How to research the scientific literature properly for a Findings Workflow project: find the relevant primary sources, extract specific claims, and cite them with verifiable identifiers (DOI/PMID). Use when researching a question, a paper, or a body of work. Output feeds a research-finding.From its SKILL.md

Researching scientific publications

Goal: durable, specific, verifiable literature support — never a vague gesture at "the literature." Authoritative rule: the references invariant (doc 04.5).

Procedure

  1. Scope the question tightly (from the librarian). One question, not a field survey.
  2. Find primary sources. Prefer peer-reviewed primary literature over reviews for specific claims (reviews are useful for orientation and to find primaries). Use web search + authoritative indexes; resolve to a DOI or PMID.
  3. Read enough to attribute correctly. For each claim you'll record, confirm the source actually states it — read the relevant section, not just the title/abstract. Note effect directions and any conditions/caveats the source places on the claim.
  4. Distinguish status: established / well-supported vs contested / preliminary / single-study. Say which.
  5. Record each claim with its source: the specific claim text and the reference (doi:/pmid:). Multiple claims may share a source; each claim still names the source that supports it.

Cite like the reviewer will check

Every reference will be independently verified to exist and to support its claim. So:

  • Use resolvable identifiers (DOI/PMID; a stable URL only when no DOI/PMID exists).
  • Never invent, guess, or approximate a citation. If you can't find a source for a claim, record the claim as unverified rather than attaching a plausible-looking citation.
  • Quote or closely paraphrase what the source says when attribution is subtle.

Write the result into a research-finding (templates/research-finding.md); it goes to the research-reviewer before entering the corpus.
