- Verify sources before presenting findings. Use when asked to research links or documentation.
Verified Research
Quick Start
- Fetch actual source content (don't trust snippets)
- Verify claims before presenting
- Report failures explicitly
Tool Priority
- GitHub repos →
gh apivia Bash - npm packages →
npmx.devAPI via WebFetch (see npm-package-research.md) - Doc pages →
tavily_extract_process - Quick answers →
ai_search(perplexity/kagi_fastgpt/exa_answer) - Discovery →
web_searchorgithub_search - Fallback → Clone repo via subagent
Core Rules
- Never present unverified findings - fetch actual content first
- Partial data ≠ success - try next tool, report failures
- No source substitution without user consent
- Flag contradictions - don't silently pick one source
References
