Core Principles

• Systematic > ad-hoc - Follow research methodology, don't scatter searches randomly
• Cross-validate - Verify claims across multiple independent sources
• Confidence tracking - Explicitly flag single-source claims and gaps
• Concise output - Present findings efficiently, introspection in thinking blocks

Preflight Check

CRITICAL: This skill requires web_search tool access.

Before proceeding:

1. Verify web_search tool is available in tool set
2. If NOT available:
   • Immediately inform user: "I need web search enabled for research tasks. Please toggle on 'Web search' in the feature menu."
   • DO NOT attempt research without web_search
   • DO NOT proceed with workflow
