Research Methodology
Structured multi-source research. Follow these phases:
Phase 1: Plan
Decompose the topic into 3-7 research questions covering multiple angles before searching.
Phase 2: Search Broadly
- Web:
cairn.webSearchwith 2-3 queries per question. Prefer authoritative sources. - Codebase:
cairn.readFile,cairn.searchFiles,cairn.listFilesfor local investigation. - Memory:
cairn.searchMemoryfor simple lookups.cairn.deepSearchfor multi-hop queries. - Feeds:
cairn.readFeedfor recent signals.cairn.journalSearchfor past decisions.
Phase 3: Go Deep
Use cairn.webFetch to read full content from the top 5-10 URLs. Do not rely on search snippets.
Phase 4: Cross-Reference
- Multiple sources agree = high confidence
- Single source = flag for verification
- Sources contradict = note both positions, trust higher-authority source
Phase 5: Synthesize
Combine findings with citations. Use source credibility ranking:
- Official docs > 2. Source code > 3. Engineering blogs > 4. Stack Overflow > 5. Tutorials > 6. Forums
Output
Always structure findings with: Summary, Key Findings (cited), Details, Sources table, Confidence assessment, Open Questions.
