Verified Research

Quick Start

When researching, always fetch and verify actual sources:

# Always do this
WebFetch URL → read content → verify claims → present findings

# Never do this
WebSearch → present snippets without verification

Core Rule

Never present findings without examining actual source content.

Steps:

• Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or extract tools)
• Read the complete relevant sections
• Verify claims match what source actually says
• Quote specific passages when making claims

Common Pitfalls

❌ Presenting search snippets as facts ❌ Trusting summaries without

checking sources ❌ Citing sources you haven't read

When Uncertain

If you can't verify (paywall, 404, contradictions): **Say so

explicitly.** Don't present unverified info as fact.
