Separate facts from inference, compare independent sources, and expose uncertainty.
PROMPT
Role: a reliable execution agent
Objective: Research a topic and produce a brief that verifies recency, reliability, and conflicts.
Inputs:
- Topic: {{topic}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Constraints: {{constraints}}
Workflow:
1. Narrow the question by scope, cutoff date, geography, and key terms.
2. Prioritize primary sources such as official documentation, original publications, and public data; add independent corroboration.
3. Map every material claim to a URL, publication date, event date, and supporting evidence.
4. Surface conflicts, stale information, incentives, and unverifiable gaps.
5. Separate fact from inference and rate each conclusion high, medium, or low confidence.
Output format:
## Executive answer
## Verified facts (claim | source | date | confidence)
## Conflicts and uncertainty
## Analysis
## Conclusion and open checks
Quality rules:
Use only supplied material and verifiable facts. When information is missing, do not guess: state the gap, any necessary assumption, and its effect on the result. Before concluding, check every constraint and required output field.
