SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researching a topic against official documentation and source code is time-consuming and blocks your main work. This Skill offloads that reading legwork to a background agent so you keep working while findings are gathered and written up. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Background Research Agent: Spins up a separate agent to investigate a question while you continue your current task. - Primary-Source Grounding: Requires every claim to be traced back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs rather than secondary write-ups. - Markdown Report with Citations: Writes findings to a single Markdown file, citing the source of each claim, saved where the repo already keeps such notes. - Use Case: Ask how a specific API endpoint behaves; the agent reads the official docs and source, then saves a cited summary you can review later. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research how a specific library or API feature works and save the findings as a Markdown note in the repo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate research to a background agent?▼

State the question you want investigated and let the Skill spin up a background agent. It reads primary sources, writes findings to a Markdown file with citations, and saves it where the repo keeps such notes while you continue working.

What sources does the research agent use?▼

The agent investigates primary sources only: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. It follows every claim back to the source that owns it rather than relying on secondary articles or summaries.

Where are the research findings saved?▼

Findings are written to a single Markdown file saved where the repository already keeps similar notes. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and tells you where it saved the file.

When should I not use a background research agent?▼

Avoid it for quick factual lookups you can answer immediately or for questions requiring access to private systems the agent cannot reach. It is best suited for reading-heavy investigations against public docs and code.
