# Gemini Research Grounded
Use this skill whenever the answer depends on information that may have changed since Claude's training cutoff, or whenever you need primary sources and citations rather than recalled knowledge.
## When to use this skill
- **Library/framework versions:** "What is the latest stable version of X?" or "Is feature Y available in version Z?"
- **CVE and security advisories:** Patch status, CVSS scores, affected versions, mitigations.
- **API documentation:** Endpoint signatures, authentication schemes, response shapes that may have evolved.
- **Living standards and specs:** RFC status, W3C spec updates, OpenAPI changes.
- **Current events affecting engineering:** Cloud provider incidents, deprecation announcements, EOL dates.
- **Factual claims requiring a citation:** Any assertion that should be backed by a URL.
- **Deep research synthesis:** Multi-source synthesis on a technical topic, competitive landscape, or best-practice survey.
