Current Research
Contract
- Current facts are checked against up-to-date sources.
- The output separates already-known KB context from new developments.
- Every web/current claim has source, URL, date, and retrieval date.
Workflow
- Load current KB page/context first.
- Search current sources and prioritize primary/official sources.
- Build a delta: new, changed, contradicted, unchanged, unknown.
- Update KB pages only when source quality and relevance meet the bar.
- Record freshness and next-review date.
Operating System Backing
This skill is backed by the shared deterministic KB operations harness. Use these commands for audits, CI fixtures, and repeatable agent runs:
python3 plugins/knowledge-base/scripts/kb_ops.py querypython3 plugins/knowledge-base/scripts/kb_ops.py citation-audit
Output Format
- FRESHNESS DELTA
- Known context, new facts, changed facts, sources, KB writes.
Anti-Patterns
- Overwriting KB context with a single new article.
- Failing to date current claims.
