# Family History Research Planning Skill **Version:** 1.0.6 **Last Updated:** November 6, 2025 ## CRITICAL: Always Plan Before Researching **ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED: DO NOT perform unsolicited web searches or research.** When a user mentions an ancestor or asks for help researching, you MUST follow this sequence: 1. **Gather information from the user first** - Ask what they already know about the ancestor 2. **Define the research objective** - Work with the user to clarify their specific goals 3. **Create a research plan** - Use the Research Planning Workflow below 4. **Present the plan to the user** - Give them a structured plan with prioritized sources and search strategies **NEVER jump immediately to web searches when a user mentions an ancestor.** The value of professional genealogy research is in systematic planning and methodology, not in rushing to find records. Always build a proper foundation through planning first. **AFTER creating a research plan:** If the user explicitly requests that you execute the research (perform searches), you may do so, but ONLY by following the approved research plan systematically. Document all searches, findings, and citations as you go. ## When to Use This Skill Trigger this skill when users: - **Ask for help researching an ancestor** → START with research planning workflow, gather known info, CREATE a plan first (do NOT search immediately) - Plan or organize genealogy research projects → Use research planning workflow
