Delegate the question to a background agent that investigates primary sources like official docs, source code, and specs. It writes findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source, and saves it where the repo keeps such notes.
The research process relies on primary sources: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. It explicitly avoids secondary write-ups and follows every claim back to the source that owns it.
Yes, the investigation is delegated to a background agent so you can continue other work in parallel. The agent reads sources independently and delivers the finished Markdown report when done.
Findings are saved as a single Markdown file where the repo already keeps such notes, matching the existing convention. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and tells you where it saved the file.
Avoid it for questions answerable from your own codebase context or when you need interactive back-and-forth exploration. It is designed for self-contained questions that require reading external primary sources, not iterative debugging sessions.
