ulw-research
[omh] Deep dive before a decision: deep research engine - grounding for specs and decisions: study open-source reference implementations with pinned refs, gather live web evidence with citation discipline, verify contested claims, and distill a decision-grounding dossier that planning consumes; for a decision brief use research-brief, for upstream guidance use web-research. Use when the user says: research plan, literature review, research literature, review recent papers, deep research, deep-research, exhaustive research, saturation research.

# Research
This is a Hermes-native `research` workflow skill.
## Why This Exists
`research` exists to make Hermes a careful research engine: it routes research demands to source-backed evidence gathering - from live web citations to studied reference implementations - verifies contested claims, and distills decision-grounding output so planning starts from evidence instead of guesses.
## First Steps
- When Hermes' bundled `grounded-citations` skill is available, set the citation ledger up before the first retrieval: choose one run-private file, have the parent reset it once (`sources.py --ledger <path> reset`), and declare parent-only writes in every lane brief. No lane resets it. Discover the current search/read tools and authorized scope, then follow `references/search-method.md`: plan -> actual host search/read -> merge -> assess -> bounded retry. Use `omh_search` only when available; otherwise report the skill-only fallback. Keep direct file lookups direct.
## Do Not Use When
