SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Answering broad questions about a codebase requires reading many files and tracing connections across components, which is slow and error-prone when done sequentially. This Skill decomposes a research question into parallel sub-agent investigations and synthesizes the results into a single, well-referenced research document. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel sub-agent research: Spawns 2-4 concurrent Explore and general-purpose agents, each focused on a specific research dimension with file:line references. - Scope clarification: Uses structured questions to align on research depth, breadth, and focus areas before launching agents. - Structured research documents: Generates a Markdown artifact with YAML frontmatter (date, git commit, branch, topic, tags) saved under context/changes/<change-id>/research.md, with optional GitHub permalinks. - Use Case: Ask "how does the restocking classification engine work" and receive a synthesized document covering src/lib/classification.ts, related services, historical decisions from prior changes, and open questions. ## Quick Start Invoke the skill and ask a research question such as "research how velocity classification and reorder recommendations flow through the codebase".

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a large codebase with AI agents?

Break the research question into composable areas, then spawn parallel sub-agents (Explore for file/pattern search, general-purpose for deep analysis) that each investigate one dimension. Synthesize their file:line-referenced findings into a single document after all agents complete.

How to run parallel sub-agents for code analysis?

Spawn 2-4 Task agents in a single message so they execute concurrently, each with a specific, read-only prompt requesting file:line references and usage patterns. Wait for all agents to finish before synthesizing results.

What is the difference between Explore and general-purpose agents?

Explore agents handle fast file and pattern searches plus code structure analysis, while general-purpose agents perform deep multi-step reasoning across many files. Use Explore to locate relevant code and general-purpose to understand complex systems.

Can research findings be saved as permanent documentation?

Yes, findings are written to context/changes/<change-id>/research.md with YAML frontmatter capturing date, git commit, branch, and topic. When on a pushed branch, local file references are replaced with GitHub permalinks for permanent links.

When should research scope be clarified before searching?

Clarify scope with structured questions when the query is ambiguous, covering depth, breadth, and focus areas. Skip clarification entirely when the query is already tight and unambiguous, such as finding all usages of a specific tool.
