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 its findings to a cited Markdown file in your repo when finished.

The agent relies on primary sources: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. It follows every claim back to the source that owns it rather than trusting secondary write-ups or blog posts.

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

Yes. The skill is explicitly designed to run as a background agent, so your main session stays free for other tasks. The research completes independently and the report appears in the repo when done.

Avoid it for quick factual lookups you can answer immediately or when you need interactive back-and-forth to refine the question. It works best for self-contained investigations requiring substantial reading across docs or source code.
