research

Describe the question you want investigated and the agent researches it in the background while you continue working. It reads primary sources, then writes cited findings to a Markdown file in your repository.

The agent uses 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.

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

Yes, each claim in the Markdown report cites its source. This lets you verify facts directly against the official documentation or code that owns the claim.

Avoid it for questions answerable from your local codebase context or requiring immediate interactive clarification. It suits open-ended reading tasks against external docs, not quick lookups you can resolve inline.
