## Capabilities

- Breaks broad research questions into searchable subtopics.
- Runs three layers of web research for breadth, depth, and verification.
- Compares claims across multiple sources before forming conclusions.
- Produces concise Markdown summaries for simple research tasks.
- Creates longer Markdown reports with references and Mermaid diagrams.
- Suggests HTML report layouts with QuickChart visualizations for complex topics.

## Use Cases

- Compare Product Options: Research competing products, summarize tradeoffs, and highlight credible evidence for a buying or roadmap decision.
- Evaluate Technical Choices: Collect current evidence about frameworks, tools, or architectures and present a structured recommendation.
- Track Market Trends: Gather recent sources, verify claims, and synthesize patterns for a planning brief or executive update.

## Prompt Templates

### Research a Topic

```
Research the current state of [topic]. Use multiple reliable sources and give me the key findings, uncertainties, and source links.
```

### Compare Options

```
Compare [option A], [option B], and [option C] for [use case]. Evaluate cost, strengths, risks, adoption, and best fit.
```

### Build a Decision Report

```
Create a detailed research report on [decision]. Include search strategy, evidence summary, source comparison, recommendation, and open questions.
```

### Synthesize Trends

```
Analyze trends in [market or technology] over the last [time period]. Validate claims across sources and separate facts from forecasts.
```

## Limitations

- Requires working web search or MCP search tools.
- May send research queries or chart data to external services.
- Does not guarantee access to paywalled or restricted sources.
- Trend forecasts remain analytical judgments, not certain predictions.

## Best Practices

- State the research question, audience, and decision criteria before starting.
- Ask for source dates and confidence levels when the topic changes quickly.
- Review citations before using the report in high-stakes decisions.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use it for private data that should not leave your environment.
- Do not treat forecasts as facts without checking source assumptions.
- Do not request a long report when a direct answer is enough.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-04T17:14:24.943\+00:00
- Summary: Static command-execution and obfuscation signals were reviewed against SKILL.md. The command finding is a Markdown inline-code false positive, and the entropy finding is explained by readable Chinese text and formatting. A low-severity semantic finding remains because the skill explicitly directs external web search and QuickChart use.
