SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Answering research questions with AI often produces uncited, unverified claims. This Skill runs a structured pipeline that decomposes a question, searches the live web, distills sources into claims, verifies each claim against its evidence, and synthesizes a brief where every assertion is backed by a citation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Question Decomposition and Search Planning: Breaks a research question into sub-questions, concrete search queries, and a freshness classification (breaking, recent, or stable). - Per-Claim Verification: Fans out isolated subagents to distill each source into citable claims and verify every claim against supplied evidence with supported, refuted, or unverified verdicts. - Cited Brief Synthesis: Produces a final markdown brief that asserts only supported claims, flags refuted ones as corrected misconceptions, and lists gaps for anything unverified. - Use Case: Ask when the EU AI Act's obligations for general-purpose AI models began applying, and receive a dated, cited answer (2 August 2025) with source URLs and an overall confidence score. ## Quick Start Use the research-orchestration skill to answer the question "When did the EU AI Act's obligations for general-purpose AI models begin applying?" with verified, cited sources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a cited, verified answer to a research question with AI?▼

Run the research-orchestration procedure: it decomposes your question into search queries, retrieves web sources, distills each source into claims, verifies every claim against its evidence, and synthesizes a brief that asserts only supported claims with inline citation URLs.

How does claim verification work in this research pipeline?▼

Each claim is checked by an isolated subagent against supplied evidence excerpts only, returning a verdict of supported, refuted, or unverified plus confidence, corroboration count, and citing URLs. Outside knowledge is explicitly disallowed during verification.

Can I run the whole research pipeline in a single context?▼

Only if the skill is single-model and the working set fits one context. This skill names different models per step (opus for plan, search, distillates, brief; sonnet for verdicts), so the canonical execution dispatches one subagent per step to honor per-step model directives.

What output does the research-orchestration skill produce?▼

The final artifact is brief.json containing report_markdown (a concise cited answer), a de-duplicated citations list, an overall confidence score from 0 to 1, and a gaps field listing anything unanswered or unverified.

What are the limitations of automated web research pipelines?▼

Results depend on what the search step actually retrieves, so paywalled or unindexed sources may be missed. Claims with absent or insufficient evidence are marked unverified rather than answered, and the pipeline cannot guarantee coverage of every sub-question.
