Skill guide: /fact — a sourced one-line answer

quick-fact is the smallest skill: it answers a factual question in one line with the source that supports it. No report, no clarifying survey, no artifacts — a few seconds and a few thousand tokens.

How to call it

text
/fact In what year was the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) introduced, and by whom?

What happens

  • One targeted search (web, or a database when the question is bibliographic).
  • The answer is written only if a source supports it; the source URL is part of the answer.
The whole turn: one search with 7 results, a one-line answer with its source, 7K tokens.
The whole turn: one search with 7 results, a one-line answer with its source, 7K tokens.

When to use it

  • A date, a definition, a number, an author — anything you would otherwise look up in a new tab.
  • Checking a claim while writing: "is it 1988 or 1983?" without leaving the manuscript.

Tips

  • If the question needs several sources or interpretation, it belongs to /research.
  • Ask it in the manuscript session: the source it finds is stored and can be cited there.
