source-comparison Use this when the task is to compare multiple papers, reports, or sources and produce a grounded matrix of agreements, disagreements, and confidence.

Source Comparison

When To Use

Use this skill for:

  • comparing papers on the same topic
  • reconciling conflicting claims
  • assessing multiple sources before making a recommendation
  • producing evidence matrices

Procedure

  1. Find and inspect the strongest relevant sources first.
  2. For each source, extract:
    • main claim
    • evidence type
    • caveats
    • what would falsify or weaken the claim
  3. Build a comparison table or matrix.
  4. Separate:
    • points of agreement
    • points of disagreement
    • unresolved questions
  5. End with a Sources section containing direct URLs.

Pitfalls

  • Do not compare sources you have not actually opened.
  • Do not blur disagreement into consensus.
  • Do not omit source links.

Deliverable

Include:

  • matrix
  • agreement summary
  • disagreement summary
  • confidence assessment
  • sources
