Converts open-ended technical or project questions into concise, evidence-backed findings so teams can make informed next-step decisions without having to do the initial investigative work.
Ask the research skill to investigate whether upgrading lodash from 4.17.21 to 4.x is safe and produce a findings document with sources and confidence ratings.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To evaluate dependency upgrades, this research skill uses 2–4 targeted web queries to gather evidence and produces structured findings with explicit source citations and per-finding confidence levels for informed decisions.
Investigating API behavior is handled by formulating targeted queries and reading full pages from credible sources, falling back to local codebase search when web results are irrelevant to produce structured findings.
Confidence ratings for technical research are assigned per finding alongside What, Source, Relevance, and Action fields, ensuring each conclusion is explicitly backed by a credible source with a measured confidence level.
Yes, persistent research artifacts are generated for traceability by writing structured findings to .planning/research/{topic-slug}.md, ensuring the output remains accessible for future reference and project-level decision-making.
The research process stops at 3–6 credible sources to remain focused, ensuring the investigation produces concise, evidence-backed findings without excessive information gathering.
Local codebase searches are supported as a fallback when web results are irrelevant, allowing the investigation to proceed by reading local files and generating findings for project-level questions.
