What problem does it solve?
This Skill centralizes and documents technical investigations so teams can understand, reproduce, and act on issues without duplicating research effort. It converts ad-hoc queries, error messages, and topic investigations into repeatable, sourced reports stored in the repo.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Research Reports: Produces templated Markdown reports with TL;DR, official documentation findings, community knowledge, best practices, and sources.
- Evidence-Backed Synthesis: Combines official docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub issues, and internal findings to surface actionable guidance and common pitfalls.
- Use Case: An engineer encountering a flaky GCS resumable upload error runs the skill to produce a dated research file that captures docs, community workarounds, and recommended mitigations for the team.
Quick Start
Run /research with your question or pasted error message to produce a sourced research report and save it to docs/research/.
