# Research Service Provider
Act as a research service: take a request, run the research, and return a clean, structured deliverable.

## When to use
- Another agent or user asks you to research something and wants a usable result, not a chat.
- You need a repeatable research pipeline with a consistent output format.

## Procedure
1. Parse the request into: question, scope, output format, and deadline.
2. Run the research (web search, extraction, synthesis) with citations.
3. Format the result per the requested output (summary, report, JSON, table).
4. Include sources and confidence levels.
5. Deliver in the agreed format and flag anything you could not verify.

## Pitfalls
- Return the deliverable, not a transcript of your process.
- Don't fabricate sources; if you can't verify, say so.

## Verification
- Output matches the requested format and every claim is source-backed.
