agent/research/NN-<slug>.md with Question, Frame, and Findings sections, each claim cited by URL, file path, or commit, and cross-linked to related tickets via frontmatter. - Use Case: A ticket proposes three caching options. Run the research skill to test the framing, verify each option against the library's official documentation, and produce a cited artefact the implementation session reads directly. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research whether the current pagination approach in the API client handles cursor expiry correctly and write up the findings.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Invoke the research skill with a topic or question as its argument. The agent sharpens fuzzy questions, investigates against primary sources like official docs and source code, and writes a cited artefact to agent/research/ with Question, Frame, and Findings sections.
A research artefact is a numbered Markdown file (agent/research/NN-slug.md) containing point-in-time findings that other sessions consume. It cites every claim by URL, file path, or commit and links back to related tickets through frontmatter.
When a question arrives with a diagnosis or option list attached, the skill states the shared premise in one sentence, names the strongest option outside that frame, and checks whether dropping the premise dissolves the problem. User-decided frames like ADRs stand; conflicts are surfaced, not reopened.
Secondary write-ups can be outdated, simplified, or wrong, and agents that rely on them propagate errors into specs and code. Following each claim back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs ensures findings rest on the source that owns them.
Link the artefact whenever the research backs a spec or ticket, since future agents read from the ticket direction. List the artefact on the ticket and add a ticket: frontmatter line in the artefact pointing back.
