# Verified Research

## Quick Start

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
```

## Core Rule

**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

## Common Pitfalls

❌ Presenting search snippets as facts ❌ Trusting summaries without
checking sources ❌ Citing sources you haven't read

## When Uncertain

If you can't verify (paywall, 404, contradictions): **Say so
explicitly.** Don't present unverified info as fact.
