General Research

Overview

Purpose: Systematic internet research on any topic through methodical questioning and multi-source analysis

Approach:

• Understand context first - clarify what's truly needed before starting
• Ask strategic questions - research direction must be clear
• Use multiple sources - never rely on single page (minimum 5-8 sources)
• Identify patterns - analyze and synthesize, don't just collect
• Evaluate credibility - use tier system for source quality
• Cross-reference claims - verify key information across sources
• Document systematically - capture process and conclusions

Output: Research report saved in .research/[topic-slug]-[date].md

Note: Research is iterative - you can return to earlier phases when discovering new information or when scope needs adjustment.
