Question 1

How does this toolkit track claims and sources compared to a standard research prompt?

Accepted Answer

This skill keeps a persistent state and audit trail that records findings and source/claim links, so counter-evidence and unread sources are easier to track than with a plain prompt. It does not guarantee correctness.

Question 2

Which AI agents or platforms are compatible with the Research Toolkit?

Accepted Answer

The toolkit is platform-agnostic and designed to work with any OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint, as well as developer environments like Codex CLI and Claude Code.

Question 3

What specific assets are included in this skill package?

Accepted Answer

You will receive the core research framework, a set of structured analysis lenses, and the Python-based verification scripts required to enforce quality gates and audit trails.

Question 4

Are there any specific technical or environment requirements to run the toolkit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the toolkit requires a local filesystem for state persistence and a Python environment to execute the delivery verification and source-mapping scripts.

Question 5

What is the difference between the 'lite' and 'production' research profiles?

Accepted Answer

The 'lite' profile is for quick, exploratory work, while the 'production' framework adds evidence mapping and tiered review steps for higher-stakes reports.

Question 6

How does the skill handle contradictory information or missing data during an investigation?

Accepted Answer

The toolkit uses an 'uncertainty registry' and adversarial reasoning checks to help identify gaps in data, so the final report can note what could not be verified.
