What happens if a tool only provides partial data?

The skill is programmed to stop and report partial data failures rather than making assumptions, subsequently attempting the next tool in the priority list.

How does this skill differ from standard web search?

Standard search often returns summaries; this skill prioritizes viewing actual source code and full documentation pages to ensure absolute accuracy and prevent AI hallucinations.

Can it research private GitHub repositories?

Yes, as long as your local environment has the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated with the necessary permissions to access those specific repositories.

Which tools are used for the research process?

It utilizes a priority list including the GitHub CLI (gh), Tavily Extract, Kagi Summarizer, and Perplexity-style AI search to find the most reliable data.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Conducts deep-dive technical research by verifying actual source content across GitHub repositories and web documentation.

This skill empowers Claude to perform high-fidelity research by prioritizing primary source verification over surface-level summaries. It follows a strict hierarchical protocol—starting with GitHub API access for codebases and moving through advanced extraction tools like Tavily and Kagi—to ensure every finding is backed by actual source data. It is particularly useful when accurate documentation, specific code implementations, or technical specifications are required, as it explicitly rejects partial data and requires user consent before substituting sources.
