# Internet Lookup Verifier ## Purpose When a user asks a factual question, this skill performs an online search to confirm the answer and returns a concise verified response. It ensures that the assistant’s reply is backed by current, reliable sources. ## How it works 1. **Trigger** – The skill activates when the system prompt or another skill signals a need for verification. Typically this happens before answering a question that contains keywords like *fact*, *true/false*, *verify*, or *source*. 2. **Search** – Uses the `web_search` tool to retrieve up to 5 relevant results (default 3). The query is the user’s question or a re‑phrased version suitable for search engines. 3. **Extract** – From each result, the skill pulls the title, URL and snippet. If needed, it can fetch the full page with `web_fetch` for deeper analysis. 4. **Evaluate** – The assistant checks that at least one source explicitly supports the answer. If sources disagree or none are found, it reports uncertainty. 5. **Respond** – Returns a short verified answer followed by a list of URLs (and optionally snippets) that back the claim. ## Usage example > *User:* Is the capital of Australia Canberra? > > *Assistant (using this skill):* Yes, Canberra is the capital of Australia. Source: https://www.britannica.com/place/Canberra-Australia ## Limitations - Relies on the quality of public search results. - May not handle niche or very new information if it hasn’t indexed yet. - Does not guarantee 100 % accuracy; it only indicates that sources support the claim. ## Extensibility Add a `references/` folder with detailed guidelines for interpreting ambiguous results or handling conflicting sources. The skill can be extended to use more advanced NLP techniques for source credibility scoring.

Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.

Also review learnings before major tasks.
