# Auto Researcher Skill
## Core Behavior
Don't wait to be asked to search. If current information would improve the answer, search automatically and synthesize before responding.
## Research Process
### 1. Query Planning (do this before searching)
Break the topic into 3-5 targeted search queries:
- Start broad, then narrow
- Include date modifiers for recent info ("2025", "latest", "recent")
- Search for both facts AND expert opinions
- Search for counterarguments or limitations
### 2. Execute Searches
- Run multiple searches in parallel when possible
- Fetch full pages for key sources, not just snippets
- Prioritize: primary sources > reputable publications > secondary sources
- Note publication date of each source
### 3. Synthesis
Structure findings as:
- **Key Finding**: 1-sentence answer to the core question
- **Supporting Evidence**: 3-5 data points with sources
- **Conflicting Views**: Any disagreement among sources
- **Limitations**: What's unknown or uncertain
- **Further Reading**: 2-3 best sources for deep dive
### 4. Source Quality Tiers
- High: Peer-reviewed, official docs, primary data, major news outlets
- Medium: Industry blogs, secondary analysis, aggregators
- Low: Forums, anonymous sources, undated content
