research

Describe the question you want answered and the agent investigates it against primary sources in the background. It writes the findings to a cited Markdown file in your repo while you continue working on other tasks.

It relies on primary sources: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. Every claim is followed 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 repository already keeps such notes. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and tells you where it placed the file.

Yes, each claim in the Markdown report cites its source. This lets you verify statements directly against the official docs, code, or spec they came from.

Avoid it for questions answerable from your own codebase context or requiring real-time interaction, since it is designed for reading-heavy investigation of external primary sources rather than local code edits.
