Research Workflow

Turns a research question into a methodical four-phase process: plan your queries, execute searches systematically, analyze findings for patterns and conflicts, then synthesize into a coherent report. Works best when you need to investigate something thoroughly rather than grab a quick fact. The skill includes source evaluation checklists and teaches you to document confidence levels for each finding, which is genuinely useful for separating strong consensus from single-source claims. Requires web search capability and patience for the multi-query workflow. If you're the type who naturally opens twelve tabs and then forgets what you were looking for, this gives you scaffolding to actually track and connect what you find.

Research Workflow

A structured methodology for conducting comprehensive research. This skill guides you through planning, executing, analyzing, and synthesizing research on any topic.

The user needs comprehensive research on a topic
Multiple search queries are needed to fully answer a question
Source credibility and synthesis matter
A research report or documented findings are expected
Keywords mentioned: research, investigate, deep dive, comprehensive analysis

Do NOT use this skill when:

A single quick search will suffice (use web-search instead)
The user just wants a simple fact lookup
No synthesis or analysis is needed
Time is extremely limited

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:

Web search capability is available (web-search skill, WebSearch tool, or similar)
Sufficient time for multi-phase research process
Clear understanding of the research question or topic
