What can agents do with it?

Multi-source retrieval

Search web, academic, smart, and Tavily sources.

Research answers

Use answer-oriented sources for synthesized context.

Run the search client with the verity subcommand:
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/multi-search/scripts/search_client.py verity --query "<search query>" --count <results_per_source>

Arguments

Output

The script prints:
  1. Individual results from each source (Web, Smart, Scholar, Tavily)
  2. Confidence Assessment with:
    • Score (0–100) — Overall confidence in the search results
    • Level — Very High / High / Medium / Low / Very Low
    • Sources queried and Sources OK — How many sources responded
    • Total results — Combined result count across all sources
  3. AI Synthesis — A coherent summary combining insights from all sources, with citations

When to Use

Use this skill when the user needs the most thorough and reliable search results possible. Best for fact-checking, comprehensive research, verifying claims across multiple sources, or any query where cross-source validation adds significant value. This tool is slower but more reliable than individual search tools.
