## What problem does it solve? This Skill closes the gap between local codebase analysis and external prior art by systematically collecting existing patterns, relevant dependencies, docs, and prior attempts so downstream planning can build on real context instead of reinventing solutions.
## Core Features & Use Cases
### Quick Start Use the research skill to gather prior art for the proposed "add user authentication" feature and write .godmode/research.md.

To gather prior art for a proposed feature, you can scan dependency manifests, docs, and git history to map existing patterns, constraints, and prior attempts. This produces a concise research.md file with relevance tags.
You should scan dependencies and the codebase when adding cross-cutting features or integrating external libraries. This ensures you anchor proposals in existing patterns rather than reinventing solutions.
An explorer agent maps files, symbols, and abstractions related to a proposed feature in a read-only pass. It searches ADRs, RFCs, and git history to identify reusable packages and prior attempts.
The best way to document prior attempts is generating a compact .godmode/research.md file under 60 lines with HIGH, MED, or LOW relevance tags, and appending a .godmode/research-log.tsv entry before planning.
Yes, you can use this approach to avoid greenfield designs by systematically collecting existing patterns and relevant dependencies. It ensures downstream planning builds on real external context instead of starting from scratch.
Yes, the research output commits the .godmode/research.md file and appends a TSV log entry before dispatching to think. This ensures all prior art and external documentation are saved for downstream planning.
