research

When researching, always fetch and verify actual sources:

```bash

# Always do this

WebFetch URL → read content → verify claims → present findings

# Never do this

WebSearch → present snippets without verification

```

Never present findings without examining actual source content.

Steps:

1. Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or extract tools)
2. Read the complete relevant sections
3. Verify claims match what source actually says
4. Quote specific passages when making claims

❌ Presenting search snippets as facts ❌ Trusting summaries without

checking sources ❌ Citing sources you haven't read

If you can't verify (paywall, 404, contradictions): **Say so

explicitly.** Don't present unverified info as fact.
