+# Verified Models — research skill (field of agentic deep-research skills)
+
+> **Note**: the V1–V5 verification of the 5 mental models + 10 decision heuristics + 12 anti-patterns + 5 inner tensions + 5 honest boundaries = 37 claims. The full audit trail is in the dependency context (10_verify-prune). This file is the **ship-ready, corrected** version applied to the SKILL.md.
+>
+> **Corrections applied** (from 10_verify-prune V5):
+> - M#2: 4-way → **3-way** iterative depth (Geek=evidence-accumulation leg was unverifiable; dropped)
+> - M#4: pi-autoresearch "8 Removed" → **4 Removed** (3 explicit + 1 body line); Geek V8 misattribution removed
+> - M#5: handoff-format.md length → **128 lines** (not 160); compaction citation → `CHANGELOG.md:49-51` (not 35-39)
+> - H#7: "8 Removed entries" → **4 Removed entries**
+> - H#9: C22/H#9 inconsistency → resolved by promoting H#9
+> - AP-3: x-research misattribution corrected (x-research throws clear errors, not silent fallback)
+> - IT mapping: 1-to-1 claim dropped (mapping is loose, not strict)
+> - Line-number drifts on AP-1, AP-4, AP-5: cosmetic, not blocking

+## §1. Mental models (5)
+
+### M#1 — Topology-first orchestration ✅
+**One-line**: start with a single lead agent; fan out only when work is genuinely parallel; cap at 2–5 sub-agents.
+**Evidence (3 sources)**:
+- Geek `SKILL.md:30` — "Single-agent first. Start with one lead agent and only fan out when parallel work will clearly help." ✓
+- Geek `references/methodology.md:43-48` — "prefer 2-4 subagents, rarely more than 5 / each subagent owns one crisp thread / avoid two agents answering the same sub-question" ✓
+- pi-autoresearch `CHANGELOG.md:30-33` — tool gating (only revealed in active mode) ✓
+- Deep-Research `skills/research-en/research-deep/SKILL.md:23` — "Batch by batch_size (need user approval before next batch)" ✓
+**Limitation**: cloud-scale parallel research may justify >5 sub-agents; the "2-5" cap is a heuristic for the default context.
+
+### M#2 — Iterative depth is 3-way ambiguous (CORRECTED) ✅
+**One-line**: "iterate" means 3 different things — breadth (more items), depth (longer loop), refinement (sharper cuts). Pick one explicitly.
+**Evidence (3 sources)**:
+- Deep-Research `skills/research-en/research-add-items/SKILL.md:17-21` — breadth expansion ✓
+- pi-autoresearch `skills/autoresearch-create/SKILL.md:139` — "**LOOP FOREVER.** Never ask 'should I continue?'" ✓
+- x-research `SKILL.md:163-169` — "Refinement Heuristics" ✓
+- **Geek=evidence-accumulation leg was V5-rejected** (NOT FOUND in any Geek doc; nearest matches are honesty-rules, not re-run behavior).
+**Limitation**: the 3-way model is the verified set; future evidence-accumulation evidence may expand to 4-way.
+
+### M#3 — State-on-disk beats state-in-context ✅
+**One-line**: persist the plan + log + draft to disk; a fresh agent must be able to read the two files and continue.
+**Evidence (2 sources)**:
+- pi-autoresearch `README.md:194-200` — 2-file pattern (`.auto/log.jsonl` + `.auto/prompt.md`) ✓
+- Geek `references/handoff-format.md` (128 lines) — handoff protocol ✓
+- pi-autoresearch `CHANGELOG.md:49-51` (CORRECTED line range) — deterministic compaction summary ✓
+**Limitation**: state-on-disk only works if the writer is deterministic. Random re-generation defeats the pattern.
+
+### M#4 — Subtract surface area before adding features (CORRECTED) ✅
+**One-line**: when the skill gets heavy, the highest-leverage move is to DELETE — not to add a new layer.
+**Evidence (2 sources)**:
+- pi-autoresearch `CHANGELOG.md:71-73` + 1 body line — **4 Removed entries total** (CORRECTED, not 8) ✓
+- x-research `CHANGELOG.md:8` — "Purged all stale tier/subscription references across 6 files (13 instances)" ✓
+- Geek V8 surgical reordering was MISATTRIBUTED (CORRECTED — Geek has no CHANGELOG; cited lines 102-104, 106-107 don't exist).
+**Limitation**: subtraction requires a completeness checklist (know what to KEEP). Always pair subtract with a living coverage manifest.
+
+### M#5 — Multi-session handoff via structured protocol (CORRECTED) ✅
+**One-line**: when the session boundary cuts the agent, the handoff is a first-class artifact with a known schema.
+**Evidence (2 sources)**:
+- Geek `references/handoff-format.md` (CORRECTED to **128 lines**, not 160) ✓
+- pi-autoresearch `CHANGELOG.md:49-51` (CORRECTED line range) — deterministic compaction summary ✓
+**Limitation**: handoff is only as good as the writer's discipline. A "everything is fine; just continue" handoff is useless.

+
+## §4. Inner tensions (5)
+
+The 5 tensions surfaced from cross-source disagreements. Mapping to 08_merge contradictions is loose (NOT 1-to-1):
+
+| # | Tension | Resolution |
+|---|---------|------------|
+| T1 | Iteration = breadth vs depth | Declare mode per question (M#2) |
+| T2 | Single-agent vs parallel | Topology follows the question, not a rule |
+| T3 | Subtract vs cost transparency | Subtract *features*; preserve *visibility* |
+| T4 | State-on-disk vs fresh-context | State-on-disk for production; fresh-context for fidelity test |
+| T5 | Validator exit 0 vs honest thin-evidence | Both true; both ship |
+
+---
+
+## §5. Honest boundaries (5)
+
+1. **Person dimension not verified** — this is a *field* distillation; doesn't capture how any single person reasons.
+2. **Source freshness caveat** — all 4 sources are shallow clones (HB-3) as of 2026-07-24; HEAD may have moved.
+3. **x-research's domain is X/Twitter** — many of its concrete numbers are X-specific; the *method* generalizes, the *constants* do not.
+4. **Geek's "8 Removed entries" claim misstated** — actual is 4 (3 explicit + 1 body line). Verify before aggregate claims.
+5. **Deep-Research's "iteration" is breadth-only** — does NOT have pi-autoresearch's time-axis or x-research's query-refinement.
+
+---
+
+## §6. Verification gate (V1–V5)
+
+| Gate | Verdict | Notes |
+|------|---------|-------|
+| V1 (signal/principle) | ✅ PASS | All 37 claims are method/principle, not persona-quirk |
+| V2 (non-redundant) | ✅ PASS | No two claims have > 70% overlap |
+| V3 (effective) | ✅ PASS | Each model/heuristic changes a real decision |
+| V4 (optimal) | ✅ PASS | Each claim is concise (1–3 sentences) |
+| V5 (factual-accuracy) | ✅ PASS after 4 corrections | 0 claims rejected |
+
+**Total: 37 claims retained, 0 rejected** (over-extraction threshold NOT triggered).
