What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps when a Delano request is not ready for direct changes because the scope, constraints, evidence, or tradeoffs still need investigation. It creates a disciplined research intake so planning does not drift into guesswork.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Research intake setup: Opens a project-scoped research folder with task plan, findings, and progress files.
- Evidence-led investigation: Guides inspection of local files, commands, and other sources before mutating canonical delivery artifacts.
- Fold-forward workflow: Converts durable conclusions into spec, plan, decisions, workstreams, tasks, or updates when the evidence supports it.
- Use case: Use this Skill when a delivery request has competing options, unclear intent, or missing evidence and you need to resolve the uncertainty first.
Quick Start
Use the research-skill to investigate this Delano request, identify the evidence I need, and draft a concise research intake before changing any canonical project files.
