🔁 Family-history proof
Tests one family-history question, like who someone's parent was, against the best records you can find.
Use it when: You need to prove or disprove a family link, date, or place without mixing up people with the same name.
🛑 Stops when: The claim is marked proven, disproven, likely, conflicting, or unresolved, with sources.
Copy this loop
Answer one family-history question: [question]. Note the person, place, date range, what we know, and which archives are in scope. Build a profile of the person, and keep original records separate from copies or indexes. Each pass, take the best next step: check a citation, pull one record, compare records, rule out a same-name person, or log a search that found nothing. Update a source list after each pass. Do at most [8] passes. Stop when the answer is clear or no new source would change it.
Review every change the agent makes before you keep it. Set a budget or round limit — the prompt includes one.

Test competing explanations
Splits facts from guesses, builds several possible explanations, and runs the test most likely to change your mind.
Verified paper list
Searches research databases for papers on a topic, checks each paper's ID is real, and keeps only relevant ones.
Research into a finished document
Researches a question and keeps filling the biggest gaps until a memo or brief is ready to act on.
Fact-check before you publish
Lists every checkable fact, quote, and number in a draft, checks each against a real source, and fixes the risky ones.
LaTeX research paper
Builds a full research paper in LaTeX with drawn-in charts, keeps compiling and fixing it, and never invents facts.
