Comprehensive Research Agent Best Practices
This skill addresses common failures in multi-step research tasks: unhandled tool errors, missing validation, opaque reasoning, and premature conclusions. It provides structured protocols for source validation, error recovery, and thinking transparency that significantly improves research quality and reliability.
When to Activate
- Task involves web research with search, read_url, or fetch operations
- Task requires gathering information from multiple sources
- Task has explicit requirements for completeness or verification
- Task includes file operations that need validation (save, write, read)
- Any research or information-gathering workflow with 3+ tool interactions
