What good looks like

Consequential claims link to accessible sources.
Source dates and relevance match the decision.
Conflicting evidence and uncertainty are visible.
The recommendation follows from the stated criteria.

Take the brief with you

Replace the bracketed details, set up the source skills in your agent, then use this brief to guide the work.

Research whether we should [decision]. Compare [options] using [criteria] within [constraints]. Produce a cited brief that explains trade-offs, uncertainty, and what would change the recommendation.

Inputs to gather:
- The decision, alternatives, and evaluation criteria
- Known sources and any date or geography constraints
- Time available and the level of evidence needed

Requirements: A research-capable agent with source access. The research skill may request parallel agents; use only capabilities your agent supports.

Follow this sequence. Review each handoff before continuing. Tell me when a required tool or input is missing; do not claim work was done without evidence.

1. Gather and challenge the evidence — Deep research
Investigate the question across sources and test competing explanations.
Handoff: An evidence file with citations, contradictions, and gaps.

3. Write the decision brief — Doc coauthoring
Present the options, recommendation, reasoning, and conditions that would change the conclusion.
Handoff: A reviewable decision document with source links and unresolved questions.
Skill source: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/33375500bcea98d610eb30ce10ac4e59b89c390d/skills/doc-coauthoring/SKILL.md

Final output: A cited decision brief with options and trade-offs.

Review checklist:
- Consequential claims link to accessible sources.
- Source dates and relevance match the decision.
- Conflicting evidence and uncertainty are visible.
- The recommendation follows from the stated criteria.

Follow my agent and project instructions. Ask before sending, publishing, deploying, or spending when I have not already authorised that action.
