# Research Mode for Claude Code

Anti-hallucination toggle for Claude Code. Activates citation constraints from [Anthropic's documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/test-and-evaluate/strengthen-guardrails/reduce-hallucinations) that force Claude to cite sources, say "I don't know" when unsure, and ground responses in direct quotes.

> **Using [Kipi Founder OS](https://github.com/assafkip/kipi-system)?** Research mode is already built into kipi-core. Just run `/q-research <topic>`. No extra install needed.

## Install

Works in Claude Code CLI, the macOS desktop app, and the VS Code extension. Open Claude Code and run these two commands:

**Step 1 -- Add the marketplace:**
```
/plugin marketplace add assafkip/research-mode
```

**Step 2 -- Install the plugin:**
```
/plugin install research-mode@assafkip-research-mode
```
