meld-deepresearch

Turn a vague topic into a verifiable, citation-backed research report. This skill enforces discipline, not orchestration: every claim traces back to a source that was actually opened, unknowns are labelled, and counter-evidence is searched on purpose.

Detail lives in references/ and is loaded only when needed. Every path in this file (references/..., scripts/...) is relative to this skill's own directory — the directory that contains this SKILL.md.

• references/protocol.md — search/fetch loop, time-sensitivity, refutation, budgets, gates, stop rules.
• references/evidence-contract.md — the evidence.json schema and its hard rules.
• references/tier-selection.md — how to pick quick versus normal.
• references/report-template.md — report skeleton and the quality self-check.
