SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Gathering accurate technical facts from official documentation, source code, and specs is time-consuming and pulls you away from your main task. This Skill delegates that reading legwork to a background agent so you keep working while trustworthy, source-cited findings are produced. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Primary-source investigation: Follows every claim back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs rather than secondary write-ups. - Cited Markdown output: Writes findings to a single Markdown file with each claim's source cited, saved where the repo already keeps such notes. - Background execution: Runs as a background agent so your main workflow continues uninterrupted. - Use Case: You need to confirm how a third-party API handles rate limits before writing integration code. Delegate the question, and receive a Markdown note in the repo citing the official API documentation for each behavior. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research how a specific library or API feature works using official documentation and save the cited 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 to handle it. The agent reads primary sources and writes cited findings to a Markdown file while you continue working on other tasks.

What sources does the research agent use?

The agent investigates against 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 or blog posts.

Where are the research findings saved?

Findings are written to a single Markdown file in the repository. The agent matches the repo's existing convention for such notes, and if none exists, it picks a sensible location and tells you where the file was saved.

Can I keep working while the research runs?

Yes. The research runs as a background agent, so your main session is not blocked. You continue your current task while the agent reads sources and compiles the cited Markdown findings.

When should I not use a research background agent?

Avoid it for questions answerable from your own codebase context or when you need an immediate inline answer. It is designed for deeper investigation requiring reading of external primary sources, not quick lookups.
