research

Ask the research skill to investigate your topic and it will run parallel searches across industry publications, academic sources, and recent news. The output includes key findings with source and date for each claim, plus a full source list with URLs and access dates.

The skill produces a standard structure: scope statement, numbered key findings with sources, a short analysis connecting findings to your organization's goals, recommendations, and a dated source list. You specify the audience during scoping so depth matches the reader.

Yes. During the scoping step you can specify sources to prioritize or avoid, the required depth from quick scan to deep dive, and the intended audience. The search strategy then covers trade media, academic sources, competitor activity, and recent news accordingly.

Yes. The guidelines require citing sources for all factual claims, explicitly distinguishing confirmed findings from inferences, flagging conflicting information across sources, and noting data recency so outdated statistics do not mislead.

Results depend on what is publicly available and searchable at the time of the query, so paywalled or very recent developments may be missed. The skill mitigates this by dating every source and flagging stale data, but critical claims should still be verified against primary sources.
