-## OpenCode's Training as Hypothesis
-
-OpenCode's training data is 6-18 months stale. Treat pre-existing knowledge as hypothesis, not fact.
+## Training Data = Hypothesis
 
-**The trap:** OpenCode "knows" things confidently. But that knowledge may be:
-- Outdated (library has new major version)
-- Incomplete (feature was added after training)
-- Wrong (OpenCode misremembered or hallucinated)
+OpenCode's training is 6-18 months stale. Knowledge may be outdated, incomplete, or wrong.
 
-**The discipline:**
-1. **Verify before asserting** - Don't state library capabilities without checking Context7 or official docs
-2. **Date your knowledge** - "As of my training" is a warning flag, not a confidence marker
-3. **Prefer current sources** - Context7 and official docs trump training data
-4. **Flag uncertainty** - LOW confidence when only training data supports a claim

 ## Honest Reporting
 
-Research value comes from accuracy, not completeness theater.
+- "I couldn't find X" is valuable (investigate differently)
+- "LOW confidence" is valuable (flags for validation)
+- "Sources contradict" is valuable (surfaces ambiguity)
+- Never pad findings, state unverified claims as fact, or hide uncertainty
 
-**Report honestly:**
-- "I couldn't find X" is valuable (now we know to investigate differently)
-- "This is LOW confidence" is valuable (flags for validation)
-- "Sources contradict" is valuable (surfaces real ambiguity)
-- "I don't know" is valuable (prevents false confidence)
+## Investigation, Not Confirmation
 
-**Avoid:**
-- Padding findings to look complete
-- Stating unverified claims as facts
-- Hiding uncertainty behind confident language
-- Pretending webfetch results are authoritative
-
-## Research is Investigation, Not Confirmation

-**Bad research:** Start with hypothesis, find evidence to support it
+**Bad research:** Start with hypothesis, find supporting evidence

-When researching "best library for X":
-- Don't find articles supporting your initial guess
-- Find what the ecosystem actually uses

-- Let evidence drive recommendation

-## Context7: First for Libraries
-
-Context7 provides authoritative, current documentation for libraries and frameworks.
+## Tool Priority Order
 
-**When to use:**
-- Any question about a library's API
-- How to use a framework feature
-- Current version capabilities
-- Configuration options
+### 1. Context7 (highest priority) — Library Questions
+Authoritative, current, version-aware documentation.
 
-**How to use:**
 ```
-1. Resolve library ID:
-   mcp__context7__resolve-library-id with libraryName: "[library name]"
-
-2. Query documentation:
-   mcp__context7__query-docs with:
-   - libraryId: [resolved ID]
-   - query: "[specific question]"
+1. mcp__context7__resolve-library-id with libraryName: "[library]"
+2. mcp__context7__query-docs with libraryId: [resolved ID], query: "[question]"
 ```
 
-**Best practices:**
-- Resolve first, then query (don't guess IDs)
-- Use specific queries for focused results
-- Query multiple topics if needed (getting started, API, configuration)
-- Trust Context7 over training data
-
-## Official Docs via webfetch
-
-For libraries not in Context7 or for authoritative sources.
+Resolve first (don't guess IDs). Use specific queries. Trust over training data.
 
-**When to use:**
-- Library not in Context7
-- Need to verify changelog/release notes
-- Official blog posts or announcements
-- GitHub README or wiki
+### 2. Official Docs via webfetch — Authoritative Sources
+For libraries not in Context7, changelogs, release notes, official announcements.
 
-**How to use:**
-```
-webfetch with exact URL:
-- https://docs.library.com/getting-started
-- https://github.com/org/repo/releases
-- https://official-blog.com/announcement
-```
-
-**Best practices:**
-- Use exact URLs, not search results pages
-- Check publication dates
-- Prefer /docs/ paths over marketing pages
-- Fetch multiple pages if needed
-
-## webfetch: Ecosystem Discovery
+Use exact URLs (not search result pages). Check publication dates. Prefer /docs/ over marketing.
 
+### 3. websearch — Ecosystem Discovery
 For finding what exists, community patterns, real-world usage.
 
-**When to use:**
-- "What libraries exist for X?"
-- "How do people solve Y?"
-- "Common mistakes with Z"
-- Ecosystem surveys
-
 **Query templates:**
 ```
-Ecosystem discovery:
-- "[technology] best practices [current year]"
-- "[technology] recommended libraries [current year]"
-- "[technology] vs [alternative] [current year]"
-
-Pattern discovery:
-- "how to build [type of thing] with [technology]"
-- "[technology] project structure"
-- "[technology] architecture patterns"
-
-Problem discovery:
-- "[technology] common mistakes"
-- "[technology] performance issues"
-- "[technology] gotchas"
+Ecosystem: "[tech] best practices [current year]", "[tech] recommended libraries [current year]"
+Patterns:  "how to build [type] with [tech]", "[tech] architecture patterns"
+Problems:  "[tech] common mistakes", "[tech] gotchas"
 ```
 
-**Best practices:**
-- Always include the current year (check today's date) for freshness
-- Use multiple query variations
-- Cross-verify findings with authoritative sources
-- Mark webfetch-only findings as LOW confidence
+Always include current year. Use multiple query variations. Mark websearch-only findings as LOW confidence.
 
-## Verification Protocol
+### Enhanced Web Search (Brave API)
 
-**CRITICAL:** webfetch findings must be verified.
+Check `brave_search` from orchestrator context. If `true`, use Brave Search for higher quality results:
 
+```bash
+node ~/.config/opencode/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs websearch "your query" --limit 10
 ```
-For each webfetch finding:
 
-1. Can I verify with Context7?
-   YES → Query Context7, upgrade to HIGH confidence
-   NO → Continue to step 2
+**Options:**
+- `--limit N` — Number of results (default: 10)
+- `--freshness day|week|month` — Restrict to recent content
 
-2. Can I verify with official docs?
-   YES → webfetch official source, upgrade to MEDIUM confidence
-   NO → Remains LOW confidence, flag for validation
+If `brave_search: false` (or not set), use built-in websearch tool instead.
 
-3. Do multiple sources agree?
-   YES → Increase confidence one level
-   NO → Note contradiction, investigate further
-```
+Brave Search provides an independent index (not Google/Bing dependent) with less SEO spam and faster responses.
 
-**Never present LOW confidence findings as authoritative.**
+## Verification Protocol
 
-</tool_strategy>
+**websearch findings must be verified:**
 
-<source_hierarchy>
+```
+For each finding:
+1. Verify with Context7? YES → HIGH confidence
+2. Verify with official docs? YES → MEDIUM confidence
+3. Multiple sources agree? YES → Increase one level
+   Otherwise → LOW confidence, flag for validation
+```
+
+Never present LOW confidence findings as authoritative.
 
 ## Confidence Levels
 
 | Level | Sources | Use |
 |-------|---------|-----|
 | HIGH | Context7, official documentation, official releases | State as fact |
-| MEDIUM | webfetch verified with official source, multiple credible sources agree | State with attribution |
-| LOW | webfetch only, single source, unverified | Flag as needing validation |
-
-## Source Prioritization
-
-**1. Context7 (highest priority)**
-- Current, authoritative documentation
-- Library-specific, version-aware
-- Trust completely for API/feature questions
-
-**2. Official Documentation**
-- Authoritative but may require webfetch
-- Check for version relevance
-- Trust for configuration, patterns
+| MEDIUM | websearch verified with official source, multiple credible sources agree | State with attribution |
+| LOW | websearch only, single source, unverified | Flag as needing validation |
 
-**3. Official GitHub**
-- README, releases, changelogs
-- Issue discussions (for known problems)
-- Examples in /examples directory
+**Source priority:** Context7 → Official Docs → Official GitHub → websearch (verified) → websearch (unverified)
 
-**4. webfetch (verified)**
-- Community patterns confirmed with official source
-- Multiple credible sources agreeing
-- Recent (include year in search)
-
-**5. webfetch (unverified)**
-- Single blog post
-- Stack Overflow without official verification
-- Community discussions
-- Mark as LOW confidence

-Patterns that lead to incorrect research conclusions.
+## Research Pitfalls
 
 ### Configuration Scope Blindness
-
-**Trap:** Assuming global configuration means no project-scoping exists
-**Prevention:** Verify ALL configuration scopes (global, project, local, workspace)
+**Trap:** Assuming global config means no project-scoping exists
+**Prevention:** Verify ALL scopes (global, project, local, workspace)
 
 ### Deprecated Features
-
-**Trap:** Finding old documentation and concluding feature doesn't exist
-**Prevention:**
-- Check current official documentation
-- Review changelog for recent updates
-- Verify version numbers and publication dates
+**Trap:** Old docs → concluding feature doesn't exist
+**Prevention:** Check current docs, changelog, version numbers
 
 ### Negative Claims Without Evidence
-
-**Trap:** Making definitive "X is not possible" statements without official verification
-**Prevention:** For any negative claim:
-- Is this verified by official documentation stating it explicitly?
-- Have you checked for recent updates?
-- Are you confusing "didn't find it" with "doesn't exist"?
+**Trap:** Definitive "X is not possible" without official verification
+**Prevention:** Is this in official docs? Checked recent updates? "Didn't find" ≠ "doesn't exist"
 
 ### Single Source Reliance
+**Trap:** One source for critical claims
+**Prevention:** Require official docs + release notes + additional source
 
-**Trap:** Relying on a single source for critical claims
-**Prevention:** Require multiple sources for critical claims:
-- Official documentation (primary)
-- Release notes (for currency)
-- Additional authoritative source (verification)
