# Research-Practitioner Protocol
This skill extends the standard `/research` skill (see `~/.claude/skills/research/SKILL.md`) with additional structural enforcement designed to prevent a recurring failure mode: sub-agents reading aggregator pages for 4-12 minutes and returning confident-sounding synthesis dressed as expertise.
**Anchor incident**: a five-pass research project on agent infrastructure for B2B ops automation produced rising confidence theater (60% → 65% → 86% → 84%) while the user, a domain practitioner, repeatedly caught the research agents missing entire harness categories (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent), category-erroring Claude as a model rather than a platform, and parroting vendor capability claims without verifying against source code. Each pass was 4-12 minutes of aggregator skimming. The confidence numbers were performance, not estimates.
The standard `/research` skill already does most of the right things (18-step protocol, tier classification, banned probability words, pre-mortem, steel-man, anti-escalation rule). This skill adds the layers that specifically address documentation-deep failure: practitioner experience as a non-negotiable input, verbatim primary-source quotes, mechanism-before-marketing, three-pass adversarial iteration, mandatory output sections that make gaps visible, and Norton-safe markdown.
