A research harness: fan out searches, fetch sources, adversarially verify claims, synthesize a cited report.

What it is

A research harness for questions that deserve more than one search: fan out queries across angles, fetch and read the sources, adversarially verify the load-bearing claims, and synthesize a cited report. The verification stage is the point — plausible-but-wrong findings die there.

Why

Single-pass research inherits whatever the first sources got wrong. Fanning out, verifying claims adversarially, and requiring citations produces a report I can check — instead of one I have to take on faith.

How I use it

It runs as a multi-stage pipeline with cheap models on retrieval and stronger ones on verification and synthesis. Underspecified questions get two or three clarifying questions first, because scope discipline is most of research quality.

Get it

The whole method is downloadable and adaptable — skills/deep-research/SKILL.md inside the zip.
