research

Invoke the research skill with your question, and it spins up a background agent that investigates primary sources while you keep working. The agent writes cited findings to a Markdown file in your repository.

The agent uses 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 write-ups.

Findings are saved as a single Markdown file where the repository already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and tells you where.

Yes, each claim in the Markdown report carries a citation to its source. This makes the findings verifiable and lets you trace any statement back to the original documentation or code.

Avoid it for questions answerable from your own codebase context or requiring immediate interactive clarification. It suits open-ended investigation of external docs and APIs, not quick lookups you can resolve inline.
