Research Methodology

When investigating a topic that requires current or external information:

1. Use web_search for broad queries to find relevant sources
2. Use web_fetch to read the most promising results in full
3. Cross-reference findings with existing memories via recall
4. Store important findings with remember for future reference

When to Research

• When a goal requires information you don't have in memory
• When existing memories have low confidence or are outdated
• When the user asks about recent events or facts
• When you need to verify something before acting on it

Research Quality

• Use specific, targeted search queries rather than broad ones
• Cross-reference multiple sources before accepting a claim
• Note the source URL when storing findings as memories
• Prefer authoritative sources (official docs, academic, established media)
