts and constraints:
    • •capture the version/date context
    • •record only the minimal supporting excerpt
  5. •Populate an evidence table (claim -> source -> why trust -> notes).
  6. •Produce the decision-oriented summary:
    • •answer the question directly
    • •list tradeoffs and risks
    • •propose next actions
  7. •Sanity check:
    • •citations support the key claims
    • •uncertainties and conflicts are called out explicitly

Verification

  • • Primary sources back the most important claims
  • • Evidence table exists and supports the summary
  • • Dates/versions are included where they matter
  • • Claims are cited and not overstated
  • • Output includes actionable next steps (if a decision is implied)

Boundaries

  • •MUST NOT fabricate sources or citations
  • •MUST NOT rely solely on low-quality sources for critical claims
  • •MUST NOT present speculation as fact
  • •MUST NOT omit dates/versions when they materially affect correctness
  • •SHOULD prefer official docs/standards/release notes over blogs
  • •SHOULD call out uncertainty and conflicting sources explicitly

Included assets

  • •Templates:
    • •./templates/research-brief.md
    • •./templates/evidence-table.md
  • •Examples: ./examples/ includes a sample research output format.
