Answering with sources
Skill Scout-AI-Labs/scout-skills/skills/answering-with-sources
Answer a factual question quickly using the live web with Scout, with inline citations. Use for a single direct question that needs current information ("what changed in X", "who is Y", "is Z still true") when a full research pass would be overkill. One search, read the top results, answer with citations.From its SKILL.md

Answering with sources
The fast path: one search, read the best results, answer with citations. Use this for a single question; for a multi-part topic use researching-the-web instead.
Steps
- Search the question. Use
scout_search(MCP) or:
curl -s https://core.usescout.sh/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCOUT_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"queries":["<question>"],"limit":8}'
- Read the top 2-3 results with
scout_scrape(orPOST /v1/page/markdown). - Answer in a few sentences, grounded only in what you read. Put a
[n]after each claim and list the source URLs at the end.
If the results don't actually answer the question, say that plainly and suggest a better query rather than padding.
