stop asking Claude one question and thinking you understand the topic. you don't.
Stanford proved a better way. it's called STORM. peer reviewed. 25% more organized output. open source.
the trick: don't ask one question. ask five. from five different experts.
>the practitioner: what do they know that academics miss?
>the skeptic: what's the strongest counterargument?
>the economist: who profits from the current narrative?
>the historian: what pattern has played out before?
>the academic: what does the evidence actually say?
4 prompts. 5 minutes. no software. no GitHub. just paste into Claude.

this article has all 4 prompts ready to copy. pick your hardest topic. paste prompt 1. you'll know more in 5 minutes than people who spent days reading.
