# Research — External Views

Source skill: **huashu-nuwa** (Phase 1 多源信息采集 — Agent 4 「他者」, output `04-external-views.md`).

**One of six research lanes that run in PARALLEL** (independent Agent swarm). Read only
`persona_brief.json`.

The subject's own account is an inside view; this lane is the **outside** one. Mine others' analyses,
reviews, profiles, and critiques for:

- **patterns observers name** that the subject does not name about themselves (blind spots)
- the **real criticisms and controversies** — the skill is explicit: 忽略负面评价 is a thing you must
  never do; the critiques sharpen the boundary
- **peer contrast** — how the subject differs from adjacent figures (this feeds the *exclusivity* leg
  of the triple test downstream)

## How to approach it

- This lane is second-hand by nature — mark it as such and weight it below the first-hand lanes; it
  *checks* the inside view, it does not override it.
- Separate observation from critique from inference; keep contradictions (an observer disagreeing with
  the subject is signal, not noise).

Write `04-external-views.json`. A *read*, not a judgment.

## Contributes to

`triple_verify` (fan-in — it supplies the outside check) and, through it, `synthesize`.
