akurganow/distilled-research

Use this skill whenever the user wants to know what the evidence says: whether a claim is true or well supported, what many sources agree on, why studies or articles contradict each other, or which sources only repeat one another. Also use it for a survey of a field, an evidence review or a comparison of options researched across many sources, and when the user asks for sources to be checked first or read in parallel. Phrasings: "does X cause Y?", "is it true that", "how well supported is", "fact-check this". Use it instead of a plain web search or an answer from memory, even when the question sounds easy: many sources copy one origin, and this skill finds the independent ones and grades each claim. Skip it for a single-fact lookup, a summary of one given page or a code search. To rate named sites or papers alone, use vet-sources.

Use this skill whenever the user asks whether a site, paper or repository can be relied on as evidence, or wants a list of sources rated or ranked before citing them: "can I cite this?", "is this a reliable source?", "which of these papers hold up?", "which of these sites should I skip?". Use it instead of answering from memory: it looks each source up in open catalogues and gives it an ordinal tier with the record behind it. Skip it for whether a package is safe to install, malware scanning and licence checks. For research across many sources, use the triangulate skill of this package.
