SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps agents turn open-ended questions into reliable, source-attributed research summaries instead of scattered links or unverified claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured search strategy: Breaks a research question into sub-queries, searches each independently, and combines results.
  • Content extraction with freshness checks: Extracts key facts, quotes, and data points while recording publication dates for recency.
  • Synthesis with explicit source attribution: Produces a clear output format with per-finding relevance and flags conflicting information.

Use it when you need an evidence-backed overview for product decisions, technical planning, policy reviews, or any scenario where accuracy and citations matter.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run the web-research pattern to research "cortextOS multi-agent orchestration 2026" and return findings with sources, dates, and a brief synthesized conclusion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get source-attributed research summaries instead of scattered links?▼

Source-attributed research summaries are generated by searching web content, extracting relevant information, cross-referencing claims across multiple sources, and outputting findings in a consistent template with conflict flagging.

What is the best way to fact check and synthesize online information for technical planning?▼

Fact checking and synthesizing online information is best handled through a structured search strategy that breaks questions into sub-queries, searches each independently, records URLs and publication dates, and cross-references claims across multiple sources to flag conflicts.

How do I run multi-step web investigations with conflict flagging for comparative analyses?▼

Multi-step web investigations with conflict flagging require breaking research questions into sub-queries, extracting content with freshness checks, and synthesizing findings while explicitly flagging conflicting information across sources in a consistent output template.

Can I use automated web research for overnight agent research workflows?▼

Automated web research supports overnight agent research workflows by converting open-ended questions into reliable, source-attributed summaries through structured search, content extraction with publication dates, and synthesized conclusions with explicit source attribution.

Does source attribution and recency checking work for policy reviews and product decisions?▼

Source attribution and recency checking work for policy reviews and product decisions by recording publication dates during content extraction, cross-referencing claims across multiple sources, and producing evidence-backed overviews with explicit per-finding relevance.

What are the limitations of web research when verifying claims across multiple sources?▼

Limitations of web research include dependency on search and fetch capabilities to retrieve web content, requiring multiple independent sources to cross-reference claims, and the need to manually review flagged conflicts within the synthesized output template.
