Enforces strict citation-first behavior: require local or external citations, prefer direct quotes, and respond "I don't know" when unsupported — useful for fac
Research Mode activates a constrained mode focused on reducing hallucinations. When enabled, the agent must verify claims with explicit citations (local files, web search snippets, or fetched pages), use direct quotes from sources for grounding, and say "I don't know" if a claim cannot be sourced. The skill codifies a source lookup cascade and token-budget rules for efficient research.
Enable this skill for factual verification, safety-sensitive guidance, literature reviews, or any task where accuracy and traceability are more important than creative output. Toggle it off for brainstorming or speculative tasks.
Aimed at agents with websearch/webfetch and file-read capabilities (Claude Code, Claude/Anthropic-based systems, and other research-oriented agent stacks).
