Our review
Researches topics by fetching and verifying actual source content instead of relying on search snippets.
Strengths
- Ensures accuracy by verifying original sources.
- Prevents misinformation by directly quoting content.
- Provides textual evidence to support claims.
- Builds trust through rigorous verification.
Limitations
- Relies on source availability (paywalls, 404 errors).
- Can be slower than using summaries or snippets.
- Requires agent ability to fetch and parse content.
When you need reliable, verifiable information from original sources.
When speed is critical and high accuracy is not needed, or when sources are inaccessible.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill includes Bash among its allowed tools, which is powerful but used for legitimate purposes (e.g., cloning repositories). No destructive or exfiltrating instructions are present, but the capability itself warrants caution.
- •Allowed tool 'Bash' enables execution of arbitrary shell commands. While the skill's intent is legitimate research, Bash could be leveraged for risky operations if misused.
Examples
Research the claim that 'AI will replace all jobs by 2030' by fetching and reading the original source article.Verify that the Python documentation says list.sort() is stable by fetching the official docs.Research two different sources on the same topic and compare their claims by reading the full content.name: research

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:
- Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or extract tools)
- Read the complete relevant sections
- Verify claims match what source actually says
- 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.
