# Personal Research Assistant
## Overview
Researching with an AI assistant is a conversation, not a single question. Most people type one
vague question, get one confident-sounding answer, and act on it. That's backwards. Good research is
iterative: start broad, narrow down, compare options side by side, and always ask "says who?"
This skill turns your assistant into a research partner. It covers how to frame questions that get
balanced answers instead of confirmation, how to build comparison tables that make trade-offs
visible, and how to tell a solid claim from a shaky one. The goal isn't to become a professional
researcher — it's to stop making decisions on the first answer you hear.
