Create an annotated bibliography from supplied sources

An annotation should describe a source’s relevance and limits, not merely restate its title. Keep citation details exactly as supplied unless independently verified.

Define the evidence boundary

Give the research teammate a bounded set of documents or an explicit source scope. Request references next to claims and keep observation separate from interpretation. An AI summary is not independent verification of a source. Where live web access is unavailable, work from the supplied snapshot and label its date rather than describing the findings as current.

Inputs for this workflow: A source list and accessible source text.

Work through the task

  1. Record available citation metadata.
  2. Summarize contribution, scope and limitations.

A brief you can adapt

Create bibliography.md with source title, author when supplied, date, link and a short relevance note. Flag missing metadata instead of inventing it.

The filenames above are examples. Replace them with your actual inputs and destination before submitting the task.

Review the deliverable

Check titles, links and author names against the source itself.

Where this approach can fail

Do not fabricate publication details or pretend an inaccessible source was read in full.
