research

To investigate technology trade-offs and compliance requirements, dispatch a researcher agent with your topic, context, and focused questions. The agent returns structured findings with source attribution to inform your decisions.

Structured topic investigation is a research methodology that dispatches an agent to collect domain knowledge. It provides tiered research depth and returns organized findings with source attribution for compliance or technology analysis.

Yes, you can conduct research investigations without web search tools. The embedded agent instructions allow the researcher agent to operate and return structured findings with or without external web search capabilities.

To get structured findings with source attribution for compliance reviews, provide the researcher agent with a topic, context, 1-3 focused questions, and a desired depth level to obtain organized research results.

The best way to automate domain knowledge research is using a canonical entry point skill that dispatches a researcher agent. It collects external knowledge and feeds structured findings directly to calling skills like create-spec.

A limitation of tiered research methodology is that it relies on embedded agent instructions when web search tools are unavailable, meaning the depth of external knowledge gathering may be constrained by the agent's existing knowledge base.
