Frequently Asked Questions about research-sweep

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate codebase analysis and generate improvement proposals?

Code-based research orchestration automates the investigation of a codebase, composing consolidated findings, ideas, and executive summaries to propose actionable improvements while keeping the developer in the loop.

What is a developer-in-the-loop approach for code research?

A developer-in-the-loop approach integrates automated research orchestration with manual oversight, ensuring the developer controls the code-based research process and reviews generated findings and improvement proposals.

How do I run an end-to-end research sweep on my codebase?

Run an end-to-end research sweep by invoking the researcher plugin, which orchestrates integrated skills to analyze the codebase and output executive summaries with improvement proposals.

Does code-based research orchestration work without sending data to external servers?

Yes, code-based research orchestration uses a local-first approach with opt-in web retrieval, providing full disclosure of all external requests to ensure data privacy.

Can I use research orchestration for complex software engineering projects?

Yes, for software engineering projects with complex requirements, research orchestration streamlines analysis by providing a comprehensive view of the codebase and generating actionable recommendations.

Do I need the researcher plugin to perform a code-based research sweep?

Yes, the researcher plugin is required because it provides the local research capabilities and egress control needed to orchestrate the end-to-end code analysis pipeline.
