Instructions
Record a timestamped research belief or finding about an entity.
Use this whenever you reach a conclusion, update a previous belief, or
encounter evidence that changes your view. The timeline preserves the full
chain of reasoning across sessions.
Args:
entity: What this claim is about. Use a consistent name across sessions
(e.g. "RDT sensitivity in low-burden areas", "Disease X elimination study",
"DHIS2 tracker performance").
claim: Your current belief or finding in 1-3 sentences.
evidence: What supports this claim — paper citation, data result, meeting
discussion. Brief reference is enough.
confidence: "low", "medium", or "high".
source_type: "session", "paper", "meeting", "data_analysis", "literature_review".
source_ref: Specific reference — DOI, file path, meeting date.
supersedes_id: If this replaces a previous claim, pass that claim's id.
Set to 0 if this is a new claim with no predecessor.
